@Frank Whilst I loathe the idea of CRT, I'm not sure that effectively banning it from half the country is the way to go. Not sure which IS the way to go mind.
If you think its bullshit and harmful, you don't teach it. Right??

More that I feel a heavy handed approach could be counter productive

One officer to be indicted, but only for reckless endangerment. Turns out they did knock despite what was commonly believed. Peaceful protesting is starting to intensify against people with the absolute gall to own/work a local business whilst having white skin.

Kicking off in Louisville. Protesters have moved on from harassing residents to now smashing businesses and homes and setting fires. Police under attack, 2 officers shot so far, both in stable condition in hospital, one in surgery. National Guard has set up a perimeter around the hospital as blm are likely to want to finish the job. Videos from other cities around the US of other BLM protestors destroying restaurants, peoples card windows and harassing citizens.
And Joe Biden has responded:
Will be interesting how this is all reported. Mostly peaceful protest headlines again?

They reckon this type of thing is a frequent sight ,
Commercial Trucks delivering equipment for the protesters/ rioters to use , I remember seeing one bit of footage where there were commercial crates of objects like small bricks and rocks for throwing that had been dropped off on the side of the road ,
Which is part of the reason causing people to ask, who is funding all of this ?

No respect for the American justice system, Joe?

@MajorRage do they care?
Exactly
I think they honestly think they are more important than the presidential race.

EDIT MOD: Rather graphic, so I have put a spoiler on it so those don't want to watch it, don't have to.

@Rembrandt Fuck, that is appalling. Who'd do that job?

If they go ape shit over that then there's no hope

@Rembrandt Another excellent example of why Americans need to properly fund their police departments so that they can recruit and train effectively. Not having someone who squeals and becomes fixated in terror.

@antipodean She just needed to draw her gun and blow his head off once he came at her with the knife.

On reflection I may be a little harsh given my experience is much more binary than the operating circumstances they have to deal with. But if you freeze you end up like old people frantically smashing the brake pedal through the firewall, only to find the car keeps accelerating, bumping off cars and people in the carpark because your foot is actually on the accelerator.
