Re: Bad Cop, Bad Cop, Whatcha gonna do?
Except this is only half the answer. Like I said in an earlier post, rioters should be met with overwhelming force, because there is never a legitimate excuse to riot. But also whatever the situation it doesn't excuse police killing unarmed people who pose them or others no immediate danger, or covering up facts or lying about what happened in the aftermath. I'm willing to see both sides. Too many people (not saying you Gurt, just using your post for illustration) who reflexively go to the side of the cops fail to see this. It might be a chicken or egg thing (I don't happen to believe this and see clear instigators in many of these incidents) but certainly both the chicken and the egg need to behave differently. Don't riot while there are still civil and legal means to make change. Don't hide behind a badge to act as judge, jury and executioner.
