I still am not convinced. What would people think if finally the police united and started protesting because they were sick of seeing rape victims, victims of horrific murders, victims of robberies that ruined people's livelihoods, victims of drug and alcohol abuse; what if they started throwing rocks at people who they thought might commit these crimes, what if they started smashing cars and burning down apartment buildings because some people might do this. Would it get the media's attention? Of course! It would be heaven for the media, but can you imaging what CNN would do? If I can guess they would no doubt be saying, "Look at the dumb conservatives." And they would be being dumb. But would people stop committing crimes? NO, they probably wouldn't even slow down, in fact they would probably go up. Being violent won't help. And as for your comment about the Cleveland protests getting little coverage from the mainstream media is true, but I was well aware of them, and if Aaron Hernandez had just stubbed his toe on his couch it would not have gotten in the news, but he killed someone, and that got into the news, it was a bad thing, and I don't see how it brought about any good. To repeat myself violence won't help, and the ironic thing is that a lot of people who are saying it will are the same people who said that going to Iraq wouldn't help because it would just make people more violent, and this will do the same thing.
