Alright this is nonsense.

Only a tiny, miniscule percentage of police are criminals. They are by far amazing people who protect us.

The protesters are largely the violent ones, burning cars and destroying property, empowered by paid professionals and criminals like ANTIFA (which coincidentally are fascists themselves).

Let a court and jury judge based on a complete set of evidence, rather than the edited video clips being collected. From what I've seen, the entire videos of what these protesters do oaint a different picture.

And why is news like this even allowed on HN? Its what gets fights and trolling started.

As can be seen in the current protests, it is overwhelmingly the police that is the source of real violence. Killing or hurting even one person is incomparably worse than smashing a few cars or breaking some windows.

And the justice system has also been very visibly complicit with police brutality, almost universally excusing the actions of murderers when those murderers were policemen and women 'doing their duty'. In basically all of the high profile police murders that have rocked the nation, the murderers got away with it so far. So trust in the system is justifiably at an all time low.
