My view is that if you're going to mischaracterize the discussion, it will remain stupid.

No one (that I know of) disagrees with any of that. So enough of the silly.

My view is the actions of 100 morons doesn't equal the actions of 25,000 peaceful protestors, any more than the actions of a few cops equals the actions of the many excellent members of law enforcement in this country.

My view is that reacting by positing marching cops calling for dead protestors isn't any better logic that 100 morons generalizing all cops.

My view is that you're unlikely to back off your flatly incorrect view that the majority of protestors, in NY and around the country, were peaceful. With some notable (and criminal) exception, yes.

My view is that this moronic cop doesn't get it and deserved his suspension:

My view is that these cops get it:

Actually, my view is that the majority of protests around the country were peaceful. But I'm not going to bury my head in the sand when there are those that are violent or excuse them.
But...just like those who start a thread when a cop kills a black man (typically those on the left), I'm going to start a thread when people call for killing cops.

Its my view that the cop making threats involving using his badge to hide behind does...indeed...not get it.

Its my view that those cops joined in as long as it was a peaceful protest. In all honesty, I don't think its a sign that they "get anything"... it may be a sign that they agreed with the crowd who were protesting Darren Wilsons' actions at the time. But in that case, the officers and the crowd were proven wrong,

I'm not sure the dead people agree.

Nor would their grieving families
Sanity and CD don't give a shit about that,just the cost of doing business .

Fuck you. You show me a thread, including this one, where I said anything against grieving family. I won't hold my breath.

But that's not what this thread's about, though you'd like to derail it from what it is about: Protesters calling for dead cops now. I give a shit about people chanting about wanting dead cops.

You might try reading the thread instead of just going your usual route and assuming that...Because it's written by someone to the right of you...the poster is wrong or that you know their thoughts.

Ask MM to point you to the post in this thread where I said the Staten Island cops were wrong.

Tell me...do you support these protesters and chants? Easy question.

You start by saying "Fuck you".
Finish by asking an idiotic slanted question.

As far as I am concerned and I am not alone, Brown and Garner (and Martin) are dead because they were black and would be alive today if they were white. It IS that simple still in America.

There will be more men who will be shot to death because they are black who as likely wouldn't be shot to death...if they are white.
