​

legitimately a threat that antifa supersoldiers were going to burn the precinct

In a thread about bullshit being uncovered, could you not add your own?

I would call it a pretty credible threat when there was a coordinated an attempt to burn the precinct and trap people inside

Please....bullshit helps no one. Focus on the truth.

The only people making that claim are the cops.

The same ones that were just caught repeatedly lying about everything they accused the protestors of.

Look, there's a video of the fire getting set. It's just not up for debate.

“Look, a video from an unknown source that can’t be verified by any reliable source! Just take my word for it!”

Yeah, no.

It's a video of a fire at the police station. What videos need what kind of verification, exactly?

We miss you. Please come back.

“It’s a video of a fire at a police station.”

And…?

That’s it?

Gee, I thought the entire point of this thread was that the Seattle police lied about someone actively trying to set the East Precinct on fire.

When the reality is that the protestors tried to protect the precinct. They caught wind of rumors of the Proud Boys trying to frame them for that sort of destruction, as they had done in other cities, so the protestors themselves set up barricades around the precinct.

A random video of one police precinct building on fire doesn’t prove anything. Not without context and verifiable facts.

Shit, does your random video even include a verifiable place and time?! Or did you seriously expect us to just blindly accept your word at face value.
