I Have To Ask

(By calling for stronger LAWS.) He is very close to it, though.

But what he was calling for stronger laws for, in relation to the Rittenhouse trial, wasn't shown to be true. He was not a violent extremist. but by referring to him as that, he is trying incite action based on something that is not true.

I wish that law enforcement was given a green light on handling the riots properly.

I'm not sure you can control the false rhetoric coming out of a lot of politicians mouths.
But doesn't it look like the democrat's plan all along was to minimize law enforcement policy, reduce the numbers of officers...defund the police...and then to incite and encourage criminals through their words to commit more crimes. Knowing that there's not enough police to catch all the criminals...so they won't be prosecuted and then they can be incited and encouraged later to do it again.
Sorry I went on but that's the way I see it.

I’m afraid it’s like a runaway train that can’t be stopped. It would require a drastic change in their approach, and I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Sadly, you shouldn’t need that type of response, but people are acting like there are no laws and their morals are not present. All the talk of global warming and all won’t mean much if the bigger problem is the people themselves.
We can’t even get along :-(

The runaway train example is perfect. :)
I find it really interesting that it's the politicians currently holding power which are encouraging this behavior. Personally I think it's to keep the state of emergency in place longer, so Biden can keep putting out his illegal executive orders, and keep disobeying the court's orders.
But I too wish we could all get along.

I find the total lack of compassion and empathy for fellow human beings unforgivable. At no point should someone chose to beat old people or shoot randomly and other crimes against humanity.
It’s what’s in their hearts, or NOT in their hearts that troubles me most.
It should never have gotten this bad.

I agree with everything you said.
The real question should be when did all of this become acceptable in society? And why are our government so passive about it? Protecting the community doesn't seem to be a priority any more. I say this because there originally were only seven officers downtown the day the riot and looting happened here.

I apologize for my naughty comment.
As far as government being passive, I suspect they don’t want to upset a group of voters.
Inexcusable if that’s the case.
Either way, the decent, law abiding citizens need REAL protection.
“Only seven officers”… so sad :-(

Your comment was fine.
Not wanting to upset a group of voters? Letting chaos and criminals have free reign...I'm not sure how well that's working out for them. Hopefully the recent election in Virgina is visions of things to come.
Do you not think that part of the plan is to decrease funding for the police, deteriorate the standard of life within the country, for special interests, then say if you feel unsafe get your own security, and if you can't afford it fend for yourself.
That's why the police officers were just standing there as the rioters looted the business' throughout the city.

Cops should get a lot more protection from prosecution.
If I was a cop, I’d probably worry about using too much force and winding up in prison :-(

I couldn't agree with you more.
But I'm also afraid yes, the police would be afraid of use of force.
Although here the police don't enforce the laws properly, if at all, so the city's crime statistics don't go up, and scare away tourists. The problems you create when you put too much emphasis on tourism dollars.

I loved watching the cops chase those goons to their car and then smash the windows with their nightsticks! That’s exactly what needs to be done, without recourse!
I didn’t think about how not making arrests gives a false impression of a lower crime rate. The videos are undermining that tactic.
Hopefully, they come to their senses and take care of this.
