They are doing this because they believe the country is a middle school classroom and its better to convince people with a movie.

it's hard because there HAS been violence and looting, but to talk about it feels really unfair to the legitimate cause for real protest. This is a way past due reckoning and to focus on broken windows and thrown water bottles is a cop out.
Also I will never stop being angry at opportunists who have used the protests as an excuse to be violent.

The very least they could have done is actually put the date, time and location of the clips. This is insane

Jerrold is mad that Shouty broke the rules by not giving him 48 hours' notice about using video during the hearing, which violates committee rules. CENSURE HIM, JERRY DO IT DO IT

Also I will never stop being angry at opportunists who have used the protests as an excuse to be violent. Yep, but otoh talking hasn't gotten anywhere. So now they got attention and its being discussed.
I dont know if I were a member of a disenfranchised group who has spent for.ev.er pleading to be treated equally that I could also refrain from violence.

His comment that deaths of black people at the hands of police are "perceived" to be due to systemic racism reeks.

Nadler is trying to tease out if they're sending storm troopers into cities to help 45's reelection campaign. Barr is bitchily saying, "Im not going to discuss what I discuss with the president!"
Nadler: You really can't hide anymore, we all see what you're doing

now Barr is being all indignant about Roger Stone. He was old and a first time offender. You can't put old first time offenders in jail.
If they're white.

Not to mention, its being reported that there are plants from the right who are instigating. Also dont tell me the right has a great love of all life, when you're gassing and hitting with impact munitions ON YOUR OWN CITIZENS. I just saw a news story on FB that the police determined the riots in Richmond were started by white supremacists posting as BLM.
