      Because they’re cowards. Violent cowards who revel in oppression. The worst kind of coward.

        They’re bullies.

        Both the cowardice in the face of actual risk to themselves and the senseless use of violence when they feel safe against those who can or won’t resist in a way that endagers them, are core bully traits.

    Never forget that CA governor Ronald Reagan pushed for a law against folks exercising their second amendment rights to bear arms while patrolling and protecting their communities.

    Those folks? The Black Panthers.

    Both Republicans and Democrats in California supported increased gun control, as did the National Rifle Association of America.

    I am basically afraid of getting on some kind of dissenter’s list by up voting this one.

    Yeah, they’re bullies. They want to beat/kill unarmed minorities and college students for “not respecting their authority” (exercising their constitutional rights), not actually uphold the law. Cowards…

      I mean sure but then we are absolutely asking for a massacre and internal war.

      Guns only work if you are willing to use them. And once we are, we are saying we don’t find police presence valid and the state comes crashing down upon you to end your pitiful existence for posing an internal threat.

      We are a country with essentially a bad auto-immune disease that attacks whatever it deems as foreign.

      Says the guy sitting safely in front of his PC, never having been to a single protest. Sure buddy, you tell them.

    Not at all wrong. I hate to use this word because it denigrates our wonderful lady friends (both bio and of choice), but cops are pussies. Like the ultimate ones. “look at me! I’m a badass cop gonna violate your rights! Back the Blue!” Let’s see what my lawyer has to say about your “badassery”. I thought so, bitch. Here’s a coupon code for Dunkin. Go away.

    The solution is clear, protesters and school shooters need to put aside their differences and team up.
