The message that something must be done to stop the racial profiling that is resulting in racist police abuse throughout the States.... and that just maybe something should start being done about the racial disparities that persist to this day.

THAT message.

We agree on that. The HOW of that is certainly up for discussion as well as the amount of and type of violence experienced by certain communities and WHY that is the case.

So don't listen to them. Listen to the ones who have a legitimate beef.
The loud ones are given the microphones and cameras and drive political debate, that's the issue.


I've said repeatedly I don't agree with defunding the police. Serious black protesters don't agree either. Please stop assigning the crazy arguments of a few to the whole bunch.

Again, the loud ones have the pull politically and certain politicians are feeding that fire. I'd much rather we all return to reason.


We agree more than not on this subject. I wish people were able to have conversations on these topics, but as you've heard or will hear that officer say, the people who want to talk get pushed to the sidelines.
