It has been terrifying and astounding to see the police response to protests against brutality with... more brutality.

Versus what though? Outnumbered 25:1, rampant looting and mayhem all around, and seeing your mates hit with bottles of water filled with quikcrete, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.

Just because something makes you feel bad for society doesn’t mean the actions at an individual basis are purely malicious or unreasonable.

How does looting six blocks away justify firing tear gas at crowds of peaceful protesters?

Not only that, they should hold themselves to a higher standard, they have training for this type of situations and am sure exerting violence is not a point on a slide. In addition they are theoretically being paid by the protesters as well. There is a problem with the police culture in general that the op you’re respinding to seems to be blind to. There is weird tendency to militarize the police which I hope will start changing soon

How many cops does it take to realize that their bullying would eventually backfire? How many judges doesn it take to realize that killer cops getting scott free is going to eventually backfire badly? I hope that they learn their lesson this time and hope it’s going to sting badly
