    ..........It also affirms that citizens have a right to maintain arms equivalent “to those of their government’s basic infantry unit.”........

    HOLY SHIT! Do you know what a "basic infantry unit" has? I don't even have to google it to tell you that you don NOT want that type of weaponry out on the streets. And then what..... where do the M203s/50 cals go when this is all over in a few days?

    We've seem citizens attacked by multiple assailants at once. The police have been not helpful in protecting the country

    the protest is about police brutality....they threw the first punch....they get to deal with the repercussions...black folk have had enough and I'm with them...trust is earned....the police need to earn the public trust....it's not going to be given just because you wear the uniform now.

    And when you riot, loot and assault citizens, you should be met in kind.

    Actually with a larger response

    stop lumping protesters into looters piggy backing off the protests...looters are not the power of this protest...they are the collateral damage of public outrage and police disorganization...the police need to bring people together, not act with armed confrontation...arrest looters, fine..don't shoot journalists, senators, mayors, or any protesters who are not looting because crooks are looting...they aren't the same issues...where's the frickin' dialogue and public response from leadership? Talking about getting more attack dogs? They need to protect the hospitals because at this rate they're going to need all the first responders we can find

    The burned, destroyed and looted cities have determined your thoughts are idealistic and false.

    Cities that cracked down on lawlessness are better now. Those that haven't are still in peril.

    Seems like more protests and less destruction and looting overall (except for places failing to summon national guard like NYC) since Trumps address and declaration of ANTIFA as a terrorist organization.

    The law allows the people to protest peacefully. Weak mayors who dont enforce the laws will have their cities fucked.

    I'm more of a logic guy...... I will never understand people fearing an inanimate object.

    Also..... showing up for a thread where someone was asking for recommendations?
