There is a reason for this. I remember initially watching BLM protest with a sense not dissimilar to watching to OWS protests, but as they were becoming a little more fiery if your permit this little joke, my disposition started to change rather drastically. I am sympathetic, but there are limits and, to be perfectly honest, if you look at historical records, police is nowhere near as aggressive as they have once been ( for a good reason, as a society we see some things as not acceptable now ).
I dislike police having too much power ( but I dislike any group having too much power ). I want balance. It does mean some consequences, but it also does mean cops have the power to do what needs to be done when it is necessary ( one's definition of 'necessary' will differ.. and here likely we will disagree ).
edit: changed need to do
