re: Protestors and the Silent Majority - we have been doing this wrong, look at the numbers

Probably both, but that doesn't change that the police / criminal justice system isn't working and needs major overall. See failed war on drugs, for profit prisons, our prison population relative to other countries, etc. Plus police reform is actually something you can implement.

We are wasting so much money and seeing no kind of positive results. Certainly not the only areas we need reform either. Don't mind the protests if they are able to get some needed reforms - definitely not a fan of the violence that has come along with it though.

I'm not protesting but we do need major police reform

Maybe some communities just need major culture reform

While this might be true, you can't really say that then also use the fact that more white people are killed by cops each year than black people.

Fact is there needs to be police reform, but this is not a race issue. And the fact that these protests only happen after a black person is killed shows that this is purely political garbage.
