I don't mean 'radical' in the form of the Weather Underground, SDS, etc- it's all by comparison to what has become of 'the middle'.
I'm not advocating for ANY violence- I was just asking about the shift toward the right. I think anyone who uses language that would incite violence needs to be shut down, too. There's no room for that in a civilized society and should never come from anyone in government.
Have you heard of BLM trying to make change by meeting with city, state, federal or heads of law enforcement agencies and presenting the case that deaths at the hands of Police need to end? I haven't. Have you heard or seen them trying to make changes in anything else? I haven't.
I don't know if you have seen anything about it, but a former cop in Wauwatosa part of Milwaukee) killed someone at a mall, where BLM and others caused a lot of problems not only at the mall, but in the city. First, that's the wrong way to go about making their point and second, the details hadn't been released, so they didn't know that the guy who was killed had fired first. I have seen news reports about it and if the facts presented were accurate, the city, DA and others have a problem because one detail would be almost impossible. The cop had killed two others in the line of duty, so this makes three killed in five years- he shouldn't have been allowed to be on the force or on patrol- I don't know how someone who killed three in that line of work could be unaffected by it or able to do that job properly. He has since resigned, but he also received a recommendation from the chief and has since become a member of another police department- the chief is retiring in June and I hope people will make the message clear to the other department that he shouldn't be in a position that requires carrying a gun.
BTW- he's not White.
