The Direction of Society

Description

During the BLM peaceful protests in Austin in 2020, a few protesters sustained injuries as police fired non-lethal bean bags at them in order to get them to disperse, since they wouldn't do it voluntarily after repeated orders. The city of Austin now awarded TEN million to two of the peaceful protesters, enough money to make them instant millionaires, and last week the city’s Austin American-Statesman newspaper reported the grand jury was considering charges for up to 18 officers. But wait a second; didn't the peaceful protesters deface, loot, and burn down businesses, trash the Precinct station, total some police cars, block streets, accost restaurant customers, generally trash portions of downtown, and cause injuries to some of the officers sent there to restore order? What does this tell the general public? It tells us that we can go downtown and cause general mayhem and be awarded a lot of money for doing so if the police throw something at us, get some police in big trouble for doing their jobs and probably be fired for it, extend a victory for the defund the police movement, discourage police recruits for choosing law enforcement as a noble career, that our tax dollars are utterly squandered, and place police officers as public enemy number one. This is the direction society takes when these sorts of things occur and can be summed up with one word: BACKWARDS. What a victory for BLM! I want some of that money, too. I think I should get some money from the city of Austin for being offended at watching news reports of the peaceful protests. It should be a class action lawsuit for everyone else who were dismayed at the uncivilized behavior being brought into our homes from computers, TV sets, and phones that displayed all of this. We would be classified as innocent bystanders as the Travis County District Attorney would surely agree to. And it wouldn't stop there. Minneapolis would be next. Then Portland. Kenosha, New York, and so on.
