Video on social media shows protesters linked to Black Lives Matter rioting in Seattle on Sunday, including smashing windows and looting an Amazon store while protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for detaining illegal migrants.
“Large crowd continuing to march on Pike Street from downtown,” Seattle police posted on Twitter on Sunday. “Two individuals were arrested outside of the West Precinct. Demonstrators threw rocks, bottles and other items at officers. At least one officer has been transported to the hospital.”
The local Fox affiliate reported on the riot: 
Police say a peaceful protest started about 10:30 a.m. Sunday, but three hours later, a second group showed up carrying baseball bats. The second group began marching on Fifth Avenue, breaking windows and tagging buildings with paint along the way.
They vandalized SPD headquarters and Seattle Municipal Court before targeting downtown businesses and marching to the West Precinct, where they tried to break in but were thwarted by officers. Someone or a group threw large fireworks at police, injuring multiple officers and sending one to the hospital.
Police used pepper spray and blast balls to stop the assault on officers and arrested two people near the West Precinct. The group – which police called organized and intent on causing property damage – eventually broke up at Cal Anderson Park.
“These are criminal acts, not peaceful protests,” the police said.

At least 65 people were shot, 10 fatally, over the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
On July 19, 2020, Breitbart News reported 50 had been shot, at least six killed, between Friday evening and Sunday morning alone.  Those numbers only rose as the rest of Sunday played out.
NBC 5 reports the shootings began Friday at 5:30 p.m. “in the 8200 block of South Drexel.” Three individuals were standing on the sidewalk when someone opened fired from inside a vehicle. A “14-year-old boy was hit in the face, a 21-year-old man was hit in the arm and a 27-year-old woman was hit in the buttocks.”
The Chicago Sun-Times reports the latest shooting occurred Sunday night just before midnight in the 11300 block of South Carpenter Street. A group of people were standing outside when someone opened fire, killing a 26-year-old man and 41-year-old man and wounding three others.
During same weekend one year ago, 43 people were shot, three fatally. The increase in victims this year is indicative of a surging gun violence that shows no sign of abating.
After all, at least 60 people were shot, 10 fatally, last weekend and at least 70 were shot, 14 fatally, the weekend before that.
On July 10, 2020, Breitbart News reported Chicago shootings were up 76 percent compared to that same time in 2019.
Mayor Lightfoot’s most recent suggestion for curtailing the violence was to offer up more gun control. Ironically, two-thirds of the controls she proposed already exist in the Chicago area.

Michelle Malkin beaten by BLM thugs and prevented from speaking at Denver pro-police rally


By Peter Barry Chowka
Conservative author and activist Michelle Malkin was brutally assaulted and prevented from speaking as she made her way to the speaker’s platform at a pro-police public rally in downtown Denver on Sunday. The patriotic event, the 6th Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Day billed as “family friendly,” was advertised in advance on social media including at Malkin’s Twitter, where she has 2.2 million followers.

There are talkers. There are doers. Which one are you? Coloradans: Join @randycorporon @Casper4Colorado @stevereams me & many other patriots downtown Denver 3pm TOMORROW for 6th annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. NOW MORE THAN EVER. (Hi @jaredpolis)
 
Advertisement for the Denver pro-police event on social media
Malkin was live streaming the event from her cell phone on Periscope Sunday afternoon as the situation deteriorated after masked thugs wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts assaulted two speakers and then set upon Malkin. A diminutive child of immigrants from the Philippines who legally moved to the U.S. in the late 1960s, Malkin, who was born in Philadelphia in 1970, describes herself as a “little brown woman” with a “big mouth.” Malkin linked to the entire 35 minute long Periscope video at her Twitter.
On the video, which had been viewed over 150,000  times by early Monday, several individuals identifying themselves as Black Lives Matter accost Malkin as one or more of them unfurl collapsible batons and begin pushing and beating on Malkin. In the process, she loses a shoe and is eventually assisted in escaping to a waiting car by the event’s security volunteers, at which point the video feed ends. Malkin was understandably distraught at this unanticipated violent turn of events and expressed frustration that Denver police, who were visibly present in the area, did nothing to stop the attacks or to allow the peaceful pro-police rally to continue.
At 3:55 PM MDT Sunday, right after being prevented from speaking, Malkin tweeted:
So @jaredpolis [Colorado Democrat Governor] @DenverPolice  [Denver] Chief Pazen, are you ok with pro-police patriots being swarmed, targeted and assaulted in a clearly orchestrated attack??? I caught it all on video and recorded the faces of the brutal animals. Please @realDonaldTrump – we need LAW & ORDER!!! S.O.S!

This was me after witnessing a veteran & an organizer who had just led group prayer getting beaten on stage while police did nothing. This was me shouting at masked Antifa wielding a baton.” Source: Michelle Malkin’s Twitter

Hours later, Malkin spent late Sunday night into Monday morning on her Twitter account, issuing a variety of tweets describing what happened as she linked to video clips that documented the events.

This is the moment the Antifa thugs bum-rushed the stage. I filmed the guy with the huge longboard that pro-police organizer Ron McLaughlin was beaten with just minutes after praying.

Here's where BLM bitches attacked several women on stage. We were sprayed in our faces w/aerosol string, which @kyleclark thinks is hilarious. BLM girl takes off mask & lays hand on woman in front of me as I shout at her to get back.

