The media inverts everything, it's how they make money right now and it's awful. CNN anchors are literally one Baghdad Bob after another. The most hilarious memes right now are those with "mostly peaceful" protests where behind the anchor huge fires are raging.

- huntermeyer 6y agoWhen I hear people say "mostly peaceful" when referring to the protests and "a few bad apples" when referring to police I like to remind them of the fact that the peaceful majority are irrelevant when there are radicals in their ranks. Just look back at the lesson of history. https://youtu.be/YnOF7y-KuHE?t=127 https://youtu.be/YnOF7y-KuHE?t=127
- vkou 6y agoThe difference between the two groups is that one is organized, and its leadership has an obligation to control the behaviour of its members. There's no chief-of-a-protest who can take administrative action against some anonymous drunk idiot throwing a brick into a window. There is, however, a chief-of-police who can theoretically do the same about the, ah, bad apples. Practically, the various chiefs of police seem to be doing everything they can to protect those bad apples from the consequences of their behaviour. Also, between civilians and police, the police should know better. We give them guns and a mandate to uphold the law, and pay them lots of money to do so. But instead of zero tolerance for criminal behaviour in their ranks, it's all coverups, collusion, the thin blue line, punishing whistleblowers, and lobbying for legislature that grants them them immunity to the consequences.
