If the protests can be turned on -AND TURNED OFF- with the flick of a switch when Federal forces are removed then George Floyd and BLM was just a pretext, and this whole hoopla was about Trump
I thought the protest was about this

EXCLUSIVE: Police bodycam footage shows moment-by-moment arrest of George Floyd for the first time - from terror on his face when officer points gun at his head, sobbing before he's shoved into squad car and begging to breathe as his life drains away

Nope, sorry comrade. It was Trumps political operation. It shows the protests after the initial anger waned would proceed, for the most part, peacefully. That Trump should have let the states handle it. And, perhaps more importantly, that he fucked this up too.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

I'll be sure to throw that one back in your face when you're crying about the Electoral College on November 4th.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
Yeah, Dems care about "the rules" .. except the ones restricting surveillance by the spook agencies, and the ones about conducting political prosecutions based on lies and entrapment, and the ones about using non-government servers for government business, and the ones that are supposed to prevent Star Chamber proceedings and maintaing secret "kill lists". You mean, like THOSE rules?

I'll set the timeline even closer, SIX: We can throw this is SECOND's face when indictments start coming out, before the election.
Win or lose in November, Donald Trump is waging a “law and order” campaign that will leave a trail of wreckage likely to outlast his presidency. Sending paramilitary-style forces into Portland, Oregon, and threatening to do the same in other cities, is damaging the reputations of the federal agencies he oversees and deepening the divide between law-enforcement agents and the citizens they’re supposed to protect.
What’s motivating him is no mystery. Losing ground in the polls, Trump is depicting Democrat-led cities as crime-soaked wastelands that threaten the suburban voters who have drifted away from him over the past four years.
“It’s a winning message for him that he’s not going to tolerate this disruption of society,” Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and a Trump confidant, told me. “I do believe that most people, particularly those in the suburbs who are not very far from all this violence, are worried about the country getting out of hand.”
Tom Ridge, the DHS’s first secretary, appointed by former Republican President George W. Bush, told me that scenes from Portland demonstrate his old agency has strayed far from its intended purpose. “The goal then was the same as today: to protect and defend this country and our interests from the ever-present threat of global terrorism, period,” Ridge said. “It was never the intention to establish a department that the president can view as his personal militia.”

How about that secret kill list that Obama had? Or using the FBI for political purposes?
One thing I can always count on: SECOND's hypocrisy. It never fails.

From his first days as commander in chief, the drone has been President Barack Obama’s weapon of choice, used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill the people his administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. There has been intense focus on the technology of remote killing, but that often serves as a surrogate for what should be a broader examination of the state’s power over life and death.

If Obama or Trump was killing political rivals as part of a reelection strategy, that would be breaking a rule. But drone strikes? That is about violating international laws, not US Constitutional Law. This thread is "about the US constitution". Those words are in the title.
