Also I am not saying you TGO are for or against my quote and not trying to misrepresent you in any way I was just noting the similarities in the situations
Right, it's the citizens who are escalating the violence.
When are you all going to stop downplaying the police brutality and take it seriously? How many more people need to be injured or killed before you realize these officers aren't acting in good faith who care about lawful detainment? These people don't give a single shit about minorities, I bet half of them don't even remember the last minority victim. They are totalitarians who just want to harm people and destroy things, and you're all too happy to ignore their violence. Why is that? Why are you ignoring this violence? Don't tell me you're not, stop with the excuses. Why are you ignoring this violence and pinning the blame on citizens and minorities?
Also it should be understood that police brutality is not a Trump specific problem. It has certainly bubbled to its climax while Trump has been president and there could be some cause/effect from him being the president but this is decades of rise and fall of police brutality that has needed reform. I am not a Trump supporter and he has not done himself any favors during all of this IMO but he also is not sole cause of police brutality.
