Sounds like you’re dangerously close to drinking the BLM Kool Aid.
I stipulate that we don’t need much of the militarized stuff and that some cops are power tripping, but Many innocent people killed equaled two last year in one statistic I saw.
It’s two too many, but it’s not an epidemic.
I would suggest checking in to the statistic you just quoted. I can come up with 4 just here in Texas off the top of my head and could probably come up with more than a half a dozen to even 10 just here in Texas. Not all Swat but narcotics teams, Swat, and other call outs.
No I’m not even close to BLM in any way shape or form. BLM is a militant socialist group operating under the guise of racism. Unfortunately for those that back legitimate and appropriate policing, modern militarized law enforcement is handing BLM their agenda on a silver platter. The irony is there is a hidden truth in the otherwise phony racist BLM agenda. The truth is Law Enforcement is so far off the rails in their mission it would be easier to toss the whole system and start over. The reality is our once public service peace officers have actually become a standing army creating their own crisis by over use of weaponry and force then using these very crisis to justify even more powerful military capability.
