Quote:I would say telling media to stay out of harms way isn't a bad thing?


There are two sides to every story, but there are stories now coming out that there are multiple witnesses that corroborate the cops story and that the cop had an orbital fracture to his eye. If this is all true, the violence and looting seems pretty unjustified....no? Eric/JFC, care to chime in on that?


Also, if I were a cop and there were people promoting violence, I would put on any type of gear that would protect me and carry the biggest gun possible.

I've never suggested the rioting is justified even if the cop shot brown in cold blood. I've discussed at length what leads to these boil overs, and pointed there has been in the past police brutality in minority communities.


Somehow if you acknowledge police brutality is a reality your a cop hater and must have been caught doing something illegal, that's a pretty broad assumption.


For the record I've never been arrested or had problems with police heck I'm friends with good number of police doesn't change my belief that the militarization is a problem creating more problems.


Accusing people that acknowledge police brutality as cop haters is like accusing prolife groups of hating women, it's demonized the oposition to avoid the topic.
