Impressive bearing despite harassment...

Promote this man. That’s military bearing if I’ve ever seen it. pic.twitter.com/kIhCbDz61P

Things are getting spicey. Unfortunately the worst is yet to come. The funeral will be a flashpoint from hell and will probably lead to a new wave of violence.

Even worse?

We're seeing classic insurgent tactics.

Criminals, anarchist, ANTIFA, white supremacists and other trouble makers are hiding behind legit protesters. They're blending in with the population.

My hope is that we're not seeing what's going on in the background. Hopefully our Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies (along with the intel community) are working hard to identify and apprehend leaders and membership that are stoking/committing acts of violence.

Have you been keeping up with Egyptian arms purchases? Either they're about to go to war, have visions of being the Middle Eastern Superpower or both.

Regardless the variety of gear that they're purchasing will be a logistical nightmare. I even have to wonder how nicely it all fits together on the tactical level. The mix of gear reminds me of the Iraqi armed forces before the Gulf War.

Is elected law enforcement different than appointed? Posted without commentary.

Genesee County Sheriff (Flint, Michigan) Chris Swanson put down his helmet and baton and asked protesters how he could help.

The protesters chanted "walk with us" so the Sheriff joined — and walked alongside the protesters in solidarity.
