Quote:While the Anchorman and JIB are perfectly capable of explaining their points of view, please allow me an aerial view:

 

The Anchorman sees soldiers opposing civilians on American soil, and it elicits a strong emotional response.

 

JIB sees policemen in protective clothing doing their difficult task, and it elicits an analytical response.

 

I can't say either is "wrong" except to say that if my son were part of a team trying to quell a riot, I'd want him protected very well.

I can't imagine what it would be like to send my son out to do this. We need to do something to deescalate the violence. Pointing fingers isn't getting things done. The ironic thing in the Dallas shooting is that they actually enacted a program the last couple years to reduce police abuse and they decreased use of force complaints by 64% since 2009. The one town that was getting it right is the one that is hit. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/dallas-...rs-n606076
