Exactly....and with less justifiable reasons. And the protests mainly began in the 60s. There weren't that many protests going on in the 50s. And the protests in the 60s were definitely more justified than the BLM crap today. It should actually be a crime to even talk about the two situations as if there was some kind of comparison. People protesting in the 60s had legitimate gripes. Very serious ones. Today, in spite of isolated cases that the media & other agitators like to constantly dwell upon, if it wasn't for crime...petty and otherwise...there wouldn't be all that much to protest about regarding the police. The police have just been driven to the breaking point from constantly having to deal with guns, gangs & drugs in the inner cities which have become virtual war zones in many areas. In fact, I don't see how they get anyone at any price to take a job as a policeman in these areas. And now the Democrats are effectively acting as enablers in the assassination of police officers by their tacit endorsement of groups who openly spew their hatred & animosity toward the police. It will never happen, of course, but the police should just pull completely out of the major cities for about a month and let the gangs patrol the cities, since the people the police are trying to protect don't appreciate anything they are doing. Maybe some of the people on this board could help patrol some of these cities, since they don't seem to have anything else to do except post on a message board all day and they are also constantly bitching about the police. RJ could get off his lazy fat ass and help patrol LA, for example. PH could help out down in Florida. He despises the police...and has all the answers. And he should have plenty of time. He's supposed to be working a full-time job and raising a family, but he's still had time to make more than 1,000 posts per month on this message board every month for the last 5 1/2 years. That's averaging more than 30 posts every day for more than 5 years. Numbers could help out in Boston and Townie in Philadelphia. None of them think that the police are worth a damn....and all of them have all of the answers.
