“How about how leftists and their media never talk about the riots and blame police officers for burning and looting?”
What are you talking about? The months of June and July were pretty much prime riot time on every news channel or program. And since you probably didn’t switch from FoxNews or NewsMax/OAN, unless you were there to see how things escalated (Trump gassing civilians for a photo op, federal agents “protecting” the Portland courthouse), I’m pretty sure it was at least 50/50 in terms of escalation.
“How about how these protests started out as peaceful but people chose to start beating people up?”
Yeah, we watched a 50-year-old Navy vet get both hands broken with ZERO provocation by federal agents during what should have been a “peaceful” protest. We watched unidentified federal agents in unmarked vehicles snatch people off the streets. We watched a guy holding a protest sign across the street get his face shattered by a pepper ball, again with zero provocation. We watched citizens legally standing on their porches get shot at by police with rubber bullets.
“How about those progressives who refuse to confront this problem?”
The way things are clearly aren’t working so alternatives are proposed. The right likes things the way things are so they oppose them. Pretty much has us where we are now.
Police unions are the root of the problem. Their CBAs allow gross misconduct to perpetuate without a whiff of reprisal. On top of that, they hold their municipalities hostage with their outrageous demands.
Conservatives HATE unions but throw the knee pads on for police unions. All in the name of “law and order.” Go figure.
