Look at how many here see the police. You see daily outrage over how the police are handling the "peaceful protesters" but not a word about the violence and insults directed against the police. The police aren't throwing rocks and bottles, nor setting fires, nor spray painting private property. Yet the police are described across the board as thugs.
The video of the elderly couple in Rochester (I think it was Rochester) being hit over the head by 2x4s by "peaceful protestors" received few comments at all here.
Some weeks back our champion poster posted a video of Ahmaud Arbery, being rousted by the police (in his mind) as proof that the police are thugs and just looking to push people around. If you review the video, the police were obviously responding to a suspicious situation, were overly polite to Arbery, Arbery was profane and confrontational and the police let him walk away when they could have arrested him for an expired registration (or license. Can't remember which). So the video actually proves the opposite of what the poster was trying to make the rest of this crowd believe. When I asked for an explanation, it was ignored (unless I missed it.)
Point is that people mislead here all the time and others just go along with the ride.
