1. the protests were peaceful until law enforcement showed up 2. looting occurring doesn’t mean it’s protesters looting 3. if you’re more offended over lost/damaged property than the inhumanity of this administration, you’re part of the problem

Why does everybody go with this take? Innocent Americans are being put into bad circumstances because others want to virtue signal for those who come here illegally. I doubt everyone who joins the protests care, they probably just join in because it allows them an easy way to start being destructive

well it doesn’t help that undercover pigs have been known to loot and entice violence in order to invalidate protests. i watched it happen during the 2020 protests.

That sounds like entrapment, is that even legal?

of course not, they just don't give two shits and are looking for any way to make it seem like protestors are rioting so they can have an excuse to shoot and use pepper spray on the crowd

Cops don’t care about what’s legal and what’s not I fear

I wonder how much of our modern issues could be traced back to shitty, self absorbed cops

As somebody who watches true crime stuff, the amount of miss handling of cases by cops is absolutely insane. Almost every case is misshandled in one way or another. They’re fucking useless

as someone who works in law and wants to take it further as my career, we see it pretty often when it comes to orders of protection, the cops do jack shit for women until it’s too late and even then there’s no guarantee they will even though it’s legally required they do protect them

cops commitment to one another FAR outweighs any commitment to the community they might still have. cops are here to protect property. not communities.

there was a huge protest in LA over the violent ICE raids happening in the area. trump called for 2000 national guard members to go to LA (the first time since ‘65 that the army was called for civilians and back then it was to PROTECT the protesters). national guard arrives, inevitably it escalates everything, now trump is sending 500 marines there. which, of course, will continue to escalate things.
