Reform is needed ,but not for the fake racist narrative constantly asserted in media.You admit reform is needed but blame "liberals".
Why make this partisan?
What happened should make everyone angry. There is NO excuse for violence. However, the fact that not everyone is angry makes the violence predictable.

I am mad too that cops have problems, and teachers, and politicians etc etc.
That isn’t a remote reason to riot, or even protest IMO. Yes we should talk about it, let politicians know it bothers us. Why haven’t these cities better trained cops? They have had decades.
Th latest round of riots for Taylor is just another example in the long list.
Spreading the false narratives that cops are gunning after blacks disproportionately is what has stoked this violence, it’s been shown over and over here the statistics do not back up the narrative.
And time and again the media prints false claims about these events early on, stoking the angers and violence. And like the emperor’s new clothes, they will not admit their mistakes when new facts come out, because it means people died and property damaged was done on lies. And they just can’t admit that.
There is no doubt cops need reforming. But it effects everyone. The racial aspect is minimal at best.
And sadly, inner city black conditions will only be worse when the dust settles on all this. How people can’t realize that is baffling.
Business and money will drift further a way from potential Riot “hot spots”. Green flight will happen. It will include successful blacks getting sway from the crazies.
What businesses stay will have to charge more, to compensate for higher security, insurance etc. So the poor now will get a “riot tax” to further make life difficult.
Um, no, climate change has actual science behind it. The false claims that cops are targeting blacks for death disproportionately does not. This has been clearly shown here many times using FBI statistics. .Like it or not:
- Too many guns in this country .....way way way too many guns and the fallacy of the responsible gun owner existing to such a degree to offset the actual number of guns has been blown to bits by events in Detroit and Kenosha and Louisville and at the corrupt headquarters of the NRA. People patrolling the streets under the Militia Moniker ARE NOT responsible gun owners. They are vigilantes.
- Systemic racism exists in this country......to still be unwilling to acknowledge it at this point makes one as obtuse as those that still refuse to acknowledge human contribution to Climate Change, maybe more obtuse
- We have horrific levels of bad policing in this country now and since Police mainly operate from fear and white men (WASPs) in this country have always tended to fear black and brown people and because Police tend to operate as teams, the combination of horrifically bad policing and fear has resulted in a very particular Law Enforcement version of systemic racism. That "raid" on Ms Taylor's home NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED in the first place. George Floyd NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. Insert myself as a white suspect in any of dozens of Law Enforcement confrontations with non-whites that happen every day and what transpires NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
There....NOW you have a premise to go forward and make changes.

I did no such thing, I can walk you through it again if you like, right in front of the lurkers.No it hasn’t. You have cherry picked specific contexts, and when challenged on it, you then mix and match data sets.
No one has claimed cops are purposely trying to murder Black people. There just is no consequence for doing so, thus it’s functionally the same.

210,000 COVID deaths are on Republican hands.Th latest round of riots for Taylor is just another example in the long list.

And there’s is no more consequence when they murder whites either.
Both cases though are rare, despite the false narrative.
All for legalizing drugs, yep. But the race narrative if fake.It is not people of color. It is poor people. While there are gang affiliations among black and brown youths, it is the overriding fact of poverty that drives it all. Police spend more time patrolling poor hoods and so make more arrests in poor hoods. Mostly for low level drug charges. The fact is they could go across town and patrol upper class hoods, and make similar arrests. But they don't. Because they can't.
In New York, stop and frisk ended up a low level drug charge for 90% of people. You don't think, that if they had taken that uptown and hit the sidewalks at 2 AM they wouldn't have gotten the same or more?

A year ago .... even 5 months ago. There were no riots.
For Democrats to say that their hands are clean of these violent, psychopathic (anti police) riots is at this point completely laughable.
