So, what is really the argument here, in this thread? One side argues the police is the victim and that blacks are unreasonable in their behavior and demand. The other side (those here not everyone with BLM) argues that blacks have been discriminated and abused since the creation of the US. This doesn't give them the right to break the law, but who the hell is arguing that anyway? I see too many straw-man arguments here: some people construct something extreme (or imaginary) to beat up and somehow prove their point.
Now which side is closer to the truth? I'd like to ask the proud Hellenes to put themselves in the position of blacks, with the experience of 200+ years their group has had, and tell me how most of you would behave? And, would you own those who use violence (in rhetoric and action) against those who have been mistreating you?
I haven't seen anyone here who supports justice arguing for brutality. With the wide availability of video cameras and smart phones it's been easier to expose abuse, which abuse was undoubtedly went on for years without remedy, because it was often the police word that counted.
