Police Brutality ....

A solitary act (if I believe your construct as stated) allows hundreds if not thousands of others to do as they damned well please, victimizing God knows how many others to manifest their “anger”??

Did I read this on Free Republic or DU, am I on the right site????

They are rioting CAUSED BY police gunning down someone the police were chasing. The police abused their power and authority by summarily executing without a trial someone they wanted to arrest

“Caused by” does not equal permission to or imply legality to the riot

Government is its own worst enemy when it doesn’t follow its own rules or recognize its legitimacy is predicated upon CONSENT FROM THE GOVERNED

Did y’all have a civics class in school? Or maybe the schools weren’t teaching it any more. I know you have to old like I am to have received certain classes in school, but I am stunned by people’s comments.

Do we really want Ohio State all over again? I don’t understand why the commenters here don’t understand the difference between a representative form of government, like in England and here and a dictatorship like in Syria and Iran
