Yeah the blame the police tactics and equipment stuff is just a scapegoat du jour packaged and marketed by liberals to be more appealing to libertarian leaners.
They say militarization of police is the cause, okay then what was the cause of riots in the 60s 70s 80s 90s?
The answer of course is miltariazation hasn't caused any of this. This is about black culture and the way it fosters, encourages and enables violent criminal behavior and the mindset within it of hating the police.
It’s not about militarization. Further militarization would not help either. It’s about the unwillingness of the police to actually open fire on looters and arsonists.
