Because the republicans outwardly and vigorously support police. The dems only seem to complain about police. Liberal groups have had huge demonstrations where they shout " What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? NOW!" And liberals largely ignored it. Liberals falsely accuses Darrin Wilson of murder. Conservatives did not. Liberals have still not acknowledged that he did nothing wrong and was destroyed by them.
Who is telling people to comply with police? If I were a civil rights leader, I would tell people that the police are not out to harm you. If confronted by a police officer, simply be respectful and compliant and you will not be injured. Good idea?
So when an African American, waiting by his broken down vehicle, waiting for help, is needlessly shot and killed by police, we should applaud the police?
The key is to be respectful while also standing firm, to know your rights, and to be able to cite the statutes needed to protect you from corrupt authorities. It’s always a good idea to record your encounters with the police. Live stream is preferable so they can’t destroy your evidence.
There are a lot of attorneys out there that will take your case at no upfront cost to you if you have clear video proof of them violating your rights/committing a felony.
Survive the encounter, then strike at their legal weaknesses.
Yes! Absolutely! Nearly all 700,000 of them. They don’t need to be convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Then I would send the one guilty cop to prison.
I would also make it clear that everyone should completely comply with police and you will not be harmed.
Now a question for you. Why do you suppose that liberals rushed to judgement and pre-convicted Darrin Wilson? Conservatives did not. Is he owed an apology?
Then straighten me out. Give me a clue. Which civil rights leader is telling people to respectfully comply with police orders when confronted by an officer? This works nearly 100 percent of the time. I’ll wait.
Maybe you don’t speak for all liberals. But all liberals pre convicted Wilson and none had the decency to admit they were wrong. Conservatives didn’t have that problem.
