Okay so going forward whenever I call out the violent rioters you're going to stop saying "But not all!" or "But the police!" or "Look at these peaceful protesters!"

That was easy.

If you stop holding them up in obvious and constant inference that all protesters are violent rioters, then sure.

You're right... that was easy.

Speaking of rioters, last night they put a police officer's hat on a severed pig head and placed the pig head on top of an American flag and set both on fire, which can be seen as a direct threat to police officers.

Bad people. Bad bad bad people. Peaceful protesters did not do this.

No shit -- bad, bad, bad people also teargassed and beat down large groups of non-violent protesters (as differentiated from violent or those inciting violence) without provocation, repeatedly.

Both are escalation tactics, not de-escalation tactics -- the difference is that one was committed en masse as per (presumably) authorized instruction, while the other was likely committed by a fringe minority.

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -- All of the protests have been a strain on police. Most have been stoic on the front lines, but some are opening up about the strain.

They’ve been hit with frozen water bottles, rocks, and even pig heads.

Officers have been screamed at on the front lines for days and it’s something the FOP has addressed with KCTV5, saying that obviously this kind of strain and stress affects you.

And, this will need to be addressed.

Yes, I can't imagine how the constant threat of harassment or murder because of a certain color would be stressful for anyone.

I'm saying that monolithic organizations like law enforcement aren't comparable to a loose coalition of protesters

And this is why you're Triple D.

According to who... you? We already covered this.

I stated that law enforcement is not comparable to a coalition of protesters -- one has the weight of the law behind them and one does not, feel free to demonstrate where I'm wrong.
