    stop referring to the brute force and looting by some of the protesters as the main problem. its one of the symptoms. the whole enlightened world are watching you, collectively shaking our heads in disbelief over the american mindset and acceptance of the police.

    I would need to know what the rest of the "enlightened world" would like to see happen to give you my opinion. And I'm not talking about what wrong was done to get here. I'm talking about This Is Where We Are.... What Do We Do?

    Let them know when the police pull back this is what happens

    BTW I'm way more open minded than most, I welcome all opinions. As I said in the video I don't claim to have all the answers

    no party wanna back down or be the bigger one. pride and ignorance is high on both sides it seems.

    haha yes my friend unfortunately this is the truth.
    True unity would lead to overpopulation and mass starvation.

    America has problems, but most countries have a lot bigger problems. No one pays attention to them tho because everyone likes to hate America (envy).

    This doesn't describe everyone or every country, but the majority.

    Doesn't sound right when a foreigner only experiencing your country through a tv screen says it, am I right?


    Think about the situation police are in with everyone wanting the benefit of the doubt and looking for ways to "entrap" police. I know exactly how to act in front of an officer and no parts of it involve running towards a cop unless im screaming "help me!" (Im only referencing one of the men killed). This is their job and most places you don't have any recourse if an officer oversteps their bounds. Cops have to make split second decisions because their (or their coworkers) life may be on the line if they hesitate. They aren't robots. Humans make mistakes. When they do you take the normal course of action to see if it was intentional and if theyre a risk in the future or if they made the best decision considering the circumstance. I don't get along with cops but I would never try to judge one without witnessing firsthand the entire situation. Too many variables.

    People get too emotional.
