It's disgusting how quickly those who have commented here have bent over and taken the Billy club up the poop shoot of the increasingly militarized police force.
Hm? Not at all. I'm deeply in the "Chauvin is clearly innocent" camp, but I can advocate for heavily militarized police while also advocating for not bending over for them.
The government must never have a monopoly on violence; civilians must be capable of being armed heavily enough to deny the government trampling all over their rights. Consequently, if law enforcement is to be effective then it must be armed enough to deal with the occasional tank-driving rando.
With all the power the Biden administration is giving to the Mexican and Colombian cartels who are hourly smuggling drugs, guns and people across the southern border, our police need to have militarized weapons now.
Congrats. You all finally got an opportunity of a justified use of force to hold up and use as evidence that the police aren't overwhelmingly heavy handed when dealing with people.
As if this single incident justifies the multiple murders and assaults of black Americans.

This single incident does nothing to discredit the wide spread use of uneccesary lethal force across the nation.
Further more I've heard nothing of this incident being a poster child for BLM and this bullshit excuse of an article just builds a straw man argument to shit all over the justified demand for police reform and restraint.
