Surely you're joking. > America was founded on the rule of law and respect for authority. Are we talking about the same nation that was formed in an armed rebellion against a monarchy? > These people in Baltimore... Which people, exactly? As in, how many mistakes are you willing to tolerate as the authorities attempt to positively identify and subdue just the rioters? > ...should be met with overwhelming (and lethal if necessary) force by the government. So your solution to a problem that started when authorities allowed a citizen to die in their custody is to double down and wield more violence against those citizens -- and then to raise the stakes by dropping all pretext of justice and simply killing everyone involved in order to bring them back in line? I honestly hope you're trolling -- the alternative is terrifying.
