Struggling to get my head around police departments across the US deciding the best way to respond to protests against unnecessary police brutality is more unnecessary police brutality.
Police Union's are a big part of the problem also, refuse to consider any type of reform. There is a really good thread about this issue I was reading yesterday.

A Twitter user was suspended for 'glorifying violence' after posting exactly what Trump tweets
The account @SuspendThePres launched May 29 and started to post tweets identical to those sent on Trump's Twitter.
So uh the whole Buffalo Emergency group is now standing down in solidarity because they think the 2 officers are being scapegoated for following orders. Wow.
Entire force resigns to support suspended cops
Two cops from Buffalo in New York state have been suspended after they were caught on video savagely pushing a 75-year-old protester to the ground, amid the George Floyd riots sweeping through the nation.

When the President says...
... is an entire unit resigning in support for a cop getting suspended for pushing an orderly man over surprising?

What I saw was a 75 year old man going up to two cops and was having a conversation and whilst talking with his hands, whatever he was holding (a mobile) brushed one of their arms. And they both pushed him over. Yeah, what an agitator.
One of the replies to one of the videos I saw was “They were both in the wrong. The man never should have touched the cop.” How’s that for blaming the victim? Disgusting from a member of the public.
This got a fair bit of attention today on Twitter....

Some people are really stupid. The way the protests have been run in London have been ridiculous.

I wonder what the end game of these protests are.
Is it just to get the issue out there in the public domain? Is BLM looking for reforms of police, schools, criminal law, government etc?
Just seems that we've had this sort of outrage before, and these sort of protests before and I'm not sure a lot has changed. Changing the attitudes of some police is going to take generations. I just wonder what can be done now.
