So a shadowy group used the protest as a cover for their police assassinations. We really must allow some of the smoke to clear before laying the responsibility on one group or another.
It isn't "crazy" it was very predictable. The anti-cop thing is huge and we all knew this was going to happen at some point, but didn't know where or when. This will be the norm now. Get used to it. People are anti cop, so there is a movement. Better be careful what you are wishing for. Thug nation taking over? Um, I think it is time to move out of cities for sure. Hope it doesn't happen in my town, but probably will in the next year or two. Violence is escalating quite a bit and people seem to be anti cop. Perfect storm for cop killing.
We are headed for a very military style police force at some point. People won't go for this crap.
My thoughts are with those families in Dallas that lost their family members. I have been around grieving police families. Things will change from this. People will start realizing the problem is the criminals and not the cops!
Well said.
As for your last line, I agree, the vast majority of police are good people. They do their job well and want to get home alive to their families in one piece. But you have to realize somehow in our nation, up is down and right is left and there are agendas/groups of people that what to convince you we live in a world of no gray and certain groups are 100% vilified as THE problem. Unfortunately in this case, it's the police that took the brunt and sadly people lost their lives for no valid reason other than doing their job. It's all getting very, very ugly when people are this brazen to do such a thing.
Not the point. BLM has radicalized many of its members.
Of course but you missed MY point which was that this was a peaceful protest led by local pastors and rabbis and that until the shots were fired, there was NO violence going on.
I wonder if all these people they have arrested are really the right people?
