If the French #Police will go round dressed provocatively and in high performance cars with attention seeking lights and sirens they're only going to inflame the situation. Reckless.

"But Laz, you need the Police to protect you (fellow white man)"

These two stories happened in my neighbourhood.
The woman was snatched off the top of my street and murdered by an off duty police officer who was a known danger but his mates covered for him until he murdered someone.
The guy was murdered by Police down the other end of my road in a very similar story to what happened in France, there's a memorial to him I pass every time I go to the shops

They aren't here for you or I

@Lazarou Okay. My practical question (and I'm sympathetic to the cause, btw) is this: What do people expect the police to do when they are witnessing arson and looting right now? Just...let it go? Let people just destroy stores, put others out of a job, burn entire city blocks. Just..stand aside?

What do they do if some people start assaulting women because they're just "pissed off at the system”? Just..stand there doing nothing? What?

What's the actual practical solution?

@summeremacs @Lazarou
"Looting" is the purpose of the entire global economy, and the seething societies shaped by it...why so concerned when the looted loot back?
What "cause" is it you're "sympathetic to", btw?

@CrypticCatfist @Lazarou I'm sympathetic to the calls that the police have sometimes used incredible amounts of excessive force. I am not sympathetic to targeting innocents in response.

From your statement, I suppose that if my store were looted and burned, my feelings of anger would be justified in looting and burning HLM buildings as a response? Would that be ok? Or, are my feelings less *valuable* than the feelings of others when determining what is a crime?

@CrypticCatfist @Lazarou And what about if it wasn't a store of mine. What if I'm just sleeping in my apartment and it catches fire because the store next to me was looted and burned, and then it burns my entire life along with it? You think that's okay? That's justified? You think that's reasonable as a response? By your logic, I should then be allowed to take it out on other innocent people just because I've been hurt and upset. Correct?

@summeremacs @Lazarou the political solution can only be deescalation from both sides. But that’s not what putin wants so social media will try to escalate this even more.
