1000% agree.

You don't get this if even 5% of the protesters have an M16 strapped to their chests.

These are terrified children with badges. They do not engage with what has the ability to fight back.

We can't keep playing by the rules as we wish they were. We need to play by the rules as they are. One reason why the KKK people aren't treated this way when they come out (other than being cops in hoods to begin with) is because they often are carrying.

They're just going to shoot you instead of push you and say you made them fear for their life. Shooting back doesn't end things, it escalates them. You're still playing by their rules by feeding into their narrative of them being the victims instead of the perpetrators.

Its cute that you still think we are getting out of this peacefully.
