The most frustrating thing about the BLM movement is that it completely torpedoed a very real and widespread rebuttal of police militarization.

I watched a cop shoot a guy dead in the hallway of a hotel for trying to follow his contradictory orders, and that's the same issue that's at the heart of the Floyd situation IMO.

Getting paid $40k per year to deal with the generic lowlifes while playing with your guns attracts some pretty shitty people.

When done correctly they are very effective, i.e. the Civil Rights marches, lunch counter sit-ins, bus protest. Those protest changed America and the leaders are respected men and women.

The protest today are spitting in the face of the hard work the people of the past did

If you want change get involved with your local city government

This x1000. People rely entirely too much on the federal government to make blanket policy for every department in the country. There are too many cities and towns that have their own needs in regards to law enforcement. If you want to see a real police state, give total control of the local law enforcement to the president, regardless if he’s a D or R.

Why can’t someone tell em just don’t do illegal shite and comply with law enforcement if asked to do so? For some reason cops don’t seem to kill non criminals who abide by their orders.

This. I wasn’t the model citizen in college and did a lot of stupid shite. I was in altercations with cops that sometimes resulted in falsified police reports, unjustly getting my head slammed into the car door, and adding trumped up charges to some transgressions.

But here’s the deal - 1) not once did I resist arrest and just kept on doing what they said and didn’t make a scene because I knew (even in my usual altered state) that it would only lead to a worse situation and 2) not one time during any of these, no matter how little I felt I did to deserve the police getting involved, was I truly completely in the right. In EVERY case, had I been not drinking or doing something stupid (even if technically legal), I wouldn’t have been in that situation to start with. It was on me 100%. It took me a few years to get that through my head but once I did, man did it make my life quite a bit better.

More blacks are killed by blacks in Chicago every month than are killed by cops in a year.

Where is the outrage and protests for that?

yes.

that the short answer.
