The people you’re talking about are by nature criminals. That’s what they do. Obviously criminals should be punished for the crimes they commit. And they are. Cops aren’t.zombie wrote:they need to focus more on bad cops, obviously. does that mean turn a blind eye to anything and everything that looters or rioters do, even as just individuals and not reporters with a platform and large following?Headhunter wrote:Because what we really need is to pay more attention to the rioters.

Would it really make sense to say “Cops need to stop killing innocent people, but criminals also need to stop committing crimes”?

if you're gonna justify breaking the law in vague terms, then you should be clear what you're justifying and what you're not. but you can do whatever you want.Headhunter wrote:Is it never justified to break the law?

When law enforcement ceases to enforce the law, we can only rely on our individual morals to guide us.zombie wrote:trevor noah, i believe?, is talking about "the social contract is no longer valid" then i don't know how to be very specific, when he's not being specific. what is justified or excused or accepted with that?Headhunter wrote: I’m talking about the “some people are saying that it is justified or acceptable to break the law” part.

agreed but, in that context, there isn't much to discuss or debate unless you want to try to tell someone else what their morals should be.Headhunter wrote:When law enforcement ceases to enforce the law, we can only rely on our individual morals to guide us.zombie wrote:trevor noah, i believe?, is talking about "the social contract is no longer valid" then i don't know how to be very specific, when he's not being specific. what is justified or excused or accepted with that?Headhunter wrote: I’m talking about the “some people are saying that it is justified or acceptable to break the law” part.

Re: Random Political Comments
also, this movement toward no more undue police violence kind of relies on still having some kind of law and order. but just that it needs some repairing or restructuring.

And what this shows more and more is that most of us have been good. But you have to cage the animals. And that's an ugly thing.

You ever see lions or tigers try and "cage" one of their own, one that misbehaved in the pack? It's brutal. And usually only a cub will survive, if an alpha lets it. Humans are supposed to be so much better though. Were not.

Finally all of the cops involved in the Floyd murder have been charged. And Chauvin’s charge has been upgraded to second degree.

Re: Random Political Comments
The story worth talking about is millions of people both in this country and around the world protesting the racial injustice and terrible policing in this country. Not gonna let people hijack that narrative because a combo of undercover law enforcement, white supremacists and far left anarchists want to break shit for different reasons.
