Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain

Re: Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain

Was thinking about the Oregon armed encampment thing last night. It was seeming to me that there was kind of a double standard between the treatment of blacks recently...and these guys who were destroying public land and setting up armed encampments. And sure enough, there's some outcry about it this morning. I believe justified.

Frankly if I were in charge, I'd say that we appreciate their ability to protest...but that in 24 hours the power would be pulled from the buildings. We are a country where the law applies to everyone.

But letting BLM occupy a public street (and at times block an interstate highway) for 2+ weeks, while vandalizing the police station, making threats to civilians, etc, is ok? And they weren't showing up every day. They quite literally LIVED IN TENTS in the middle of the street for a couple weeks.

Edit: MoaM: Avery is no saint, I think the series showed that. But in THIS particular case, the PD broke every rule in the book, and the DA/Dassey's first lawyer were pure scum.
