I don't see this relating to gun control, or guns in general.

However, it is a legitimate civil rights issue, so I'm moving it to L&CR. Before posting, please familiarize yourself with the rules specific to this subforum.

Also, bear in mind that we won't tolerate generalized bashing of law enforcement. The relevant issue is the mindset of policymakers and the top brass.

Those are the people who petitioned for all this milsurp equipment and ninja gear. Those are the people who responded to one night of looting by persecuting the people who didn't do it on subsequent nights, and who chose to do so with a hamhanded show of force.

Threatening and inflicting violence (yes, tear gas counts) on peaceful protesters is something that should set all our teeth on edge. The question is, how do we change that?
