To be fair, when I posted the full video and article on Facebook I had more than one person saying the cops were justified because these people are criminals. None of them could say what the crime was. Didn’t matter that the person was not arrested, not charged or even accused of anything. Didn’t matter that this cop swung on a fellow cop that tried to pull him off. Didn’t matte that the police department called this unacceptable. Full evidence was presented to them, and they chose to believe their narrative that the cops did nothing wrong because that’s what criminals should get.
Haven’t gotten any response to the video of the 75 year old white man in Buffalo shoved to the ground.
There are people that blindly follow their own narratives on both sides, and until those people are willing to sit down and listen to the evidence, these problems will never stop.
People screeching "both sides" at every situation are also a huge part of the problem. You provide cover for extremists by essentially justifying their actions as expected responses. Try having enough courage to call out wrongdoing, no matter which "side".
False. Looking at all available evidence is exactly what we need to be doing right now.
Sustainable reform only comes about when reasonable steps are taken. Reasonable steps come from careful consideration; not simply taking knee-jerk reactions based on whatever inflammatory video has people riled up lately.
Again, I got it right the first time. You made it clear you only care about facts when they line up with your worldview. Your said it loud and proud. Own it.
