policing of nutjobs and criminals have been around in one former or another ever since shortly after the first theft
the first theft occurred shortly after some item was determined to be of value. likely food or a cave woman
But we are talking about police - not law enforcement.
It might just be that people who talk about defunding the police aren't confusing the two like you are.

How am I 'acting tough'?
I am just observing that your posts seem like the posts of a nervous person.
That's all.
No 'acting tough' here... but your nerves might disagree.
Yeah sure tough guy
I made it clear I am not threatened or scared by your threats to change my world
you just repeat "your scared" as you do not have anything intelligent to say

I find your behavior revolting as you prompt violence chaos and destruction and most rational people recognize this as evil and self destructive
But then I just recall you are some goofy teenager acting tough on the internet

Grow up, assume some responsibility in life or you will self -destruct

Thanks boomer.
Do you really think that your "I'm your elder, so shut the fuck up" shtick actually works?
Get a clue, dude.

methinks?
I really wish you would start to think

The police presence is to protect peoples right to peacefully protest and protect public / private property

Apparently you & your despicable mob ruled friends do not understand what peacefully means.
The arrive armed with frozen water bottle projectiles, paint filled balloons, rocks and slingshots as well as face masks to prevent being identified.
They have zero intention of peacefully protesting. Rather they have premeditated intentions of destroying property and harming police.

This will end badly for you
Seems to me the police showing armed with weaponry and body armor aren't there to listen and de-escalate either.

Also note it's only when the protests get big, loud and violent the powers listen and do something.

They aren't out there for shits and giggles. They are out there fighting for justice.

Yes they are.
You just want to demean them in order to justify not listening to them.
But if you don't, they'll be out on the streets again.

Yes they are. Perhaps you don't agree with them but their cause is indeed about Justice.

And the recent tactics used in Portland prove it.

Seems to me the police should be armed with weaponry and body armor when lunatics are throwing frozen water bottles at them

Its called a mob & yes the powers need to do something, otherwise a mob will destroy property and hurt people

They aren't out there for shits and giggles. They are out there fighting for justice.
By looting & destroying property?
That is not justice, that is anarchy

Your welcome sonny

Do you really think that your "I'm your elder, so shut the fuck up" shtick actually works?
Sure it does
You obviously have never gained any wisdom which comes from accepting responsibility in life , so you are in desperate need of some guidance.
I am just trying to help

Get a clue, dude.
Well the first clue is observing a young fool advocating chaos, destruction and violence.
Nobody that has every assumed any responsibility in life would advocate that
The second clue is you are a very angry individual, who does not really understand who you mad at.
You are mad at all white people who's great. great, great , great grand daddy, may have owned slaves
Gee you are mad at a whole race of people for events they had zero control over And oddly you are protesting Racism. Are you that stunned that you do not see the irony in that?
The third clue is you think you can change society with violence, chaos and destruction No intelligent person, no-one who has accepted responsibility in life will agree with you.

All these clues point to a clueless angry teenage threaten people on the internet

The minute they became violent any claim of justice was lost.
Martin Luther King and Gandhi knew this and they frustrated the hell out of their opposition by protesting peacefully.
They also made a lot of progress

The vast majority of people are rational and more than willing to listen to peaceful protesters
The minute protest become violent, the same rational people switch to "what are these idiots doing?

And the recent tactics used in Portland prove it.
And the frozen water bottle projectiles prove their cause is indeed not about Justice
Mob rule has nothing to do with justice

And the police are obviously not there to 'serve and protect'.
But you don't care about that.
Sure they are there to serve and protect
Stop advocating violence, chaos and destruction and you might just find that out
But violence, chaos and destruction is what you want, so you will remain ignorant of reality

The minute the police became violent first on a day to day basis they lost the moral authority to determine what is peaceful protest. And the minute govt passed unjust laws( 94 crime bill and the Patriot Act) they also lost that argument.

Power doesn't give up power without a fight.

Rational people yes.....

Powerful people need to be forced. And the present powers are not rational.

You obviously have never studied a single revolution in the history of the world.
Your posts really make you out as someone who is scared and frantically hoping that his 'words' will make a difference this time.

But, they're not destroying the properties of the "powerful", are they? More so, in the cities most affected by the daily violence, the powers that run the cities are clearly on the side of mayhem and very reluctant to take action against the mob.

So apparently it is not about BLM, rather this is about Donald Trump

There is this thing called an election
It was designed so that power is peacefully transferred to the majorities choice
It was also designed to prevent the use of force as the deciding factor
