Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIn the last 48 hours or so, police have arrested a clearly identified news crew while they
were on air; shot a nationally known news anchor with a rubber bullet in broad daylight while he was on air; after yelling "Light them up!", shot some type of canister at people sitting on their front porch; intentionally driven into protesters with a marked police vehicle; senselessly destroyed a sizable cache of water bottles and jugs of milk in a park so they could not be used to provide first aid to tear-gassed protesters; and, fired rubber bullets and tear gas canisters indiscriminately into totally non-violent crowds.
It is scary to say, but can we really expect that some will not eventually start shooting back? With virtually unlimited funds a available to pay "operatives" (provacateurs), is this not a genuine danger?

To your question. Yes, if they are not backed down, they are going to kill unarmed people eventually.
There was a big discussion about police unions yesterday. If we don't break them in large cities, then we must at least force them to realize that they are part of a larger societal whole, and are not the self reliant cowboys and cowgirls that they imagine themselves to be.

My question was whether some of the protesters OR the paid stooges hired to start a race war will start SHOOTING COPS.

I would prefer that boogaloos not get a platform to launch their plan to begin with, the only way that happens is cops get held accountable for their actions, without fail.
