Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

[MrAK]

Guess those two officers just had it coming. You know, for doing their job. They brought it on themselves and now they're dealing with the consequences. [/sarcasm]




Great. If things are as fucked up as some seem to think they are and the government has no fear what's gonna happen when the government does start to fear the people? Pretty sure that's not gonna end well for anyone. I'm also pretty sure I don't really want to be around for that.

I seriously can't believe ANYONE thinks this shit is justified by what's happened.

Just. Fucking. Mind-boggling.

False equivalencies all around.

Fucking mind boggling that people see no problem with what has happened to our LEO across the county, we are policed by individuals who think themselves as hammers and see every problem as a nail. If conservatives write off the complaints of these “mobs”, then you can expect JFK’s words regarding peaceful revolution to come true, and that’s not a day I’d like to see.

But hey, it’s easier to believe the media, think all of this is looting and believe that this is a race issue as coopted by the BLM.

Well you obviously haven't been paying attention to what I've said about this. Big surprise.

There's nothing like jumping into the conversation informed, but hey, you've got all the answers already.

In other news:
Minneapolis mayor says 'white supremacists,' 'out of state instigators' behind protests, but arrests show different story

A USA Today report quoted a security consultant saying intelligence reports indicate many of the more serious protesters are far-left or anarchists, without a significant appearance yet by far-right groups -- while noting locals and outsiders could be involved in conflicts with authorities.

In a tweet posted Saturday, a person who appears to be Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison can be seen with a copy of "Antifa, the Anti-Fascist Handbook."

Last I heard, police departments around the country are constantly hiring from a dwindling pool of people willing to choose LE as a career. If you think you can do better, please apply. Limit the laws being passed that LE are tasked with enforcing? I?m with you there. If your dream is a world without LE, I couldn?t disagree more. Think you can take care of you and your own in the absence of LE? Good for you, not everyone can. Remember the same mobs ready to lynch a cop every time something doesn?t look like something they approve of, will be there ready to lynch you too.

I can’t be a cop no matter what. Four fused vertebrae keep me from a few occupations.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m al for the rule of law, and I’m all for having a good and honorable police force. Unfortunately we have an issue in this country with cops not conducting themselves in an honorable or appropriate manner.

I’d also say that there are some obvious reasons as to why there are less and less people interested in becoming LEO in this country, and I think it’s pretty obvious that with that smaller pool of applicants that we’re getting poorer quality officers.

Where do you think we should draw the line, say enough is enough and that a massive change needs to be made?

I'd love to hear what your solution for massive change is.

[MrAK]

I'd love to hear what your solution for massive change is.

Wouldn’t all freedom loving Americans like to hear a solution for that massive change?

Are you happy with the current culture in our nations LEO or the direction it’s been heading for decades?

If your conclusion is that there's need for massive change, you obviously have it all worked out. Let's hear how you would like to change it.

If you don't have an answer, your just angry and bitching about the status quo. Kind of like the rioters.

I've never backed what these cops did, but you might have missed that skipping 12 pages of comments.
