I think there also has to be some acceptance that some of these things will trade lives for other goals.  I'm sure that if every cop drives around in full combat gear in armored vehicles, less of them will be killed in the line of duty than without those things, but cops coming home is not the one and only goal of policing.

Then you are ignorant of their/our general mindset. That is exactly what is in the forefront of their/our minds. It is drilled into their/our heads at the academies, training, even daily.

Not meaning to be snippy, just stating facts, however misguided or misinterpreted that mindset is.

1. You want to demilitarize the police, then demilitarize the civilians. One of the key WTF moments for police departments was the LA Shootout. Just like Columbine was the WTF for active shooters.

2. Do away with police unions, guilds, etc.

3. Defund...dicey. What are you going to defund? See #1

4. Body cam yes. If not turned on or switched off. Immediately terminate.

5. Etc

6. Etc

If black lives matter can protest then so can we, today we visited Westminster bridge, the Cenotaph and Downing street to stand up for those being demonized for the colour of their skin, white people.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Kicking a cop in the shin is not a good idea.

Seems minor compared to what the cops are getting away with.

Kicking one cop for each protestor that gets pushed to the ground is not going to help the cause.

It isn't that you should kick cops and not get in trouble but the reaction here seems a bit disproportionate. Besides how is taking somebody's property not a violation of the 5th Amendment to the Constitution? Isn't there supposed to be a trial before penalties are applied?

The only thing confusing is the car tow. The rest of it seems like yeah that's what happens when you assault a police officer?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

In today's climate you have to be thankful that it didn't get TOWed.
