I'm the first one to bash police use of force, but if I'm in that situation surrounded by literally dozens of folks smashing my windows (the back window IS smashed), I certainly would fear for my life and act exactly the same way.
This is the problem with the left, and why they fail so often on topics that should be slam dunk wins for them.
Libtards are especially adept at finding a worthy cause, getting support for change, and then swinging the pendulum so far in the other direction they lose support from the moderates they need on their side for any real change. We saw it with racial reforms morphing into reparations and affirmative action, gay rights morphing into arguments over what bathroom folks use, climate change reforms turning into the green new deal, and now with police brutality protests turning into a license to do anything illegal justified by some notion that police should not exist or just sit there like statues and tolerate anything.
As usual, only the extremes here in trumplandia.
