War consists of two sides fighting each other. This is a massacre. If the police are now prohibited from doing their job then it is up to a civil society to restore justice. “By all means necessary”.

In many areas of the country today, our police officers are actually being trained to be physically brutal, to bark orders at ordinary citizens and to treat everyone around them like dirt. This culture of brutality and oppression filters down from the very top, and so ultimately the root of the problem is at the federal level.

An interesting statement with absolutely no evidence given to back it up. If anything, case law in the last 30 years has driven things in completely the opposite direction. Every use of force is measured against a 4th amendment standard down to every swing of a baton, 5 second activation of a taser, and round fired in a gun fight.

If there is an escalation in violence it is due to the nature of our society, and the lack of respect people have for strangers. This goes for both police and the public at large.
