Because that's totally what I said.

That's what your silly little meme implied. :shrug:

Mass arrests are occurring as thousands protest police violence and institutional racism in cities all across the USA.
Irrelevant. When the police and military merge, it means the people have become the enemy of the government.
I say they aren't rioting enough. We need complete and utter chaos.

I say they aren't rioting enough. We need complete and utter chaos. This election and this rampant police brutality has proven that the government considers us the enemy. They will never help us. They will not fullfill their promises. They NEVER WILL. Dictators free themselves and enslave the people.
Spoken like someone who has truly never lived through such a condition.
What was unlawful in the Mike Brown shooting?Perhaps if governments governed in a lawful manner, there would be no protests?
Spoken like someone who blindly submits to authority.
Could the riots be the result of Dems promising everything to the "underclass" and then failing to deliver?
Yeah, you're right, cops shouldn't be allowed to wear safety equipment. They should be required to throw themselves into harm's way without any additional equipment. :roll:

Football does not require Armored Personnel Carriers, War Bots, Assault Rifles, Grenades, Rocket launchers, Heavy machine guns...

Where violent response is inappropriate it should of course be addressed. But starting ANY conversation with "the cops' or "the police" or "law enforcement" is as inane as addressing violent criminal activity and "the blacks". Building an entire movement based on proven lies and blatant bigotry is pathetic. At best. Its an act instigated by liars and hypocrites. They know who they are. So do we.This whole movement is absurd, almost without exception the blacks killed were thugs assaulting police officers while resisting arrest.
I do however agree with the underlying sentiment however that it is quickly becoming time to do something about the power of the state.
:lol: Nah. If I was one of those, I'd be climbing on board the Trump Train or the Hillary Train.
I've seen what happens when the conditions that you claim are needed occur. There is a reason that populations who go through that are willing to accept any government, no matter how awful or abusive or tyrannical, as a superior alternative.
Recommend reading Hobbes and Machiavelli, and thinking long and hard about the historical experiences that preceded the work of both.

Militarized police forces throughout the US carry out mass arrests - World Socialist Web Site
Dealing with a more militarized criminal element does.
Consider much of this part if the "Peace Dividend" after the fall of the USSR. Much used military equipment was funneled into law enforcement. They then realized it was far better to go in harms way with armor rather than (relatively) naked.
But, hey, lets just have many more cops killed.
Its easily answered. When criminals went from just Joes that broke the law but still respected the law to violent scumbags that respect no one or nothing.The real question is:

Really...is ANYONE stupid enough to believe that the riots and protests were spawned by police response in riot gear? I mean...how ****ing stupid would you have to be to actually believe that?
People won't stop killing cops until the government ends the drug war, which is really a war on citizens (specifically, the black community).
I'm not advocated it, I'm just saying, you're bring unrealistic if you think that dominating the population with brute government force is going to solve anything.
And this isn't a new thing, either.
Mornin' Maggie!
I see what you're saying, here. However, I think sometimes the overly aggressive response on the part of LEOs can contribute to the overall escalation of a situation. IOW, a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts is set up.
I'm currently visiting my folks in Atlanta, and we all watched Fri as the events unfolded. There were only 3 arrests (all of which occurred early Sat morning), no property damage, no injuries. I have to wonder if the response tactics of the APD didn't contribute to that outcome. It was quite a different scene here than in other parts of the country.

Clearly, SWAT was there in the back. Just not the first line of "defense."
Just my :twocents:
I agree the War on Drugs needs to come to an end, nothing good has come of it, its devastating Mexico even worse than what it is doing here.
As for it being "Specifically a war on the black community" I'd have to call BS.
Completely and utter chaos is a very bad idea. Just going to point that out.
