This is a false equivalency. One has nothing to do with the other. We are talking about two completely separate issues.

Police are supposed to be held to a higher standard than your ordinary citizen. They are there to serve and protect. It’s suppose to be a form of public service. They have great power, and with great power comes great responsibility.

You sort of expect drug gangs to murder one another for no reason. You don’t expect the police to be murdering people for no reason.

But in the end, the black on black violence is a commonly used distraction. The people doing that killing are not people who answer to the public at large. It's a tragedy, but one that has to be met with different, less-direct actions.

Sorry, I refuse to believe that being direct and efficient with my words is impolite.

I mean, the simple answer is you protest against government that isn't working in a manner you think it should. You don't protest against street violence because it is not in theory answerable to the public at large.

I know Al made a series of efforts, none of which has worked. I have no idea on Jesse, though I assume his son tired some things, which also didn't work. I'd assume part of it is that neither man is particularly good at stopping violence, which is why both are more of figureheads or charlatans who I don't take all that seriously.

In the end, cycles of poverty and violence, the challenge with socializing people out of insular places they grew, these problems are massive and in many instances intractable. High investment in policing hasn't helped. Sets of programs haven't worked. It's a thing folks need to keep working on.
