Two NYPD patrolman murdered. Now I don't know what to think. I am a white liberal. I protested. You all know about what. These murders were not done by the people protesting. They were done by some wack job. But the protesters will probably be blamed. This whole situation has become insane. My heart goes out to the slain officers loved ones. I'm out of it, now. Until people get a grip. There is an atmosphere of violence in the Big Apple that has become dangerous to those of us who desire peaceful protest to bring about change. Darker days lie ahead New Yorkers. Be aware. And ask yourself: Is this normal?

    An eye for an eye is a horrible mentality to have. Those police officers are out there doing their job, they have families to go home to. For all we know, those two police officers could've have been innocent. He murdered them. Think about their poor families and how they must feel. It's true that police brutality and racial profiling is an important issue in this country but, doing the same things that bad cops have done is wrong. It solves nothing. It only creates more strife.

    Don't forget the slain officer in Florida, too.
    Unfortunately, as soon as the rioting and looting begins, I couldn't give a flying fuck why these folks are angry, I have no more sympathy for any of them. How does looting, throwing bricks through business windows and burning cars help those killed?
    Nope, it's all about greed, and some use any tragedy as an excuse. They should mow em all down with machine guns and bulldoze the bodies into a mass grave and pave over it. No sympathy at all for looters and rioters.

    I wholeheartedly believe that violence is a legitimate form of protest. A totally peaceful protest which doesn't offend anyone isn't a worthwhile protest. It isn't challenging the power structures that you're protesting against. It isn't forcing anyone to confront the part they play in allowing injustice to continue. When most people say "peaceful protest", what they mean is a protest which they can choose to ignore, one which doesn't put them through the discomfort of introspection. Those protests are pointless, and that isn't a radical idea. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that "a riot is the language of the unheard".

    That said, this man who killed the police officers doesn't sound like a political protester. His actions seem more consistent with a standard crazy gunman than with a political martyr. As far as I'm aware he didn't even leave a manifesto. He also shot his girlfriend, which doesn't sound like a political move at all.

    Be on the side of humanity. Ferguson was not the first case of authority vs. civilian and radical violence has been blamed on the not at fault protesters before. Look up Alexandros Grigoropoulos. The police posed themselves as violent protesters.

    You are feeding into the fear. The bottom line is that killing each other is wrong no matter who it is. Race is part of the problem, but the problem is bigger than race. The problem is hate. They are trying to lead us to hate one another, turn us all against each other, and the only thing we can do is everything in our power to not hate people.
