I feel like pretty soon it will be considered racist to complain about the rioting.

Broken or mods....or both?My SRT currently
Oh yeah, that was WILD. I've been thinking about going to the day protest here, I'm just burnt out on this year already so IDK if i will or not.
Doh!
Doh!
Isnt broken just an excuse for mods?
I mean, the stock parts clearly weren't good enough if they broke.
Twitter is almost a pure form of HIV.
I think some still want the other 3 officers charged as well. That's neither here or there cause it's a shit show now.
Broken, and it was stock. I'm embarrassed to say what happened lol.
Like @nomoretickets said, it's just an excuse to ad mods now. Will be cam/full bolt ons when it goes back in. Thinking of adding a small shot too
I want to start off by saying I respect your opinion (and 2KBlackGT). I got a little heated at first because I am really upset by those rioting. They are destroying people and property and destroying the message peaceful protestors are trying to convey.
I do need to address your viewpoint of these other protests though as you are being somewhat hypocritical.
The Covid protest were to stop these lockdowns so people don't go into financial ruin and prevent the loss of life growing exponentially. What you call petty is anything but that for those businesses and livelihoods being destroyed. The 2nd amendment defense protest are to prevent a tyrannical government from dominating the citizens and also making sure we can defend our families.
I would think you would be for both of these things given your grievance here against the police. You say the black community is tired of being killed by police. Well those suffering from the lockdown are tired of being forced into financial ruin (which often times leads to death).
Being a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment should be paramount for those in those communities who feel the government is targeting and killing them via the police. Then they can defend themselves against bad police.
I would think that you could get behind both of these things if you look at them from an unbiased perspective. Just like I can understand how minority communities feel targeted. Whether it is real or perceived remains to be seen but the perception is definitely there. I can sympathize with it and have compassion for them.
I have zero problems with protesters
It may not be a conspiracy but the events are being played by the media. DJT said nothing bad about protesting but called out rioting and looting.( posing in front of the church with the Bible not a smart move IMO, that’s another topic)
The rioters certainly forgot what it’s all about.

Your post made me look up and learn that the officer had 19 years on. Can any police on here tell us if roughly one complain a year is a concern or normal?

I respect your opinion too. I know I came in here hot and ready to rock, and for that I offer my apology. Thank you for being willing to engage in a real conversation. I get that you got heated. This is a tough topic. I know Im probably in the political minority on this site, but sitting in my echo chamber is just mental masturbation: sure it might feel good but in the end im only playing with myself. So thank you for being open to actually talking.
Those grievances you highlighted are perfectly reasonable. And I agree with those points entirely. No one should face financial ruin from the shutdowns, but when the deathtoll and infection rate is skyrocketing, does anyone really think its of crucial importance that nail salons and massage parlors be open for business? Did the media amplify that aspect of the covid protests over others? Probably. But I still think on those issues we all have more in common than what separates us. Neither of us want people to die from this disease, and neither of us want small businesses to fail. I think we can do both. And responsible gun ownership is perfectly fine with me. I dont own a gun, but thats my choice. I have no problem with lawful gun ownership. At the same time, I do not necessarily get why responsible gun ownership needs to extend to the right to openly carry an AT-4 into a Starbucks, and I really hope we can all agree that that is pushing the bounds of common sense.
Part of the problem is that most police keep files sealed. So individual officers might be able to give annecdotal responses, but theres not a uniform way to look at whats normal, how it varies by region, what exactly triggers an internal affairs investigation and the formal opening of a file, etc.
Imagine being this willfully delusional. When you have nothing to offer, lie.
