This is why uneducated, ultra liberal antifa recruits like Western92 are so deluded that they cannot comprehend the concept of what Law Enforcement entails. A situation where the car was blocking others turned out to go go from mild to wild very quickly.

But in true to form, the protests, looting and rioting proves the cops were already guilty before a proper shooting investigation/use of force investigation can take place. This country is in a sad state of affairs.

I personally am not going to point names or accuse anyone as to some decree I understand what they are saying but I personally respectfully disagree that our police should be replaced with social workers under conditions. I would be terrified of dialing 911 in a situation that could potentially escalate while the criminal (knowingly) knew the first person to arrive would be a peace mediator - dismissing them (or worse) only to have the situation you were in become extremely volatile afterward while now having to wait on a REAL cop.

I just don't think law enforcement is as clear cut and black and white as to determine when a social worker should go out vs a cop. I personally would rather someone who is prepared to handle things in the event things go south. I also think defunding the police is a terrible idea.. ..no offense to anyone.. but I can't forsee anything good coming out of that.

I don't mind things changing, but anything that may 'weaken' the police vs 'training' the police - I'm opposed to.
