I think there are two messages to be heard - stop police brutality (racial or otherwise) and stop the anarchy, that dilutes the original message


Can't have it both ways

I just think it’s weird how some people will lump protesters and rioters together in one breath and then in another say a few bad cops shouldn’t spoil the whole bunch. Why doesn’t the same logic apply in both cases? Doesn't make sense but my prayer is that all this is upheaval is not in vain. We have to come out of this better that when we came in.


I am saying it applies in both cases

Not all protesters were rioters/anarchists - not all police are bad.
I think the real solution is that neither group is policing their own.
The protesters should have stopped the burning and looting.
The police need to quit covering up and remove the bad apples.

The innocent people who lost their stores and businesses and their lives in Oakland deserve justice, too.
