re: Florida Black Panther leader gets robbed by black teen. Calls Police

I don't understand why calling the police is some big "gotcha" moment for some of these protesters.

People of all walks of life say they hate the government and what not, yet they use the roads and other services provided all the time. I'm not sure why protesting some of the actions of the police means you can no longer call them in an emergency.

**Now, if this guy said all the police are bad or something along those lines, it would be different.

With all that has been going on and the Black Panthers being known as being somewhat militant and taking a more aggressive approach to the protest, its just the idea that someone from a group that is taking a more aggressive approach to protesting police because they feel the police treat blacks different, was robbed by a black person and had to receive help from police to get his stuff back.

Didn't he say he has a different view of police now? (or something to that nature?). When people say "I hate the government", there are so many different levels of government and they are usually referring to the bureaucracy or the things tax dollars are used for.

When the government uses tax dollars to fund road construction and other services, they are using the people's money to serve the people, which they are suppose to do. When the government, which is elected and funded by the people, does not do what they are suppose to, then people will complain about the government, you are comparing apples to oranges.
