Don't get me wrong, I support blm's cause fully, but this is a poor example because the police were actually behaving appropriately.

Maybe but it is funny at the amount of people going 'pff this was STAGED' like yeah so what?

But that happened to people here too. People forget poo poo really fast.

I think most black people do know that better than the average white person and it's why there is still so much anger and mistrust of the government in their communities.

I think the greater point that is wooshing over your heads is not that the police were behaving inappropriately but more that they look like stormtroopers occupying a foreign land.

They can't at least put POLICE on the front of that armor?

Or act like members of the community themselves as opposed to what they are doing there?

Again, they have a reason to be dressed and acting like they are and while it's not the fault of the people protesting (it's the fault of the guy that fuckin sniped the other police officers), acting like something that serious is an isolated incident without knowing whether it is or not would be a real dumb thing to do

They literally only armoured up in the immediate wake of being sniped while trying not to wear armour on account of your exact argument. Police presence is necessary at protests, for the protesters sake as much as anyone else. It does suck that police are so heavily militarised and that the design of their armour is so intimidating, but I also don't think painting that poo poo soothing mental ward baby blue is top priority in fixing things.

Moridin kind of has a point though, if you can't read, don't listen to the radio, don't watch TV, don't look at newspaper pictures, never leave your parent's basement or talk to other humans, I can totally see how you'd not realize the people in police riot gear, holding a line in a standard riot police formation and driving cars with "police" written on them could actually be police officers, and that's got to change
