I wasn't just one day. It is a hypocritical mindset that has been an anchor around the ankles of this nation for decades.

This one is about the worst I've heard of in a long time.

What's the opposition (of the requests to expand it) afraid of?

Politicians inciting violence is not okay. What Trump did was not okay...there are also examples of political figures from the left saying some things that were dangerous as well (i am sure you know what i am referring to, and if not i think it'll be easy to find with a quick google search).

yeah, you’re right

it’s definitely a both-sides-do-it issue

You can expect even more violence coming from the BLM folks. The worst part is, the media will try find a way to justify it.

In hindsight, it probably isn't any more dangerous to the public to let the guy drive off and then go arrest him later vs. firing 14 shots at his car but that's for the "police reform" discussion. Stuff like this simply doesn't need to happen.

it’s much less dangerous, given that they were in a residential area shooting at a moving car

car chases are routinely called off because of the threat of injury to bystanders

seems it’s really only when cops decide to go all GI Joe that people die in these situations

[ousdahl]

Kinda seems like another example of trained cops being allowed to panic while untrained civilians are supposed to keep their cool with a bunch of guns pointed at them.

If you were sitting in your car in front of your house and a bunch of dudes with guns run up and point them at you, can you really say with certainty how you’d react?

(As for me, I’d do a giant sweeping burnout to create a smoke screen before I jump the car off a cliff to escape, Vin Diesel style)

Shocking response. Everything from your "side" is a false equivalence.

Of course you're good with Maxine Waters telling dems to confront republican lawmakers if they see them in public. How'd that turn out?

Or when Senator Tester suggested Trump should be punched in the face?

Or how about Representative Johnson calling on the "soldiers" out there to "make them pay"?

Those don't count right?

Lulz.

Wonder if you'd (not just you, but in general about cops should just let people/criminals*? go if they try to get away) feel the same way if they let him speed off and in his attempt to flee the officers he ran a stop sign and hit your kids walking home from school and killed them?

But i am with you, there has to be a better way. All those cops and he still had a chance to drive off? Block his ass in or at least have a plan. Sometimes i think they just run up on them with no gameplan.

My brother in law is ATF. He said when they do raids they have a gameplan. They know who is supposed to do what and go into with a detailed plan of attack.

Not trying to excuse that kind of rhetoric, but did any of that rhetoric incite any actual violence?

You can't be serious...

How do you anti cop people feel about black cops? Are they racist? Trigger happy hoping for people to flee so they can shoot them? Hunting black people?

Totally serious.

Are you cherry picking some random dumb sound bites and trying to equate that to what Trump and the magaheads did to the Capitol?

That is one of the most obvious reasons why the systemic racism narrative is a narrative and not reality.
