You are going to have to explain how anything I have said on the subject is any different than this:



Maybe I haven’t verbalized it correctly or whatever, but my stance is no different, yet I get attacked by the snowflakes for it. Which is fine, I care not, but I’m not going be attacked for a position I don’t have.

Apparently, your issue was that whoever you were replying to had made the statement about a woman dressing proactively "in a normal situation" and tried to compare that to a kid in a MAGA going to a riot scene. I think you were saying that the two are completely different.

I guess I really didn't read the distinction about the woman being in a normal situation. I more read it as simply a woman dressing a certain way and putting herself in a dangerous situation like a dark alley, night club, Mardi Gras...

Floyd's death may have triggered it, but the anger is about more than him.

LEOs encounter difficult situations everyday while on the job. Most of those are resolved with a simple arrest without significant resistance. However, there are cases where the situation goes out of control and not necessarily the fault of LEOs, but due to certain actions by the suspects. This leads to resistance and officers having to use other measures to subdue and detain them.

I'm not condoning what happened in Minneapolis, but maybe you're not aware of what LEOs encounter on a daily basis and especially what they're having to deal with right now while one hand is tied behind their backs while their elected superiors are ordering them to disengage and fallback.

Are there some issues with how certain officers use methods for subduing, yes. What i have a problem with is this outrage against ALL LEOs right now and the MSM continuing to pour gas on this and creating wild speculation every chance they get.

So you are saying black people have the mentalities of three year olds? That's just a tad racist, Ricky.

No. I said these idiots that are looting (white and black) and setting fires and assaulting people have the emotional intelligence of a toddler throwing tantrums. They couldn’t even comprehend the facts because they don’t have logical or rational thought as evidence by their actions

I often find that the anti police people really change their tunes when they attend local department’s citizens academies and see how and why police procedures are what they are. Police hate usually comes out of one bad experience with an officer when they were younger or out of sheer ignorance of laws and police procedures

That is what you meant to say but you didn't place conditions on your original statement.

Let's see how you act if, God forbid, the economy dies and you go hungry. You'd likely be the first one smashing windows to go steal food from Kroger.

Huge difference between stealing food and stealing TVs. I can understand stealing food to survive. Stealing a big screen TV just because you can(and claiming it's because you're outraged over someone being needlessly killed), not so much.

I saw where they destroyed a plaque dedicated to the people who marched on the mayor’s office when a black representative’s house was bombed. Take that racism.

Shows you a lot of people are reckless and clueless, and the anarchy has little to do with good.

Stealing is stealing. Don't lay judgement on people for doing something that you yourself may do if circumstances mandate.

Just a stark realist who is trying to remind some people they are no better than anyone else.

I have to disagree with you. Haven't been aware of any active VN members that have participated in the riots, looting, acts of arson, assualt, attempted murder and murder during the last 5 days.
