scottmcalvert jon_kamp Great. Now let voters tell the politicians what they really want.

Man up those sociologists,psychology techs with large tranquilizers either dart guns or needle,and knock em down like animal then haul in to jail .

Remember in training day when officer Jake Hoyt had to apply the illegal choke hold... ban the use of anything you want.. but in the heat of battle we are primal..

Soon the policy will be that the officer has to bareknuckle box the criminal and the loser goes to jail.

Just wondering, interested in other’s thoughts. If they raised the penalty for resisting arrest, would that be more of a deterrent? It’s dangerous to everyone, police and alleged perpetrator, for people to resist. The police have to have the ability to restrain someone.

I'm against all violences and racism ; and i'm really against the 'neck holds', but the problem now is that governments in Europe want to use the 'Taser' to arrest peoples. It's horrible too. I dislike electrocution.

'How can I do better as a white man?

Not just bad apples but closeted racists having authority and immunity. Remove immunity of federal employees committing perjuries. White closeted racists inside the Dept. of Commerce - USPTO commit criminal felonies in their racist acts against an African American.

Good

Leaders for the riots Voters have to ask themselves how a country the size of Canada tenth of our size can have a standard of living better than us if everything our politicians tell us is true! Social programs dont bankrupt it fair taxes dont bankrupt it? You are also a mass murderer through the spread of COVID, but I guess I can’t tell you that yet. Look to Arizona and watch the huge second wave coming thanks mostly to these extremely unintelligent protesters.
