Should the TSBD be demolished?

[Rick Plant]

It has nothing to do with Donald Trump or "strongman" or any other silly argument. It has to do with the facts.

Criminal Donald launched the biggest assault against Civil Rights in American History. He called for and encouraged police brutality against Americans (specifically African Americans), dismantled voting rights, attacked peaceful protestors for his bible photo op, and shut down professional black athletes to peacefully bring awareness to police brutality by taking a knee before the game. His entire bogus "presidency" was based on racsim because he wanted to appeal to white supremacists that are his core base. 

It was his hateful and racist rhetoric that allowed African Americans to be shot and beaten by racist cops because he encouraged them to do it. And when African Americans finally had enough of this police brutality, they decided to march and protest in the streets along with other races joining in the Black Lives Matter movement, Criminal Donald had his unidentified military gestapo thugs violently beat up protestors. And you had the right wing media pushing lies and propaganda against this civil rights movement because they are against civil rights.

Maybe this should have been a poll. Enough Dallas monuments have been torn down or demolished.

One statue removed from Dallas Love Field ....A Texas Ranger.
Used to be "One riot--One Ranger" Oh well.
Was there in 1961.... so Kennedy might have seen it but probably not.
Someone wrote this book and said some of the Rangers were racist

The only ones I could find that were recently removed were Confederate ones.

How come the same people who are tearing down these statues are the same ones constructing statues of an individual who robbed a pregnant woman at gun point?

They're the "same ones"? You sure about that? You seem to paint pretty broadly there and delight in stereotypes.

The Floyd statue is mean to honor the Turning Point in History of his death, when a White Power police officer was finally brought to justice for the cold-blood murder of a black man.

Maybe you think Chauvin is the one who, per Fox News' Tucker Carlson, was lynched? Or are you just going to keep pussyfooting around with your dog-whistles and tropes?

Are they going to build a statue to the unarmed woman and former military vet killed by the Capitol police?  I'm guessing not.  At least Floyd's murderer was convicted after an open investigation.  They have covered up all the details of the Jan. 6 shooting including the name of the officer involved.  Where is the outrage?  Again, you do not appear to really be concerned with police abuses or racism but using certain selective incidences for political purposes.  The Dems need 80-90% of the black vote to have any chance of winning an election.  As a result, they must convince black citizens that they are subject to racism and only their white elitists liberal overlords can protect them from the racist republicans.  But if a liberal elitist like Trudeau puts on blackface and acts like a moron, there is nothing to see.  It's all Trump's fault.   In actuality, we live in the most prosperous and diverse society in the history of the world.  It is sad and unfortunate that there are those who try to divide folks based on race, gender, and income.  A very destructive way to maintain political power.

Ashli Babbitt was shot leading a violent mob........ 

Ashli Babbitt was not leading anything.
Before you come back with the usual...the DOJ has already closed the thing and continues to refuse to name the shooter that murdered her.

The investigation determined that, on January 6, 2021, Ms. Babbitt joined a crowd of people that gathered on the U.S. Capitol grounds to protest the results of the 2020 presidential election.
