    I think this should be the major issue....
    "an even darker turn in the conflict, as the city has seemingly become a magnet for armed right-wing militias...."
    How do the "law and order" rightists justify taking the law into their own hands?

    What are you even talking about outside of the typical racism?

    Actually white people trying to act like Black people is much more common.

    How do black and white people "act"???

    My friends all tend to act like decent human beings, regardless of differences in skin tones.

    You think police killings should be the major issue? 1000 people killed by police and only 55 of those were unarmed. That's out of a very diverse population of 325,000,000. That isn't America's biggest issue, IMO.

    I'm not "pushing" for anything, just pointing out how stupid and unrealistic "shoot them in the arm or leg" is. Reality is not a western movie. Shove your strawmen.

    Ask and you shall receive. White man gunned down in the back as he was surrendering. Did not even try to resist arrest. And yet, no uproar.....

    Edit - I now see that others have already posted this story - I gotta get faster at this!!

    What a pack of lies and projection. Try not discussing me in your next post and I may.

    There is no strawman. I've seen this done effectively in Germany on a US military base.
    It works just fine. No reason it can't be done here as well....except in your vivid imagination

    Maybe I was unclear. I think armed militias should be the major issue...
    "an even darker turn in the conflict, as the city has seemingly become a magnet for armed right-wing militias...."

    Oh, how many people have "armed right-wing militias" killed this year?

    That being the country's major issue seems even more trivial than some action on reasonable police reforms, IMO, and the latter isn't in my top 5 "biggest issues facing the country".

    Your entire response to me, was about me.
    And now you are demanding I not “discuss you” while levying vapid (and ironic) person insults.

    There’s your sign

    My "response to you" was directly in response to your little personal insult (completely unsolicited) try again. Remember that thing you said about giving what you get...remember that?

    It is absolutely solicited by our previous interactions. And yes, you are doubling down on my reasoning.

    Adding to it actually.
    I am growing bored of this... I guess you could call it a discussion... and I don’t see it evolving... so take care.
    I hope you can recover from my “personal insult”.

    Easy. Liberals keep siding with criminals and refusing to arrest people of all stripes.

    It's VERY easy to justify. Democrats promote chaos, then only enforce the "laws" against people they don't like.

    This isn't rocket science. Chaos is what you get.

    You're right. Perhaps not so big yet....but strutting around with their AR's isn't really helping to quell the violence much is it?

    Because chaos is what you want....why else would you be stirring the pot with your toy soldiers?

    What violence? All I see are mostly "peaceful protests" on the left, with mostly peaceful fires and mostly peaceful looting. lol

    Okay...but can you honestly say you're against the fire....while you're ignoring the ones stoking the flame?

    CNN has become a total laughing stock, more funny than a VW beetle with 50 clowns inside.

    The people stoking the flames are the ones with the matches and lighters, pouring gasoline and setting fires to buildings, and throwing flaming Molotov cocktails at police officers.
