If you join yourself to any organization, faith, affiliation or otherwise, you have to be held responsible for the consequences of being a part of that organization or affiliation. If I joined the Mafia, I would be held responsible for what that entailed and these police are no different.

What would be enough guns? 500,000,000? 1 billion? 2 billion? 3 billion? I can never get a good answer from the gun worshipers. It's always "TYRANNY, COMMIE, FASCIST". Bullshit selfish tirades because a gun's life is more important than a humans.
Communists are actually very pro-gun, despite right-winger claims. Mao Zedong himself said that change comes through the barrel of the gun. Of course, this isn't about communism but common sense gun legislation. The United States is the largest arms dealer in the world and has more gun deaths combined than deaths in all of the wars it's fought.
We need some common sense reforms, that much is obvious.
Oh fuck off MYGleon BOTH of the black guys shot in national news, THEIR family members all said what happened in Dallas was NOT justified.
I am sick of this shit. It is possible to be against police abuse and also advocate non violence at the same time. Violence begets violence and revenge is bullshit, it solves nothing.
YES racism, be it intentional or unintentional by law enforcement DOES exist.
I am going to scream this over and over if I have to.
Our problem is that WHITE PEOPLE DO NOT LISTEN, lots do, but many don't. The ones that don't listen or flat out racist, or simply unintentionally tone deaf because they hide behind "I'm not a bigot myself", the same dodge moderate and liberal Muslims hide behind "Most dont" which is not the point. It only takes just enough of a big enough MINORITY that cause problems that the majority does not confront.
THE OTHER problem is our flooded gun market. The morons who are blind to that RIGHTFULLY want police to be safe, I AGREE, they should be. But when all you do pump guns out like candy, those same police we want to get home safely at night, have to fear every traffic stop as that person being a potential danger.
How about we should ALL want police and blacks and whites to all make it home safely at night? How about we ACCEPT that blacks ARE hurt worse by the economy and justice system. How about we also accept that we SHOULD NOT be scaring cops into using guns as a default, and also teach society to KNOW that the odds are they are more likely to hurt themselves or someone in the home before protecting themselves from a stranger or active shooter.
NO those cops did not deserve it anymore than those two black guys. WE simply have one fucking party and one industry lobby scaring the crap out of police and whites and blacks for no other reason than to protect the profits of gun factories.
AND NO NO NO NO NO,............ Anyone responding to this with "COMMIE, FASCIST, TYRANNY" can go fuck themselves.
I am simply sick of the violence, I am sick of the gun death, I don't care who is doing what to who. I care about black lives, I care that we ignore race is an issue with police interactions. BUT MORE GUNS is not the fucking solution.
