(4,072 posts)It's getting so ridiculous that I think these people would defend a person who actually shot at police and complain the police fired back killing him/her. In fact I think an incident like that already happened in Ferguson, and the defense was "well the cops shouldn't have been in an unmarked car". As if shooting at the vehicle is at all excusable.
The idea of highlighting ingrained law enforcement double standards and mistreatment of African Americans is worth doing.
But like many movements, this one is spinning out of control and into territory that does more harm than good.
Even making the above statements is considered unspeakable by some.
If you go into a store and steal or rob from it, get caught by police and pull a knife, bat, gun or anything else, expect to be shot down - and with good reason.
