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
To protect cops*
To which question?
Crooked cop
It's not really specifically for crooked cops.
It’s part of what they do
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.
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
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
Point-by-Point; Police reform is not the duty of Federal Government. You wanna bitch about doors getting shut, look to local and state level representatives. Also, nowhere near as many people as have been portrayed by media have died by cops, and although I'm not a fan of the immunity cops have when "in the line of duty", a large amount of those incidents were found to be justified.
Next; Yes large protests can be or have been hijacked by certain elements that are out to do bad things. You can pick out those groups in the protests where it happens. However, when you "protest" and the intent immediately turns into vandalizing, burning, damaging, and destroying other's personal property (think Kenosha), there is no excuse nor is there certain elements hijacking the protest.
Last; What Covid rules? As far as constitutions are concerned, these mandates and edicts are unconstitutional and unenforceable. People not following said "basic rules" are well within their right to not follow them as they aren't legitimate. And the GOP blocking aid money? Have you read what was in those aid packages? So much garbage that had nothing to do with actually providing aid to people affected by Covid.
