How much more crap do you think we are going to take? DC is nuts right now..
Maybe this shooting will keep the rioters home.. stop looting!
Democrat mayors do your job and they won’t open fire on your welfare babies
Does shooting peaceful protestors make you happy?
There is no such thing as peaceful protesters anymore it seems. If you’re bitten by dogs over and over again and a dog runs at you, will you assume it’s friendly and not defend yourself? If a protest came to my door, I would not assume it will be peaceful. The Leftists have themselves to blame for it.
I don’t agree, there have been hundreds and hundreds of protests, but media concentrates on the few that turn violent.
Actually the media makes excuses like they do for CHOP. We see what we want to see I guess? Tearing down statues and spray painting monuments is not peaceful in my book.
No those acts are not peaceful, but also not what I am referring to.
Every peaceful protest also assumes white people are racist and silence is violence. We cannot have a true awakening if we aren’t going to be honest with one another.
I don’t think everyone of them does...and it really doesn’t matter. As long as they aren’t destroying things or killing people, they have the right to believe what they want and that applies to anyone.
I do see your point. So...the question what is going to get us to the important conversations we need to be having? These protests are the result of one killing too many, on top of several other recent high profile killings and it has opened up a Pandora’s box of anger, grievances, injustices that have never been adequately addressed.
I pity the good police who are getting the unfiltered brunt of this, and city officials who have to walk a fine line between public order and civil rights, and between giving angry masses enough space to blow off steam, preventing worse violence and preserving public order. No easy task.
I think what we are seeing now is, at least publically, a lot of knee jerk hasty reactions to all this, but hopefully beneath it are the conversations we need to be having. I also think the fact that this happening in the midst of a pandemic, lockdowns, economic problems and a bitterly divided political climate doesn’t help.
