yeah i think curfew is a failure by the police force at their own job

and they aren't even respecting their own rules which is double failure

Just like "most" of these protesters are violent looters right?

keep in mind minnesota police department's statement on the curfew is that it is perfectly acceptable to be outside on private property between 8pm and 6am, and that the curfew only applies to public spaces and streets

Well, I have a friend who is a cop and he's one of the nicest dudes so I'd feel kind of wrong being anti cop. They're human beings too and being a cop doesnt automatically make you a piece of shit
Ok. I was mentored by cops, raised by cops, one of my mentees is a cop. I WAS a cop before I injured my back.(Meh, I was fresh out of academy).

It doesn't excuse how bullshit you people are being.

"All cops aren't bad, but all of those protesters sure are"

Okay. Bud

That doesn't excuse any of this.

nobody cares that there are a few cops who are "good" because the institution prevents him from speaking out against his fellow cops for fear of retaliation or want of approval, thus leading him to be complicit either willingly or unwillingly in the process of police brutality

our police force is inherently broken and needs either external accountable oversight or just to be reformed from the ground up. it's too much of a machismo good ole boys club

statements like "not ALL cops are bad" ignore the systemic injustices that comes by default with having a badge in America. for as long as cops can obscure their name plates and cover up their body cams to mitigate individual responsibility while their "good" coworkers do not call them out on it, we will be forced to treat them as a single unit

We don't actually know that yet. It hasn't gone far enough through the court systems for the supreme court to have made their opinion known. With much of the judicial system likewise restricted, it's going to be a while for those cases to get through. Even then, it typically takes something like seven years for it to get through the lower courts to even reach the desk of the supreme court.

the Supreme Court makes bad calls all the time

they dont so much actually interpret the constitution as they make partisan arguments about what the founders intended based on their own pre-existing political beliefs

I'd bet you got it harder than I did, to be fair.

We were walking under a highway overpass, and there were hundreds of supporters all along it. All of a sudden they started yelling out and running down to the ground below. You could sort of smell it, but me and mine didn't stick around to see exactly what happened; as soon as we saw dozens of people running away we followed suit.

I like the part at 0:14~0:16 where the cop notices there's a camera and then pushes his partner's knee OFF the dude's neck

Police went wild firing gas cans a few hours after I left.

Looking at the footage of the guy who drove through the crowd, he was stopped just a few feet later by three or four police cars, who detained him for a few seconds.. and let him go.

A fucking psychopath mowing down pedestrians ON CAMERA and practically in custody already, is apparently not as great a concern as some people with a sign!

It's not about danger.
You still think the police serve and protect for some reason.

It's about, "an enemy of my enemy..." And yes, the police totally see protestors as "the enemy" and not as citizens they're supposed to serve and protect.

Boy, if I had a shred of respect for them before, it's gone now. They're going wild on innocent civilians with no cause whatsoever, and all the hypothetical "good cops" are letting them.

Any good cop knows that all of this is wrong, would have stepped in, and would have actually arrested that piece of shit truck driver. They'd take a stand, no matter the personal cost, just like we're doing out there now. If they're not standing with us, like so many officers around the country have chosen to, if I can't count on them to do the right thing and keep the people safe, they're officially part of the problem.

He was the one speaking. So they took him for a leader.

They see this as a war, and taking out leaders(captains, generals, etc) are a quick way to deal blows to the enemy side. Remember Forest Gump when Lieutenant Dan told him not to salute him cause Snipers would love to take him out?

This is starting to really get ugly.

And with the economic division in this country, the elimination of the middle class, those cops have more in common with the protestors than they do the elite whose bidding theyre doing.

And that's a huge problem.

If people can't even protest peacefully, can't protest while flat saying that they're not enemies, wtaf do the police expect to happen.

If they are going to silence peaceful voices, they're going to just get more violence. Sadly, that probably suits them just fine.
