    Did not realize no looters or rioters were arrested. As usual, cons love to play the victim.

    Those days were already over in most places. And we are starting to see the result of it. 1300 new cases in Florida today and the highest 3 day total in Florida so far.

    Let it sink in that the meme is false, but you knew that and were OK posting it.

    About 0.005 percent of Looters were arrested. About the same number as the number of unarmed blacks killed by police last year.

    You have zero information to back that up, just throwing crap out.
    If it was true, sounds like shitty policing if they are only catching .005% of the criminals in this case. Maybe a little less time killing innocent people and a bit more time solving crime.

    How many unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019? Gotta be a big number right? Try 9.

    Now it should be zero but it's not some crazy high number. But there are racist police and we should have body cameras on all police officers that can't be turned off and have an effective way to get rid of bad cops(good luck with the police union).

    Of course i'm being facetious with the percentages of looters, but I can tell you it isn't high. Not making it up on the Police killing black numbers though...

    Wouldn't hospitalizations be lagged? If the argument is that we have enough tests to find cases now, shouldn't most patients now be identified before showing up at hospitals?

    If you test more people, then the numbers will go up. It's math

    Not if infections are going down, proportionally. It's simple math. :eye roll:

    Fair enough. So it looks like 575 were for crimes related to violence. So I'll ask the question in a more accurate fashion: do you think 11.5 million people were looting in LA?

    And if more people get covid, more people will seek to be tested. It's math.

    They arrested 500 in Atlanta, if they are only arresting .005%, that means we had millions of looters in ATL?
