No justice, No peace.

This could have been prevented by simply doing to the Police what would have been done to any citizen that did what they did. Areest-Jail & the prosecute in a court of law. Fair enough I'd say.

They had that chance.Id wager Barr put the kabosh on any criminal actions against the local PD just to incite this.

Destroy all the things and not rebuild it. The community falls into terrible condition. It’s long game punishment.

It also paints a picture of the police having to deal with people who can get out of control at a moments notice. If they had wants to prevent this, they could have, even without bringing charges immediately. Seeing that the chief of police is a Trumpster I would bet the police force has been an issue for a long time.

The cop should pay for what he done but taking it out on other people that did nothing to you is wrong. Can we agree on this?

Never get this. Scaring the crap out of the elderly and youngsters in these areas, never mind just the regular hard working people in these neighborhoods. What a damn shame. Simply increasing rump supporters.
