How quickly some forget !!! I think what the protest is about is when police officers do their job poorly they're treated like anyone else. That said, I will always support police, they should be respected. Edited September 12, 2020 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And this should be a very useful thread) It's good for people to remember what you say. This stuff isn't revolutionary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quickly some forget !!! Certainly, it’s not all police that are the problem. But some seek these positions of authority for the wrong reasons. Look at what the three officers involved in Elijah McClain’s death did at his memorial site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyDavisEyes Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 That’s a good job by the players. Some very enlightened quotes in there... Allen and Addison nailed it in particular. It’s time to come together and understand each other and love each other. Love these guys we got in Red White and Blue these days. Proud. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 sorry, im not into this anti-cop stuff. my friend, a cop, chased an armed robber. he chose not to shoot him. the robber shot him above his vest and it hit his clavicle and ricocheted into his heart and he died. he had a quick decision to make and it cost him his life. he is never coming back, his daughter is growing up without a father. bad cops should be taken off the force but the majority arent bad at all. they have a tough job and have to make decisions quickly. 7 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the decision making that is the crux of the problem. Something needs to change to better prepare police for assessing situations. You mentioned an armed suspect, how many of these cases getting publicity were unarmed black men? The training for law enforcement is lacking severely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I knew someone who was a racist, but he saw "black lives matter," on a helmet, and that totally changed his mind. Also, I knew an inner city kid in poverty, and that "black lives matter" sticker instantly helped him. It also stopped domestic abusers from running from the police and reaching for knives in their car. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
