I've about blown a fuse this weekend.
Imagine NOT being a Democrat in Los Angeles.
-Want to put a campaign sticker on your car... Hope you like scratches in the paint.
-See a political event published on Facebook, don't take the kids, because there's going to be a fight.
(Today's event had shot's fired from a nearby apartment building with a SWAT Team and everything)
-Constantly see people who without any critical thinking AT ALL, promote policies with EASILY predicted and horrible outcomes.
Last week, a kid RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE, defended himself when he was given absolutely no other alternative. And every dumbass around wants to call him a murderer.
Then, next thing you know. A man coldly walks up to another man and puts two bullets in his chest with hardly a word spoken, and somehow that's comparable?
I have never in my life been so upset with a particular political party. I was never some hard-core, ride-or-die Republican. I was never a Republican at all. I always thought they were too intolerant, too evangelical, but damn, things have changed.
There is no tolerance AT ALL from the Left. If you don't agree that the most important goals for Feminist's are promoting the interests of people with testicles, you're a TERF. You're garbage. Gay conservative? Say goodbye to your LGBT brothers and sisters. Conservative Person of Color? Oh, I have never heard such racist and derogatory filth spewed in public. If you don't believe that some people deserve to be treated differently based on their race, then YOU'RE the racist.
99% of the world can agree.
-Police brutality is not just bad, it's a crime
-Most police want to help us all
-Everyone deserves to be given the same opportunities to live a free life
-We are OWED the best protection that can be provided by the law enforcement we pay for
FUCK I'M PISSED
The people rioting now are the same type of people in the same areas the led to the "militarization" of police in the first place. I am old enough to remember when police on wore a uniform and maybe a revolver. Crime got more violent and became so routine it was seen as commonplace and acceptable. There are over 500 cases of police brutality (still only about 0.7% of police) and other charges every year, and about half or so are found guilty. They purposefully pick sensational cases of with people who were violent and didn't follow directions to be proven false, that police were placed in severe situations with dire repercussions and followed procedure as best as possible.
