    Police arrested him because black lives matter? Is that right?

    They do to white folks, but for them, it’s more a matter of what KIND of lives blacks have. /s?

    I believe this toon could run as the new one tomorrow, were it not for the face covers (which the MAGA cops of course aren’t wearing).

    If the violence wasn’t started by outside agitators, it was most likely started by the police.

    I wonder what the folks in the real Chagrin Falls (Ohio) think about their town’s name being used in this strip, which doesn’t always seem very complimentary toward the fictional residents.

    Is Ruben trying to kid Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson, who grew up there? (When my parents lived there for several years, I thought the place had a certain charm, but I never thought it would draw the attention of a cartoonist in this way.)

    He’s wearing a hoodie. THAT’S how they know he’s a troublemaker!

    “The ACLED dataset describing political violence during the summer of 2020 — the “US Crisis Monitor” — found that 9% of BLM demonstrations were met by some form of state intervention (including use of physical force as well as other interventions) compared to 4% of right-wing demonstrations and 3% of all other demonstrations in the same year. This targeting of BLM protestors is despite the fact that 94% of BLM demonstrations were non-violent and non-destructive compared to 86% of right-wing protests. Importantly state intervention at BLM protests was typically more violent than those at right-wing demonstrations. Indeed 51% of BLM protests were met with physical force (this included use of less-lethal projectiles like tear gas or rubber bullets to beating protestors with batons) compared to 33% of right-wing demonstrations and 26% of other demonstrations.

    “Hanging with my pal” means something very different from what it once did.

    Too many people in positions of authority shouldn’t be.

    I wish these cartoons would go out of date, but they refuse to do it.
