    No reason to apologize for someone else. It's stuff going on in their head. I think everybody should do a ride along to see what happens in the field. They have a citizens academy where I'm at and civilians get to see the procedure, policies, and a ride along. Lots of things going on most...

    From what I understood from the discussion the podcast was from the founders and recognized leaders of the group. The group doesn't really have a clear message just "cops bad". Unfortunately there aren't many of those people left. Of the ones that are many are race pimps. I don't think there...

    It depends on the group whether they promote hate. It depends on how they wish to promote change. It can be non-violent civil disobedience or the promotion of violence. Just because they have a nice touchy feely name don't assume. How about not treating humans as disposable.
