Using your post as a springboard. Maybe someone ought to hold the occupants and driver of the paddy wagon gone wild while Mr. Gray was being transported responsible. Isn't it time the GOOD cops are tired of cleaning up after the bad ones? while the bad ones on desk duty or are on leave with pay? They're home safe somewhere, while their law abiding peers are out being endangers while battling the chaos they caused.
We can all argue back and forth about peaceful and non peaceful or rioters, but until those responsible are held accountable and are prosecuted appropriately, this is going to continue, over and over and over and over.
Pretty much this. It's just going to get more violent and bloodier on both sides. Each side will continue to up the ante, trying to meet more force with more force of their own, simply leading to the other side, well you get the picture. Said it in the Ferguson threads and will say it here. All sides just need to step the F back and sit down, take a deep breath and say it is time for ALL to take responsibility. Citizens that break the law are expected to be arrested and tried. Likewise, cops that break the law, exceed/abuse their authority and/or violate constitutional rights should be punished too, not protected. Until that day comes, it's just going to get worse.
