It’s beyond me how anyone can be offended by anything Adam has posted in the last few days as it all boils down to “Black Lives Matter” and social justice.
If that’s offensive to you, thanks for exposing yourself.
It’s not like we’re discussing if pineapple belongs on a pizza.
Also, I just can’t help but shake my head in the general direction of anyone who tries to use instigators and looters, who are in the minority, as an excuse to write off the entire movement and the cause the protesters are supporting. It’s just another form of whataboutism and pivoting to avoid discussing the real issue at the bottom of current events.

There should be NO difference of opinion when you're talking about innocent people getting killed by the police especially when it's disproportionately black people. How can you possibly disagree that it's wrong? I think that's Adam's point. A lot of my family on hubby's side are law enforcement. My father-in-law is a retired Chief of Police. He said the other day that a thorough cleanup needs to be done by each and every department...too many bad apples and they're giving the entire profession a bad name, and is making it more difficult for every cop to do their job.

syca, I like hearing a perspective from someone like you who has family members who have been in law enforcement. Most cops are just trying to do their best under very difficult circumstances. They have to make split-second decisions that seem right a the time. Hindsight is always 20/20. Good cops know full well that there are too many bad cops who give them all a bad name. I think we'll see lots of substantive changes coming in law enforcement very soon.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I can't see what Cheriemelissa posted here. It says "sorry, this image is currently unavailable, photobucket". Is this an issue that Atop is having with Photobucket? I never use Photobucket, so I'm thinking it's not my computer?
