Surely, the police are allowed their own non violent protests?
Yes, and people are allowed to criticize them for acting like spoiled children.
Many of them feel the mayor has helped create an environment that makes their jobs more difficult and dangerous and that he didnt have their back, so they showed him theirs. I dont think it is childish when you feel it is your own personal safety at play.
You do realize that many, if not most, of the Brown/Garner protestors acted as they did because they believed that it was
their "personal safety at play"? Why can't the police force have the basic human empathy to respect that perspective and not throw a fit at the slightest criticism? Wouldn't it be better to actually engage in dialogue with people, and
honestly seek to build bridges/root out the bad apples, instead of dragging down the majority of good folks in a shameful, illogical show like this?
...
As for this murderer, long may he rot in hell. I'm inclined to agree with Beet and IceSpear on the first page that this was a cowardly, vainglorious act by someone who had already done the unspeakable and decided to hypocritically go out in a "blaze of glory" or whatever. My heart goes out to all three of his victims and their families.
