"it is since smartphones became commonplace. With just about everyone, including most people living in the ghetto, having video cameras on them 24/7 everywhere they go a number if very questionable, to say the least, police killings have been caught on video and have inflames racial tensions"
You are spot on. What you see now has been happening for decades. The only difference is video starts rolling as soon as something happens. Technology now allows us to follow events in real time.
Indeed. But it wasn't a magical solution. The presence of an armed police officer, someone with a LOT more training than Joe Redneck CCW Gun Nut, did not prevent the mass shooting. Hence you are incorrect that the answer is for everyone to be armed.
Many of us ordinary 'civilians' grew up aiming at things with rifles.
On 42nd and 8th, Manhattan's response? Hand down to the unharmed suspect wading in traffic a nine-count indictment:

lmao please.
We who have real military and police training laugh at such a statement.
US Navy 1999 to 2003. Rank/rate STS3(SS). Served on USS Florida SSBN-728 and USS Asheville SSN-758. Stood armed watches when the boat was in port. Qualified M16A3, M14, M9 and 12 ga pump action shotgun.
Regardless, TEXAS IS NOT A GUN FREE ZONE...so where were your CCW Red Neck Heroes?
If someone can't obey the laws of civilized society, then they don't deserve to be in this society. Period.
It's your right to disagree. Many people don't see their own bias but I don't think this is the case with you. You clearly have a strong stance that not rooted in reality...
But just a few months ago, Obama claimed black lives matter does "outstanding work". Now we see the result of what Obama considers to be outstanding work.
How do you know BLM is behind this? Many people in the march were cooperating with police and have voiced their displeasure over the shootings.
It's an awful area full of liberals, indians (why you think it's called Indian beach?) and BLM folks. Melbourne is known as "little Africa". Please don't visit FL, you could lose your life.
These people are professional, and I feel that if they felt they were in jeopardy they would never be there. I saw a picture of where they are at right now, pretty nice. I know it is not to far from the Cape
They also have very high professions both of them.. These people are anything but liberals. And the people they have met are also not liberals and live there.
