Again, it's no secret the wide spread and escalating distrust for law enforcement/government has been ramping up in the past decade or so. And much of this distrust is very legitimate and justified...This isn't even debatable.
And this is exactly what happens when they themselves have created this environment of distrust. When they need the support of the law abiding, one day it's just not going to be there if this trust continues to deteriorate.
This does not make for happy times ahead.
Fair enough. You’ve had your say.
I can agree with you in terms of police abuse when it takes place. I do not see this situation in the same terms you do.
These are special circumstances and the police sought to make a show of force to discourage more rioting. Instead they ran into a group wanting to protest on a night when it just wasn’t a good idea.
Thanks for your comments.
