When that becomes an issue, we'll address it. Police still have weapons and tools to address violence, but they shouldn't be bringing them to peaceful protests.

Edit to address your edit: When you bring that question to the current discussion around the current police brutality, it appears that you are trying to draw a line between the two OR trying to reframe/divert the conversation. It's a common tactic used by trolls online (not saying you are trolling, but your question probably trigger the immune response many people have to trolls online.)
If it's a serious question, I'd ask it on its own and see if you can get any engagement.
- systemvoltage 6y agoI've been pretty careful about phrasing it as I know the trolls. But I am afraid that we cannot discuss all sides of the equation even though they are uncomfortable. This is the drowning of the voices, the chilling effect of a massive momentum where certain things will inevitably get tramped. Allowing discussion in a polite, unbiased manner should not be met with opposition, but with objective refutal if you have any. Just saying "When that becomes an issue, we'll address it" is inadequate as that just screams of going too far, removing law and order and turning this place into a total anarchy. Yes, this is the trolling narrative as well - I fully recognize it. I want peace in the world. Law and order and uplifting of the nation, a unification of both left and right into doing what's right for progress. Yes, we are stuck in chaos of echo chambers.
