Quote:One person has been arrested in Austin for throwing lit fireworks into a city police car, setting it on fire, during a protest at an intersection where immigrants illegally in the country have been arrested in recent days.

Authorities say the man who tossed the fireworks into the patrol car got into another vehicle that drove off, was followed by officers and was apprehended when he tried fleeing on foot during a traffic stop early Sunday.

He's held initially on a charge of evading arrest.

Not sure what Obama or Trump have to do with a local police matter? Was vandalizing a police car legal under Obama? I must have missed that.

Well for starters, Obama spent 8 years attacking the police, undermining them at any chance he could get and never really supported the local police. On the other hand, Trump has gone out of his way to support law enforcement on the local, state and national level. As a lib I know you will deny all of that, but you know I speak the absolute truth.

Ok I'll play along.

So we have Trump in office now, great lover and supporter of the police. What does that have to do with the incident in the OP? Are you saying that this kind of stuff, that happened under a Trump presidency, won't happen under a Trump presidency? Or is there going to be some special yuge Trump law that allows this dumb ass criminal to be punished more severely? Did Obama have a rule in place that people who vandalized police cars couldn't be prosecuted?

Obama did what Obama wanted during his 8 years. He's a campus activist that never grew up, he lives off dissent against the man. That's why, when he actually became the man, he was so woefully inadequate at it. He didn't want to help America, he wanted to change it and not for the better.

The perp lit a police car on fire. The perp was caught and arrested. No riot ensued. It seems to me the system worked.

No need. The laws against terrorism are already on the books.

https://www.nij.gov/topics/crime/terrori...lcome.aspx

Quote:The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as “the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.”

Start charging a few of these idiots who think a protest involves destroying public or private property with domestic terrorism and I'm willing to bet that they'll suddenly learn to behave

Liberals like to present their movement as "tolerant" and "peaceful", but nothing could be farther from the truth. When there is violence at a protest, it seems it usually stems from liberals attacking those that disagree with there views. I can't remember any conservative events where, the protesters turned violent, and burned cop cars.

Austin is the capital of Texas. Governor Abbott should bring in the State Guard (Yes, Texas has it's own Army that only answers to the Governor). I wonder if Soros explained that to the professional protesters he bused in.
