Last night as I watched the live stream of the protesters and their "silent" march to the NYPD I couldn't help but remember how, just days ago they were asking for police protection. I think it is interesting how after the protesters received threats that they call on the police for help. Now they protest in front of the NYPD about police brutality and call them murderers. Watch the video here.
I'm not saying that ALL police officers are honest and good. There are some bad apples out there and they should be exposed and dealt with. My father was a police officer in the military and I was taught to respect the police and to trust them. I was also taught if something wasn't right with a police officer to report it. To this day, I respect our police officers. They put their lives on the line every day. It is not their fault that they can no longer "protect" us. It is the laws that have been passed in order to restrict them from doing their job properly. I am dead set against any violence. We have to remember, that the police that are "Protecting" these protesters and have been accused of "brutality" against the protesters are only doing their jobs. The police have no idea what the protesters will do. They have to be prepared for anything. Were they out of line with some of the protesters? From what I have seen, that is a question that should be asked and investigated.
