Saw something on Facebook and too bad I didn't save it. It sums up the difference between people perfectly, regarding the murder and the riots.
Don't remember the exact wording, but it went something like......
"Some say hey it's too bad about the riots..... but the racist murder of black men by racist white cops can never happen again."
"While others say hey it's too bad about the murder..... but these riots can never happen again."
Subtle, but telling and distinct difference.
Count me among the former all day long.
just like damaging someone else's property is wrong
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
or harming an innocent is wrong

The mask is off.
Austin police have killed a young man by shooting him in the head with bird shot rounds wrapped in cloth, and continued to shoot the medics carrying his body. They shot a known pregnant woman in the stomach, then stormed and abducted her from a medic tent. They maced young children during a peaceful daytime protest.
Detroit police have brutally beaten, tear gassed, and arrested peaceful protestors. A curfew is set from 8pm to 5am city wide.
Rockford police dragged people from their cars and beat them last night.
Minneapolis police shot at people filming them on their own balconies.
An NYPD officer called a woman a "fucking bitch" and threw her on the ground. She went into a seizure and had to go to the emergency room. Then more New York cops rammed into crowds of protesters with their cars.
An Atlanta couple last night had their tires slashed, windows broken, and were dragged out of their car and tazed.
Chicago police announced a curfew and then raised the bridges out of downtown.
Demonstrators were trapped and at the utter mercy of CPD roundups. A police supervisor ordered on the radio, "Gas 'em all." Over 1,000 people have been arrested.
Everywhere, journalists are being indiscriminately targeted and arrested. A Minneapolis photojournalist is blinded permanently in one eye after being hit by a less lethal round.
They've maced children. They've torn off a woman's hijab. They're turning off their body cameras and hiding their badge numbers.
This is just what's been documented. Imagine what hasn't been.
The true nature of American policing has been revealed for the world to see. I have never seen brutality on such a massive scale. They don't care if you're peaceful. They don't care if they're on camera.
