But many on FR will knee jerk into supporting law enforcement, after seeing them not doing their job against rioters but they have time to molest traffic offenders.

You know that police are not perfect, nor are they evil monsters. They are human beings and are given a great deal of latitude in how they do their jobs, within the limits set by law and procedure. I for one prefer it that way, even though it creates the opportunity for unfortunate misuse of that discretionary power as seen here. To conflate this with the riots is a logical fallacy.

When police overstep, the common response is to implement more restrictive rule as has occurred in this case. Try to remove all discretionary authority and you will end up with a police force of jack-booted thugs.

“after seeing them not doing their job against rioters”

There’s are good cops and very bad ones but I can’t believe cops not dealing with rioters are their decision.

Those decisions come from the higher up ruling elites for political gain. (Baltimore, Ferguson, Berkley, Charlottesville, et.al. All rat controlled.)

This incident though is beyond freaky, way.

I don’t and never did. That is what having some freedom loving libertarian DNA does for you. I hate the thought of totalitarianism and tyranny. I don’t know the full story but if true I’d be the first to send these cops to prison for 10 years hard labor. We need to make examples of govt corruption at the highest levels big time.

But BLM gets away with “pigs in a blanket fry em like bacon” only because our politicians kow tow to color and politics. Our corrupt media that RINO globalists wanted consolidated should be broken up into a 1000 different pieces with diversity of politics and ownership.
