Calling them a pawn is generous. A pawn can actually promote to a better piece if it does well enough. These people never could no matter how well they did.

Who would have guessed a far left prosecutor would try to use a case like this to boost her standing and funding. The most surprising thing about this was that there were actual consequences for her however light they may be.

I mean we already had multiple examples of that already with Wheeler like when they trashed his house and everything near it. At this point it's more about them coming up with a new way to show they're coming for him too.

I dunno about capacity to do so (frankly I doubt it) but I'm fairly certain that if someone were to kidnap or murder Wheeler it would very much be illegal to pay them for it. Hell depending on how the law is like the poster might be illegal too but that would depend on if they could pretend it's...

Considering there's video and the police are there, at a minimum his insurance is going to be less then happy with him.

From what I gather they tried to call in other nearby areas via mutual aid agreements but no one showed up. I'm not too sure that she's telling the truth on that one.

There's also the issue that the Spanish Crown didn't actually like slavery happening in it's American colonies. It tried it's best to put a stop to or minimize it but between the distances involved and the realities on the ground (the colonies would straight up not be viable) the natives were...

Look at it this way, at least you're not saying it from a street barricade.

Well, to the surprise of no one, protesters are now tearing down statues of Thomas Jefferson. https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-protesters-tear-down-racist-statue-thomas-jefferson

A good first step. Though until they actually get said sentence rather then the indictment. I'm not going to be impressed.

Is this how we wind up in Shadowrun?

There's also the "how many of the inhabitants are going to stay in the area ane will enough stay to make a store here profitable." which is rather difficult after events like this.

*Was literally yelling at her aldermen a few hours ago because she was unwilling to put enough resources to protect their neighborhoods. Is stunned retailers don't want to come back to said burnt down and abandoned neighborhoods.* Sometimes I really wonder if some of these officials actually...

Considering who the mayor in question is I'm not too sure this is as much judgement call as it is straight up incompetence or just not giving a damn about the other areas. Not to mention rebuilding is damn near guaranteed not to happen for areas that get burnt to the ground afterwards because no...

Meanwhile in Chicago it seems the mayor has decided to save downtown at the expense of the neighborhoods except not all the aldermen are happy to let their areas burnt to ash...

Honestly? Very little. I'm legitimately surprised they managed to keep the word count down to three words instead of filling the whole banner with text.

"We Will Tread" *Draws hand clamping around snake* I'm not so sure they understand what the word tread means...

Because for a good while it seemed as if popular online and media opinion was with the rioters. Then polls started coming in that not only would the majority of Americans happily send the national guard in to put an end to the riots over half would be willing to send in the army to do it. Which...

Better it goes to them then any of the Antifa aligned groups rioting right now. The worst they can do with it is waste it on things they shouldn't be wasting money on like drugs or alcohol which while bad is ultimately going to only impact them.

Rallies and internal organizing are different things though. By it's nature a rally is extremely open to the public and a lot harder to keep random outsiders from entering without vetting, the other a lot less so.
