That’s where I’ll disagree with you. I don’t condone out of control groups of people, but I’ve seen them settled down even if there was yelling and screaming without the cops losing their control of themselves or making a situation worse. Even when maybe the crowds didn’t deserve such swell treatment. I’ve seen cops be reasonable humans in the face of stress.
I’ve also seen police officers overstep and pepperspray people who weren’t resisting, there was Kent State, there have been cops who do more damage than good. And we don’t need to have a martial police state to control the people we do have, “feral” or otherwise.
Well how do you control a herd of animals without rough tactics? It all comes down to that. Look at Balt, Chitown, South Central, Philly and any number of like areas. Words don’t work when you have people that are trained by the liberal Pavlovs to go feral whenever ‘dissed’ (when ‘dis’ = giving a legal command to mellow their asses out).
It’s all well and feel-good to want to anthropomorphize feral humans and pretend they are just like normal people. They are not. Thats why they are feral. They do not see good and evil, right and wrong as you or I do. It is a case of category error to believe otherwise.
No one likes thinking about it and the words are ugly. But they are true words. And shying away from admitting the problem is why it grows worse. It doesn’t matter if that feral is midnight black or Lilly white. You don’t don kid gloves or bring them to poetry recitals. You treat them according to their actions. When you have a body of evedence pointing to them being a danger to themselves, to you and to the neighborhood, you don’t go through an escalating 12 step program of increasing force. You gain immediate compliance before THEY go from zero to 1000 and burn another city down while you (the cop) contemplate white privlege and cultural differences.
Not too long ago I thought like you do. There was a place for that method. It is not ‘wrong’. Just wrong right now. Maybe once we get control of America back, there will be for it again. But not until.
You’re dead wrong re Kent State !
Cops didn’t “get out of hand”/over react there at all! It began with an “infitada” of rock, bottle, and Molitov Cocktail throwing at the National Guard young men.
And that was an “ALINSKY”/MARXIST( RED DIAPER BABY SDS planned and led) induced and led by OUTSIDERS free for all!
