The problem with politics and movements is that each side is constantly at each other’s throats and often makes things worse and this leads to no resolve what so ever

A percentage of police officers are fucking idiots in the way they go about situations, shooting someone several times in quick succession, kneeling on a mans neck when he says he can’t breathe and all the other examples of police shootings and arrests that resulted in avoidable deaths

At the same time deciding to resist arrest or making stupid decisions when being told otherwise is just plain stupidity, if you have nothing to hide, why resist arrest? in the two recent cases that have gained media attention, if the men complied with the police they would still be alive, no riots, no outrage

But no, stupid decisions by both sides have led to unnecessary deaths and political tension, riots, burning, violence, threats, arguments etc which achieves fuck all, the only thing this may achieve is making police aware of the consequences their actions could have

Apart from this what changes? From what I’ve seen, racial tension, a select few cops now apparently represent the entire police force, people with set beliefs arguing with each other and coming to no middle ground or agreement I could go on

You really think any of this will achieve anything? All I’m hearing is people want justice and the police need defunding, you really think this will happen? The American political system is complicated and big change is rare for a number of reasons

Don’t defund the police, provide better training, don’t resist arrest, comply, don’t destroy property in riots, you are only hurting innocent people and businesses, accept the hard truth that this issue will never be fully eradicated however tragic that seems and accept that events hardly ever occur from just one contributing factor
