The cops started it; they deserve it. Plain and simple. It was a peaceful protest which was broken up by unwarranted attacks on innocents. If you attack someone, they should and will fight back.
if you havnt noticed, she is a sweet girl that wants everyone to be friends and love each other and wants to believe the best about people. there is nothing wrong with that. its admirable
If they were less protected, it would invite more shots. I have no problem with the people who are supposed to protect us protecting themselves.
Just my opinion. They have done a good job with holding their guns and not using them. Not sure they've shot anyone--the person shot last night was not done by police.
is there a solution though? do we have to descend into anarchy to rebuild our society? i hope not

The police are basically acting like military at this point. Paramilitarization of the police force leads to the turning of American suburbs into warzones, in short. Soldiers in Iraq had less body armor than these guys have.
From what I see, I am actually impressed more people have not been injured. I mean, you have a huge line of policemen and a huge crowd of angry protesters--it's just scary. While I'm disappointed looting occurred, I'm glad it was looting instead of attacks.
Ty =) I love my city very much, and seeing this just makes me want to cry because, I mean, I'm seeing the news on my TV and it looks like a war zone, not peaceful America. It's just so not what everyone wants and loves. The whole situation, in my opinion, has been exceedingly unfortunate to everyone involved.
