The man arrested by police in Lubbock, Texas, after he brandished a semi-automatic rifle in front of a George Floyd protest posted a threat on Facebook saying he wanted to “off racists and MAGA people,” officials stated. He allegedly shouted, “President Trump must die” and “this is a revolution” as authorities took him into custody.

Lubbock police officers arrested 25-year-old Emmanuel Quinones on Saturday after he was captured on video purportedly brandishing a loaded Smith & Wesson .223 semi-automatic rifle in front of protesters, KCBD NBC11 reported. The protesters were standing in support of George Floyd, the black man killed by Minneapolis police in May.

The suspect refused to drop his rifle until a Lubbock police officer drew his sidearm. In the video, a bystander is seen tackling the suspect and others from the protest assisted an officer who appeared to have been injured in the arrest, Breitbart Texas reported.

I'm not a gun hobbyist, but was I the first to notice something the NBC station did not say? Two letters, a hyphen, and two numbers?

AR-15

When a dog doesn't bark it means something. IMO, the NBC station didn't want to associate the bogey-gun with a Hispanic ("Quiñones" is probably more accurate) dude hating on Trump supporters.

Excellent find.  The MSM has manipulated the media so masterfully now that getting any type of honest news in the traditional ways is impossible.  Today, had absolutley fantastic news on the jobs report, and the MSM made it still sound like a disaster in the making.  The MSM has a left directed scripted narrative, and they are playing that part perfectly.

In the context of this thread....  Think about it, a thug with 6 felony counts, resisting arrest, and under drugs is about to be cannonized. While 3 or 4 cops have died trying to protect the peace from his disciples.  Bizarre and irony first cone to mind,   but I'll think I will stick with the word "pathetic" as the most apt desciription.

Any other time, the news media would call it an assault weapon or, at the very least, an automatic.
