How many times do i need to explain that i support peaceful protests against police brutality.. yall keep saying the same dumb shut over and over.
In this scenario, What is the social injustice?
The cops responsible were arrested within 5 days and are facing murder charges.
Meanwhile, 28 other people - majority of them black - have been killed during the protests.
Not to mention destroyed black communities from the rioting.
But if you can explain the social injustice that is being protested, I'm all ears.
again, you still think the protests are just about one incident
you either are willfully ignoring that it's about more or just too stupid
still would love the citations and sources for the 28 deaths
you still going with the whitewashing "peaceful protest" line/thinking too

Where is the injustice of someone being arrested and charged for murder?
and we STILL have to get around the "covid is bad and deadly and you can't go to church, and locksown protests mean your a granny killing white supremacist"... "but you can protest a cause I like" logic
where did someone say that is injustice?
also, what weird definition are you using where just charging people with crimes is justice?
why do you still think the protests are just about this one incident still?

many protests might be 99% peaceful protesters, but you will have that 1% antifan chucklehead element...cities like oakland, portland, and seattle actually have a lot of experience dealing with this...it happens every time there is a protest in those places...the police in those cities know the worst thing they can do is overreact...if they do the crowds get bigger and angrier and it becomes more difficult to isolate and arrest the antifan chuckleheads...and the property damage gets bigger
it is really a question of calibrating the law enforcement response to the reality that people in a protest will have different objectives

i have seen way more good protesters either turn in bad protesters to cops or try to stop protesters from damaging the window you so dearly care about
as opposed to any cop to step up and stop a cop from beating the living **** out of someone just standing there or spraying them in the face with pepper spray etc etc etc
i love that you still here bootlicking for them though

bad apples are an issue both with police and protestors
i think with police there is the additional issue that culture/unions are a very powerful force against reform...it is a reality that has to be taken into account...no one advocates abolishing police, but I think what Camden did is a model some cities might want to look at

Which part of "I'm not exactly a supporter of protests during a pandemic" was hard for you to understand?
You can be both wary of the risks of protesting during a pandemic while also acknowledging this a vastly different situation than going to a concert or a baseball game.

The injustice is that police felt so empowered that this was an ok use of force in the first place. I know it's difficult for you to grasp, but this country tends to have a history of targeting black people, and police officers have a history of abusing their authority. It's a crazy notion, I know.

Another aspect to this comparison that is being overlooked is that you actually have to be hired as a cop. Anyone can just show up and be a protestor. Cops are hired. Bad cops are hired. There is a problem with the system that is allowing this people to not only get the job, but keep it long after they should've been fired.
