Define murder for me, helios.That's not what I said. I said ANY instance of the cops murdering black people is enough to warrant protesting them till they clean their act up regardless of wheater or not they were justified in this instance. Nice job totally failing to get the point as usual.
Epic failure
I never claimed it was bad to protest the police. Don't know where you got that from. All figures of authority should be protested. You think people should come out and protest the police when the police are in the right though? Doesn't quite make sense to me. These people were protesting this particular death, not police brutality or wrongful shootings in general. The protest had a main purpose, which is to shame the police for not using kid gloves on a man who shot up his neighbours apartment and remained armed. These protestors are wrongfully making the case that the police were racist in this instance for doing what was necessary to keep the neighbours safe and alive. They want the shooter and other violent criminals to be protected at all costs, and are willing to live with the neighbours being killed as collateral damage, which makes their views and protest here deeply misguided and wrong.
Look, I've advocated for protecting the worst of the worst people. I've advocated for protecting pedophiles in prison. I want to give inmates more comforts. Serial killers? Give them a video game system in their jail cell and free pot to smoke. Give them voting rights. Making people live a torturous life in prison is awful. It may not sound like it often, but I'm absolutely on the side of people with mental illness or people who made mistakes and ended up losing their freedom and got locked away. When you're in a situation where other, innocent lives are at risk, then you don't get to act with kid gloves in that situation. Your responsibility, first and foremost, should be to the innocent bystanders before a shooter.
