Pro-police forces WANT mayhem. It makes people watching on TV afraid of the protests, and it changes the subject away from the widespread peaceful opposition to racist police violence.

People on HN seem to have a cartoon villain view of police, so I thought I'd share a few faces of police leadership in effected communities.
What could possibly give people that impression?

That's what I responded to. I'm curious if you truly think the people that I listed want to see their home towns on fire.
When given a choice to protect murderous cops or prevent a fire, they chose to protect the murderous cops. All the cops have to do is go to jail, get a court date, post bail and sit at home. Why can't a cop that murdered someone be that inconvenienced?
