Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

Were they acting that way before the police showed up? Showing up in riot gear in and of itself makes protestors more strident.



So, you think robbers who run from the police deserve to die? Or, that they aren't martyrs because they were not a part of a protest themselves?

Utah governor declares state of emergency during protests over ruling that fatal police shooting was justified | CNN

The governor of Utah has declared a state of emergency in response to protests in Salt Lake City.

Yeah, dude. The mob was pissed after the ruling and started doing unreasonable things like disrupting traffic and breaking windows and tagging public buildings.

I've already posted about how I feel about the kid getting shot. Do I think he deserved to die? No. Do I think his shooting was justified by law? Yes.

He did some really ****** things, put people in harm's way, and put the cops in a ****** situation where they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

There's zero reason anyone should terrorize the public with a gun. He was the bad guy with the gun. Anyone that tries to rob anyone with a gun by threat of violence is a pos.

This kid is being treated like an innocent person rather than a violent, criminal with a gun.

Maybe compliance, since you know, that's how society works. Very often it's failure to comply that sets all this **** up in the first place.

Are you saying that when police show up in riot gear that means they deserve to be attacked, and at that point but not before it is perfectly acceptable to destroy property?

Keep in mind that the context of the current protests is largely concerned with police brutality, and the police are showing up with gear designed to assist them in dealing with people in a forceful way. That's very different than policing protests of Wall Street or the Democratic National Convention. While "deserve" is a strong word, at the very least showing up in riot gear is tone-deaf and escalative.

Yes. It was because they started rioting and being increasingly violent that the police showed up in riot gear.

Do you know that because you looked at pictures of the protest before anyone was there in riot gear, or are you just assuming?

Protest that does not disrupt gets ignored, so I don't find disrupting traffic spray-painting buildings to be unreasonable. To my understanding, the breaking of windows and pepper-spraying of police happened after the mob showed up in riot gear.

Other countries manage to capture low-threat offenders without shooting them.

They were protesting a dude who robbed and terrorized people at gun point.

It makes zero sense other than it being a fad of the younger generation. The protesters look like they're 90% under 25 and think they're so woke.

There was someone on the news crying and saying how the kid was running because he was afraid of the cops. Oh, poor tough guy with a gun who just robbed people, how dare the police show up with guns.

I'm not saying I think the kid should have been killed, cause I don't think that or want that about anyone. The shooting was justified and chanting no justice, no peace moronic in this incident or no?

I wonder what the victims of the robbery feel? Maybe peace knowing this kid can't hold up anyone else with a gun and see justice in that? Wouldn't it be ironic.

If you wanna support either mobs or protesters who dilute actual police brutality than that's your prerogative.

I saw something on Twitter yesterday about an Austin police officer being accused of sexual assaulting someone he arrested. Then I read the police report of the Austin police that highlighted he did the arrested 100% by the book and watched the video. People are just mad that rights get violated when you break the law.


Stop breaking the law, assholes.

I saw pictures and news footage. Riot gear did not appear until, you know, rioting began.

I think you mean peaceful protests. A couple people throwing things is not a riot. For all we know they were Trump Supporters.

Riot gear needs to go. Its an oppress symbol of white supremacy.
