Why would it get tossed?

Stupidity seems to be running rampant so it wouldn't surprise me

Wasn't it just Darnold and Kyle Allen?

Cops doing their jobs well doesn't make for a good story.

The number I saw was roughly 18,000.

The big man won't be stopped.

Has Fromm been released and arrested yet?

I'm not deflecting. It seems you think the issue here is police brutality and accountability, and sure it's part of it. The main point of these protests though is about race. It always is when a white cop kills a black person. I've yet to see BLM protest anything that wasn't. We can put the race part aside and talk about what it seems like you think the issue is. How do we solve the accountability issue, assuming there is one? Who determines which force is excessive or unecessary?

53% of all murders in the US are committed by black people or 13% of the polulation. The majority of murders in this country are committed by black men or roughly 6% of the polulation The overwhelming majority of black murder victims are killed by other black people. Make no mistake, police brutality is wrong and they need to be held accountable but black people are targeting and victimizing black peoples far more than police. How many police departments have tanks and what did they cost? Less police officers means more overworked police officers which leads to stress and morale problems. How does that benefit the public again? Im all for more and better training but it takes money to do that.

This isn't just about police brutity, police violence or even police accountability. This is about black people and some fake narrative. 55% of the people killed by police are white and 27% are black. Cops are 18 times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around. BLM is such a joke of a movement and it's a shame that the people with the biggest platforms are using it to push some nonsense. People want police reform including better and more training but also want to defund the police. You can't have both.

Can't imagine he's gotten any better since he's been out of the league

You’re being extremely naive if you think this is just about police brutality and not about race.

Here’s my beef, people seem to care much more about black lives when they are taken by white cops. Everyone knows who George Floyd is, do these same people know who someone like David Dorn is? People get outraged when a white cop kills a black man but stay silent and don’t shed a tear at all the black on black death and violence happening around them on a daily basis. Does anyone want to be outraged at the 90 shootings and 30 deaths that occurred in Chicago last weekend? Do those black lives not matter as much? You want people to believe your message and invoke real change? Be consistent about it and don’t cherry pick who matters.

The bail reform took effect the beginning of this year and it’s somewhat false to say that people don’t need to post bail after being arrested. It’s entirely dependent on the crime in which a person is charged with. So you think there should have been more of a uniformed police presence similar to what we’ve seen during the protests that included riots and looting? Do I have that right?

Where did I make this assumption? How is it a privilege to suggest having police ready and equipped to deal with rioters and looters?

No, you didn’t. Still tip toeing. I’d like you to specifically explain what you mean by “my privilege has privilege”.

Except that’s not what I said. My justification for police use of force was clearly in reference to the rioters and looters and not the peaceful protesters. I see you’re going to continue to try and tip toe around your assertion that “my privilege has privilege”.

I agree with this. Clearly I did need to ask and I’ll do it again in the hopes that you can clarify it for me. What privilege are you referring to?

So it would seem

And the police didn’t have a problem with the peaceful protest. Their objective was to enforce the curfew.

That’s how you interpreted what I said? Yikes And what privilege are you referring to exactly?

I don’t know I wasn’t there.

Only if you reasonably believe these people are going to loot the local Target or try and set fire to city hall.

I don’t know that. Maybe you’re right.

How many times does someone who clearly has an agenda against the police need to be told to get back? I have no problem with police accountability. Suspend the cops pending a review/investigation. But to charge them with Assault is a joke and was only done to cater to the mob of people outraged.
