That's becoming a sad truth because demonstrating peacefully or demonstrating a show of force without being violent isn't near as effective as have violent riots and protests by Antifa and BLM these past few years.

3% then ???

Yeah Trump shuts all the doors to negotiations about police reform while people die at the hands of cops. So mass people protest these injustices and then as all large groups people take advantage of it to loot and steal. Police reform is necessary. This protesting of covid aid is just a unwillingness to follow basic rules. Not to mention it was the gop that kept blocking aide money to people and wanted to give it to non vulnerable corporations

Absent of Self Defense or the Defence of Others... Is Violence warranted if used for self gain, to exact revenge, or to be popular?

Ask the cops

As a matter of fact I do! Are you a Cop?

Police unions doing all they can to protect crooked cops

No @William Dinan

To protect cops*

Crooked laws @james j

To which question?

Crooked cop

It's not really specifically for crooked cops.

It’s part of what they do

Crooked politicians @james j

Protect cops? Yep.

I’m sure they donte to the homeless also

Does that mean crooked cops? Sometimes!

But they are also crooked cop protecting group

Like the Catholic Church protects pedos

Well we don't know if they're crooked or biased.

They also feed the poor

The crooked politicians in LA? $130,000 8x8 rip off home for the homeless.

And protect pedos

I agree that police unions are almost universally bad.

But I don't have a hyper-partisan opinion about it.

I don't think "ACAB".

Government entities shouldn’t have unions

Does that include teachers?

You're not for teachers unions?

No

@james j damn dude you walked right into that one.

What

Government enforcement

Military etc

Politicians

People with actual power over others

Judges

Schools have become like institutional facilities themselves.

Teachers have power over kids.

Kids are not adults
