Why even protest against the police peacefully or otherwise, when the reason (ie non - indictment ) had absolutely nothing to do with the police?You can on and on about how de Blasio may have fucked up, but the reason two cops are dead is that some cops fucked up.
Standing up for a vigilante and blaming the cops, it's rhetoric crap like that which adds fuel to the fire. Its precisely this kind of attitude, as well as actions that demonstrate a lack of respect for property, which diminishes any earned respect towards the demonstrators' cause. How about a voice speaking out for a peaceful protest while condemning the violence and looting, instead of finding ways to condone such behavior?
I am a voice for speaking out for a peaceful protest while condemning the violence and looting. Would you like a list of well known people who are as well? Sure you would.
President Obama
Vice President Biden
Attorney General Holder
Mayor de Blasio
Al Sharpton
Eric Garner's family
Now....I know that you are a person of unquestionable integrity and will now shower these people with praise. I'll look forward to that.
If you were speaking of a peaceful protest, you would have been more careful in your choice of words and clearly condemned the violent killing of two dead cops outright in your previous post. Rather your response leans more towards finding ways to "justify" the violence.
No it doesn't. I clearly condemned the violence and looting by protesters. The lunatic who killed the two cops wasn't a protester and tying him to the protests is disingenuous. Still...his action has, rightfully, been vigorously condemned by everyone on my list....including me.
You are reaching now. When will you praise those of us who stand for peaceful protest while condemning violence and looting? I'm sure you will...given your well known reputation for integrity.
