| [FoxNews] A California man captured on camera pointing a loaded AR-15 rifle at a group of advancing protesters has been arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Jacob Daniel Bracken, 38, of Rancho Cucamonga, faces two counts of assault with a deadly weapon related to the incident in Upland on Monday, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office said. Even though Bracken did not fire the rifle and no one was injured, Upland Police Chief Darren Goodman explained the assault charge: “You point the weapon at someone with the intent to intimidate and the weapon being loaded itself.” One video shared by a KNBC reporter at the scene showed Bracken take the AR-15 out of a pickup truck, yelling for the crowd to “back the f--- up.” Goodman said they have videos as well as still photos that “conclusively showed” Bracken pointing the weapon at some point. |

| #7 Looking at the video at the link, that’s definite Antifa behaviour, trolling for an arrestable response. |

| #5 Re #2, that's just "one small step" toward the goal of eventual "defunding of the police." L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez on Wednesday then officially introduced the motion, tweeting that it was "to cut funding to the LAPD, as we reset our priorities in the wake of the murder of #GeorgeFloyd & the #BlackLivesMatter call that we all support to end racism. This is just one small step." |

| #3 They'll punish your kids too for pointing their finger at a classmate and saying bang, bang. It's the world we live in now. Take your kids out of government schools now it's the best thing you could ever do for them. |
