At least not from me.

I am probably one of the most critical peeps on DU of the police abusing citizens, but I have
never promoted the idea of perpetrating violence towards cops. In fact, I am a proponent of
NON-violent resistance and protests to shed light on police corruption and over-reach. Not
only that, but I also detest these brazen attacks on cops because it will undoubtedly be used
to justify MORE police brutality and murders of innocent people on the streets of USE simply
because the cops "feared for their lives".

So I don't know who on DU you are accusing of advocating violence towards cops. Can you
provide a link to such a comment?
