Lots of defense of police mentioning BLM and Antifa, but can't be bothered in a January 6th hearing thread to say anything bad about the attackers or the moron that enticed them . . . You'd think he'd be interested in finding out the details behind possibly the most broadcasted assault on LEOs in American history, but no. I've seen lots of pettyfog, avoiding questions and deflecting by him and that's pretty much about it. But if there's video of a black person disrespecting a LEO, who is most likely going to be the first to post it?

OK. I'm sorry in advance for quoting you, for I am willing to respond to you in a civil manner. Yeah SSF tends to take a position outside of the main narrative, and if it's for better or for worse and if the choice of attitude always fits, yeah I had varying thoughts about that and I sure told him so. I understand your perception to a point. I don't understand it when it comes to your accusation of him not saying anything bad about the attackers or the moron that enticed them. For anyone who reads there can be no doubt how his perspective on these people is. He sees them pretty much just as you and me see them. He said so. Repeatedly.

Now you get the friendly part; some other posts just make me angry. SSF, no matter how one perceives him, is not responsible for every police misdeed. And for the most part, policemen are not villains or morons or folks just shooting around and killing people at will. That is just such nonsense. The vast majority, and I have zero reason to believe that SSF is not a part of said vast majority, are brave and dedicated and decent folks who do a difficult, not exactly well paid job that is essential for society and everyone in it. That's what most policemen are, honorable people. If one can't see it that way, one is seeing it wrong, and that is in no way denying that police deserves increased scrutiny or a claim that there isn't anything wrong with american police. But it is so damn uncalled for, and so offensive, to tell someone to shoot around at random, or that he thinks everything's a target, or that he happily breaks in houses and kills folks and hurts infants or whatever BS I read throughout the last few months, just because this person is a LEO. It is awful and should make everyone who posts this kind of garbage, and I explicitely address Mr. PapaKain, feel bad. And in my humble opinion, an apology would be the only way out of this. I'd say respectfully, but I have to say my respect kinda vanishes at that point.
