Society has gone off the rails as far as I am concerned. The Lefts governance of "said society" is DOA! Makes no difference if the Left likes it or not, most people in this country can not wait to get rid of them. Defunding police, etc, has broken their political backs, and it is self inflicted.
All of these people who died recently from both sides of the aisle, had no damn idea their country would devolve into this. It was never about the right or wrong side of the law, but rather the gray areas that kept changing, depending upon who was in office.
You would THINK, that both Left and Right would want paid professionals on the scene, so that regular citizens did NOT have to defend their own homes and businesses. It then falls on the police to make the call. But when you legislatively REMOVE them, you end up with what we have.
Far Leftists MIGHT be able to convince police not to shoot them, but they can not, nor WILL they convince a home owner, or business owner, not to shoot!
If I was I was a Leftist, I would want as many police on the any scene of rioting as possible, because you MIGHT be able to cower them, but when you face an armed populace with no police protection defending their homes, businesses, and family, the odds are.........you are going to get fired upon! Add to that, when you have a jury pool to choose from that are going through the same thing, the odds of you getting your way are zero, to none!
And Leftists, that is NOT racism, that is logic! Something you might consider using.
