Just saw Rev. Jesse Jackson Megyn Kelley's show followed by.....

I thought this would a good interview. Hadn't seen Jesse in a while.

She said the normal divisive mouthwords citing BLM chanting "pigs in a blanket" etc (they stick to that one instance over a year ago I think) trying to make it one vs. another. Jesse was cordial, thoughtful, and redirected to the concern of ease of access to high powered weapons "that overpower the police"

"Thank you Reverend Jackson" after maybe 2 minutes.
Megyn stays on screen. Jesse sweeps to the right and in swipes Sheriff David Clarke (Fox's favorite). He opens with "I'm just trying to make sense of that BABBLE that I just heard".

Totally disrespectful.

Clarke then claimed that the Dallas police chief said that the shooter had praised BLM. Megyn " slightly different language but okay".

The police had to resort to a robot bomb because nothing else would work. The police force was overpowered. Nothing more should need be said. We have a gun problem that needs fixing.

The fix is not robot bomb assassins.

Two guys in body armor with (I think) fully automatic weapons kept an entire polic force at bay for a long time. Injuring many. I remember watching it and my friends and I were surprised that the police only had shotguns. SWAT had the guns needed. That could be a control thing with not letting a patrolman have that heavy of a gun.
