Oh no! A peaceful protest how terrifying!
Are you really that ignorant to think it's going to be peaceful? Obviously it's advertised as peaceful so the police don't shut it down.

Guarantee nothing will happen. Our Police aren't under scrutiny.

the officer comitted murder
Quote me one time where I said he didn't. I've openly said he should be charged with murder on this same thread.
I think you'll find there's more to my post.
You say they can't be stopped until it's too late.
Perhaps if any of the other cops stood there decided to stop him from strangling a guy to death, we wouldn't be seeing this.
You know I wasn’t even gonna say anything else until the term bootlicker was used, and honestly, it was just a matter of time.
- I don’t necessarily agree with everything Faustin is saying.
- I don’t agree with people calling law enforcement supporters boot lickers, and for a respected member of the community and staff to refer to another member of the community with that derogatory term is inappropriate in my eyes.

No, I doubt he is a bootlicker, but to say "there's no way of stopping someone who killed someone over 8 minutes who begged for their life 16 times" is very much reminicint of some of the arguments they make. "Don't resist if you don't want to be killed". "They were afraid for their life".
You're also mistaking the support of LEOs, which I don't have an issue with, with the unquestioning belief that they are always right.
To diagram it for you,
[Violent Anti Police] - Anti Police - Neutral - LEO Supportive - [Extreme Pro-Police / Bootlicker].
The square brackets I take issue with.
I disagree that there was no opportunity to stop this terrible act from happening during the 8 minutes and 46 seconds it happened.
I disagree with shooting at cops as "payback".
I disagree with that having someone beg for their life 16 times and get ignored each time is right.
I personally disagree with burning down random buildings, but I can understand why it's done.
Does that better explain my position for you?

Absolutely,
I agree that some people (including LEOs) can go to far in defending officers who are in the wrong.
I disagree that racism can’t be prevented until it’s too late as well.
I understand your issue with the “bootlicker” category. Apologies if I assumed you were calling all supporters that term, it is however commonly used against law enforcement supporters even in justified situations.
They said what the officer did was murder, I said hell yes.
They said the officer should be fired and arrested, I said hell yes.
They said justice for Floyd, I said hell yes.
They said let’s protest, I said hell yes.
They said black lives matter, I said hell yes.
Then while some protested, others rioted.
While some protested, others destroyed businesses.
While some protested, others burned down public buildings and police cars.
While some protested, others assaulted innocent people.
While some protested, others killed police officers.
Everyone has a reason to be upset, but now thousands are living in fear of having their lives taken.
I will now be attending multiple funerals from police officers who were ambushed and murdered in cold blood this week, when we heard you from the beginning.
