"Rubio said that concerns held by the controversial protesters are “legitimate” and suggested that “resentment” for law enforcement was understandable."

Is he friggin kidding me? Not only is he a racist for pandering to the illegal aliens again and again because they're hispanic, but now he's pandering to the black rioters and their supporters?

I have no sympathy for the "Black Lives Matter" racket. The reality is that 0.5% of blacks are killed by police while 93% of blacks are killed by other blacks. Nor do I have any sympathy for Al Sharpton or other race-hustlers.

But there is a problem with police harassment of innocent people minding their own business. I'm not white (or black). I'm a US citizen and the son of legal immigrants who worked hard for their green card and their citizenships. And I've been stopped and lined up against the wall by police while walking the mile back to the dorm after my night job in college before I could afford a car. This stuff does happen.

"But there is a problem with police harassment of innocent people minding their own business."

I agree. My wife and I watch Cops Reloaded and some times see where they take someone down hard who appears not resisting arrest. Sometimes, they jump too quick and too hard.

Just saw the other night, a suspect being cuffed and bent over to allow more access to his wrists, and one cop said "stop bending over and resisting". The suspect said, "I'm not, just trying to work with you". Surprised that Cops Reloaded actually showed it. Guess most fans of the show believe it's ALL justified.

So yes, I believe that more cops are becoming more aggressive. The question is why? More cops being shot? But then you have the cops in Ferguson and Baltimore and elsewhere who are afraid to due their duty.

I don't know what the answer is, but it's definitely not pandering to the stupid #blacklivesmatter racist crowd that Rubio is doing. Rioters/looters should get the full force of the law.

Force is the only thing the criminal element respect. I watched the Los Angeles Rodney King riots unfold from ground zero from day one. I will never forget that while they were burning down their own black neighborhoods, some Koreans stood atop their stores with rifles pointed down and didn't experience one looting or fire. Of course, the MSM painted them as vigilantes, but it didn't get much traction.
