although i did grow up in Fairfield County i did not attend UCONN.
my vote in november is still TBD. there is a chance i could vote Biden depending on his VP choice. but seriously, if you are telling me that the group in power for the past 3.5 years is not really in power then i would consider a vote for donald.

You have become so filled with hatred for Trump that you have lost the ability of rational thought. I saw the entire event of Monday night. There were no strong armed tactics but good solid crowd control. But typical of the anti Trump left they get hysterical and exaggerate what actually happened.
But Monday night was three days ago. Last night a thug shot an NYPD. police officer and 2 others were stabbed. The FBI now has proof of Antfa violence. Let see you spin those facts.
What I wrote was an exaggeration for the right wing extremist TeddyBallgame or whatever his name is...he is fully warped.
Like everyone else I abhor the violence that killing George Floyd has spawned. People have the absolute right to protest peacefully and when you try to suppress that by the kind of strong arm tactics that the park police used on June 1 what you get is more violence, not less. They will just take it somewhere else and pick a different day to express it.
Antifa is a radical anarchist group that is dangerous and should be dealt with appropriately when they incite violence, cause destruction of property, and threaten physical harm, like anyone else. While they espouse a few of the platforms that the democratic party has adopted they are mostly a fringe group.
The issue I have with the June 1 protest is that it was an over-reaction caused by a desire by the Donkey in the White House to show strength. Sometimes the best way to be strong is to do nothing. Trying to suppress this movement with violent strong arm tactics is not going to produce the desired result. And yes, tear gas and rubber bullets ARE strong arm tactics.

I do want to raise a different issue regarding the murder of Mr Floyd. I like all of us was appalled by his murder. The one thing I noticed about the video that I found especially disturbing was that Chauvin seemed to be enjoying himself. It almost appeared that he had a personal grudge against Mr Floyd. Then when it became known that they had worked together it became more likely that this was not a chance encounter. It were not a chance encounter then first degree murder charges would certainly be a consideration.
Further the other cops seemed to defer to Chauvin. I certainly would like to know why. It appears to me there is much more going on then what has made public thus far.
