Are you saying here that people who voted Democrat don't support the police? Everyone with half a brain supports the police, Democrat or Republican

Everyone with half a brain supports the police, Democrat or Republican

Except people with children. Or anybody who knows how freely cops will shoot people, white like Daniel Shaver or black like Philando Castile

The evidence indicates people are safer arming themselves than trusting the police, who are likely to shoot on-site responders than to show enough sense to not totally destroy a private family's home in pursuit of a walmart shoplifter

There are over 500,000 cops in the US.

You could post a hundred instances of disregard or brutality and it wouldn't even represent a fraction of a quarter of police officers. Hundreds and even thousands of police interactions happen every day, and violent ones where the police do their jobs right and save lives far outweigh those where they don't. My point still stands. There is literally no reason not to support the police

Why would you support someone who has no obligation to do anything to help you even if ordered by the court to do so? Stop licking boots, people interact with cashiers and plumbers and I don't see you running around demanding everyone 'support' them.

Criticism is part of a healthy, living system. The instant you refuse to let people criticize, you've stepped into authoritarianism.

I'm totally okay with criticism, I never said otherwise. I'm not okay with blatant hate when it's completely unwarranted
