[QUOTE="Not Mike Brown's Sock, post: 1034343, member: 72041"] To achieve what exactly in this particular incident? What needs to be heard? If it's the fact that police officers should know the difference between a gun and a taser, then absolutely fair enough, but that's not what the riots are about. I would also suggest that the idea of who is "on the side of black americans" is identity politics at it's worst. One can both be deeply against the rioting and violence perpetuated by BLM, but also still be wholeheartedly want the best for that community. If anything, BLM is damaging the community it supposedly is "on the side of". You said: What would you propose they were over equipped with? If that wasn't your point and you meant to say in relation to their training then fair enough - but that's not what you said. I'd suggest they probably need both pieces of equiptment [B]and [/B]better training, rather than subbing one for the other [/QUOTE]
