[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3372821, member: 1132"] That's not exactly a strong point to make when the basis for the unrest is trained officers murdering citizens. Let me draw you a comparison. Protests by white gun owners over Duncan Lemp being murdered in his home by cops have resulted in nothing. Protests by people from all walks of life over Breonna Taylor being murdered in her home by cops have resulted in the firing of that police chief and banning the use of no-knock warrants. In the locales where community policing is embraced, they're doing a much better job of circumventing damage and violence. In the locales where the answer is batons, pepper spray and rubber bullets, they're doing a terrible job. Funny, you treat people like human beings with value and get better results? Whod'a thunk it. On those rubber bullets btw, here's a pic of a peaceful protester who was live streaming when they shot her in the face. If that was your daughter, sister or wife, how would you feel about it? Would you honestly not care? We've had intentional targeting of the press by police, to include shooting them with pepper ball guns and one female journalist permanently lost an eye. That's not nothing. All I'm saying is that the complaints are legitimate and pervasive. Yes rioting and looting are wrong. I hope they catch most if not all of the agitators and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. But they should do the same to officers taking advantage of the situation to hurt people for no reason. Wrong is wrong regardless of what they're wearing and which side they're on. That's worth agreeing on. [ATTACH=full]164327[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
