Police do a bad thing: "You can't blame all cops for a few bad apples in isolated incidents."
Protesters do a bad thing: "Pathetic rioters! Ungrateful youths! Sit down and do as you're told!"
- vinay427 11y agoNo one's saying that. My comment simply mentioned that cinder blocks were apparently being thrown at firefighters by some protesters. I fully support peaceful protests as they are an effective way to enact change, but violent acts really only harm innocents and turn public support away.
- Lancey 11y agoI meant that as a response to crusso. When protesters throw things, it's a blight on all protesters, but when cops throw things, it's just an incident.
- crusso 11y agoIs there a need to twist what I said? I didn't generalize the cops or the protesters. The poster to whom I was replying stated that the cops "helped start the riots" by throwing objects. I pointed out the problem with that argument, but I'm not excusing the police categorically.
