Often here we're put on the defensive, such as when there's a mass shooting in this country, particularly with an unfriendly administration. They know all the answers - if we want gun violence to end, we need to eliminate guns (at least from law abiding citizens). If cops don't want to get shot in cold blood, perhaps they shouldn't shoot blacks in cold blood (he didn't exactly say that, but the message seems to be something like that). And the list goes on.
So how about if we help. Let's list out a few 'suggestions' for the president to calm things down. If he does want that outcome, perhaps he'll use some of them. Let's keep it from being nasty, so don't say useless stuff like "maybe he should go back to Kenya" (for example), as it just makes our side look silly and pathetic.
So I'll start off:
1) Clearly state that killing cops in cold blood is NEVER acceptable, regardless of whatever perceived wrongs may have been committed.
2) Explain to them that we have at least two means to prosecute bad cops - the state and local levels, and the federal level (arguably double jeopardy, but that's for another debate). If a wrong is committed by a cop, it will get investigated and given our dual systems, it will not be covered up.
3) Learn to allow an investigation and accept the results of any investigation - in the vast majority of times, cop killings are justified, given the circumstances and the immediate threat. We live in a country of laws, not a country where cold-blooded killings are acceptable (either of cops, or of blacks), regardless of the perceived injustice.
4) No longer support any part of Black Lives Matter until they both denounce, without qualification, the killings of cops, and agree to report anyone plotting such to the FBI.
5) Infiltrate Black Lives Matter and other hate groups to identify the people calling for violence and arrest and prosecute them. Only end the infiltrations after the killings stop for a certain amount of time, maybe 3 months - or until the groups disband.
6) Tell Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets that shutting down hate sites that call for the killings of cops is acceptable - it is not racist. In the United States, calling for the killings of cops is equivalent to calling for the assassination of the president, it is simply not acceptable, regardless of how angry one may be at the person (or persons).
7) Not comment on any police-involved violence (beatings, shootings, killings, etc.) regardless of how unjust it may appear. Support investigations of the incidents, federal investigations if warranted, but no more commenting on the events. There will always be cop killings of whites, Hispanics, and yes, blacks. These matters should only be looked at by impartial professionals.
8) No longer accept rioting or breaking of laws during a protest. If people block a highway, that is not acceptable. If they get a permit to march, and abide by the terms of that march, that is fine. If they feel a need to riot to get their point across, or otherwise block commerce, that is simply not acceptable and people will be arrested and prosecuted.
9) No more kid-gloves for those arrested. If people throw rocks at cops, they will be prosecuted in accordance with their crimes. If adults, that may well mean 10 years of hard time. People need to think very hard before attacking police.
10) Prosecute people that finance violent organizations. For example, if George Soros is funding groups that are calling for violence against cops - then Mr. Soros needs to be held accountable, and possibly jailed, now that cops are dying because of him.
Those are my first 10 ideas. Feel free to add to it, but again, let's keep it clean and constructive.
Have at it!

“Worthless post, worthless request.”
I agree that Buckwheat needs a good hard backhand, but I also agree that it’s a worthless post here. Just like all those “internet petitions” that are forever floating around, what are the chances he will see or even hear of this? I’d venture to guess at most zero, maybe a little less.
