    Just getting together well-meaning people and talking things out is like the pinnacle of liberal ideology too. Don’t know why so many Democrats are tripping over their feet to paint the protests as bad and cheer on the cops. You have your perfect resolution right there!

      Because far too many US Dems are cowards who live in fear of the conservative news media who will claim, no matter what they do, that they are “soft on crime.”

        The media isn’t making up Biden’s call for law and order, nor the calls from the Democratic governors in CA and NY, or the Democratic mayor (albeit DINO) of NYC. Basically every statement by a non-progressive politician is vague support for freedom of speech before moving on to statements about violence and antisemitism (generally unsupported) and how protests aren’t supposed to actually inconvenience or disrupt anyone’s lives.