This is the moment one of our people was beaten on stage by invading BLM/Antifa. Then BlackBloc lady took out baton. That's why I screamed @kyleclark. The crap BLM bitch sprayed in my face was still all over me.
Malkin took special aim at a local Denver television news reporter who described the BLM “protesters” as meeting the pro-police rally with “opposing free speech.”
Michelle Malkin @michellemalkin

Opposing “speech?” Why don’t you post the screengrab of the masked Antifa militiawoman wielding a collapsible baton at me or the bloodied organizer on stage beaten with a bullhorn & longboard @KyleClark – you think this is funny?? You are a sick man.
Ken Cuccinelli, the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security (aka Acting Deputy Secretary of DHS), took note of the events in a response to a tweet by Portland, Oregon conservative journalist and documentarian Andy Ngô.

Outrageous violence. These tyrannical, left-wing anarchists hate free speech. If you do not agree with them, they believe you must be beaten down – literally.
Until recently, violence of this kind to suppress conservative free speech was largely limited to the nation’s leftist-dominated college campuses. Obviously, a new page has now been turned as many of America’s leading cities – all of them under Democrat party control – have abandoned enforcing laws big and small. The expression of free speech is now openly threatened off the campuses. Which one of the Bill of Rights will be next?

Chicago Police Statistics Destroy Black Lives Matter Narrative


By Parker Beauregard
There is no shortage of activist groups denouncing allegations of police brutality.  Sometimes it's legitimate; every honest person admits that unwarranted acts of violence against undeserving citizens occur.  How could they not?  There are about 700,00 sworn officers in the United States who make over 50 million contacts with the public every year.  The act is getting played out, though, because to suggest that every fatal result is tied to racism or that the actions of a minute few should speak for the entire group is a gross absurdity.
Last week in Chicago, a protest of sorts obediently marched to the tune of hackneyed charges of systemic injustice.  The tired narrative droned on about bad policing, police targeting of the black community, and too much jail or prison time.  This kept the crowd from considering alternatives to their afternoon work, such as offering a token of gratitude to thankless peacekeepers in their own backyard, the murder capital of America.  One wonders if they know that out of the 560 homicides, 475 victims were black, killed not by the police or whites, but by other blacks.
By all means, protest.  But when people complain about the system being rigged, they need to remember they voted for their system, and they've been voting for the same system for quite a while.  The mayoral offices have been run by Democrats since before the Great Depression, which means only about 2 million out of 350 million total Americans were alive the last time the city voted for a Republican.  Most recently, Obama acolyte Rahm Emanuel helmed the city between 2011 and 2019, and currently a woman by the name of Lori Lightfoot, whose sole victory in the role comes from being the first openly gay, black mayor of the town, presides over the carnage.  While it is a hallmark of leftism to celebrate immutable characteristics, what it does not do is focus on her decision-making.  Despite Ms. Lightfoot's previous work as a president of the Chicago Police Board and now helm as mayor, the city continues to see hundreds of black-on-black homicides a year.  The figure will surely rise this year as she commands police to back off from doing their jobs.
Are the dire circumstances in the black community the fault of the criminal justice system and the police?  The Democrat-voting crowd in a city therefore run by Democrats seem to think so, but the numbers suggest otherwise.
A big-picture view will help introduce us to the data.  In 2018, the most recent year available, according to the police department itself, Chicago centers fielded over 3 million civilian 911 calls for support.  In a city with just over 2.5 million residents, that's an average of over one per person per year.  As high as that number is, even more incredible is that in 2007, they received 5 million calls, or two for every resident that year. 
While not every call resulted in a direct police dispatch, the city nonetheless recorded over 3 million police-civilian interactions in 2018.  Of those contacts, 85,000 resulted in arrests.  Put another way, only one out of every thirty-five contacts police initiate ends in an arrest.
All of this is innocuous enough.  What about police brutality and violence?
According to the reports, police had to respond with additional force 309 times.  For all of the media coverage of police firing willy-nilly on suspects, the entire Chicago police force — a group over 12,000 strong — discharged their firearms only 43 times.  Most of the use of force was with a taser.
It is this statistic on firearm use that deserves a second look.  In the course of making 3 million contacts and conducting 85,000 arrests, only 43 firearm discharges were necessary.  In other words, the odds of the Chicago police firing upon a person after making contact with him is 0.0014%.  It would be like placing quarters end to end for an entire mile and trying to have someone guess which one you're looking at.  And that quarter would be threatening your life, so it more rightly deserved to be identified.
Of the 43 firearm discharges, not every shot fired was lethal.  In fact, the entire force averaged 10 civilian deaths per year between 2013 and 2018, an amazing decline in use of force from years past.  While that would still lead protesters to suggest that each death was excessive, since 2007, just one of the 400 deaths by police was found to be unjustified.  Most fatal encounters end after a suspect displays a commensurate use of force against police or other civilians.
One of the great lies told by Democrats, Black Lives Matter, and the media is that police represent systemic racism.  The narrative goes that instead of wanting to make their communities safer, they sign up for the thankless role and low pay because it allows them to hunt down blacks.  Because this is never reported, it might surprise you to know that between 2007 and 2016, over 95% of all Chicago police officers never even fired their weapon.  Perhaps those 95% of officers missed the day of training on "How to Be a Systemic Racist."
What is not laughable is the fact that along with the uncertainty that comes with making public contact comes the very real physical danger police put themselves in.  In the course of making public contacts, the department reported that 1,242 officers were injured during use of force encounters. Unjustified shootings? A complete myth. Of those, 337 faced severe assault. In light of this information, it's astounding that more use of force did not occur. It certainly would have been warranted.
It has been said before and bears repeating.  The brave men and women who put on the uniform every day, particularly in an extremely volatile and dangerous city like Chicago, deserve our utmost respect.  The black community performed a boycott of sorts on July 2 to remind us of their economic buying power, but life generally went on as normal.  If the Chicago police took a day off, the result would be pure death and chaos, really affecting black lives.  It's time to get priorities in order. 
It's time for Black Lives Matter to thank a police officer for making black lives matter.
