Lousville has emerged as one flashpoint in a summer of unrest due to the death of Breonna Taylor, a Black 26-year-old woman who was killed when the city’s police burst into her apartment with a “no-knock” arrest warrant in March. Demonstrations against racism and police brutality have swept the United States since May 25 when George Floyd, a Black man, died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.In Portland, Oregon — another protest flashpoint — police arrested 27 people overnight, mostly on charges of interfering with law enforcement or disorderly conduct.

The Trump administration deployed federal officers to Portland in July to crack down on the protests. Republican President Donald Trump signed a memo on Wednesday that threatens to cut federal funding to “lawless” cities, including Portland. This week, both Trump and Biden visited Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Midwestern city was the site of clashes among protesters, police and militia after a white policeman there shot Jacob Blake in the back multiple times. Blake, who is Black, was paralyzed from the waist down.Biden met with Blake’s family and spoke with Blake on the telephone, and has expressed sympathy with people protesting police violence.

Thought this only happened in Democratic states

Hmm

Democrats buried their city's down and attack people vote the bums out

I have carried a weapon in Fear of dying from an enemy in War, I have carried a weapon for Fear of Starvation in the wilderness, I have Never carried a weapon to Protest for Justice. I should not Fear the Law nor Justice. Vote Veteran4PeaceAndJustice

At least everyone’s wear masks...

🔶 Why do Trumper's have to wear military looking outfits? And carry HUGE semi automatic rifles. What are they trying to proove? They look like South American Guerilla warfare guys.

Imagine if you took this image and said something like “Rivals peacefully come together to talk about their differences.”

Bet they still play with their Action Men at home LOOSERS

BLM lost.

This is WHY we didn’t have the Derby in our wonderful city and state. It wasn’t COVID if the truth be told. People would have worn masks(that don’t help) and fewer than normal tickets would have been available. This garbage is why we didn’t have the Kentucky Derby 🐎. Pathetic.

there is no ratial divide , ask rumsfeld , rice , or simpson or lebron , ther is only class divide of have and have nots , what shold ne normal in true capitalism ,and should be peacefull as long as bottom half belevie it has a chance to change their situation,but is no longer so

They are literally shaking hands.

When Trumpys are met with equal firepower, they shake hands.

Hay they are wearing masks as well. There is hope.

2. amandment seems not so great in this divide ?

Man, I like that! I have to admit, I’ve been pushed to the brink, but I really like that image. Neither is holding a sign or asking for anything other than understanding.

Don’t fight each other. Watch the sports together!

Uh, that is 'squaring off?'

bidenharris pitting people against each other by skin color

This would’ve been so much better if the rival groups were horses.

That’s a nice photo of them shaking hands.

The white racist AVOIDED The NFAC 🤣🤣 An old black women had to tell them to stop hiding and go confront them and not unarmed people ... COWARDS

If the left wins, can we get senatemajldr out of office? That seems fair

Sad
