Acting in "self defense" against the police?  If you're talking about in other cases, I don't know anyone here who has been inconsistent in stating we should wait for actual facts before reaching a conclusion, regardless of the ethnicity of the person involved. 



No, they wouldn't and Chicago is proof of this.  The police shot a guy after he opened fire on them.  Riots and looting promptly followed.  It's not about whether it was a justified shooting or not anymore, it's just ACAB.



Now, you're finally being honest.  No more hiding behind "I have respect for law enforcement."

 
Maybe not "all of them"?   Seriously, you're off the deep end on this subject.  Please don't ever try and tell me you have any respect for law enforcement.  I knew it wasn't true in the past, but it's blatantly obvious now.

Yeah, first you don't know me and your opinion based on your interpretation of my words means nothing.  To me or at all.  The only reason I justified it with a response is because I won't be accused of something like that in a public forum.

On topic:  Justified acts by the police don't get a fair shake from some because of the cases Like Taylor and Floyd.  That's what I said.  If there is no movement for change from both sides every case will reignite the embers of protest.

I fully understand that you have two decades of experience in a field that gets a lot of flack for how it does it's job sometimes.  I don't blame individuals for the mistakes and lack of change.  But there needs to be a hard look at these things an movement made or the cycle will continue.
