[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law and order is necessary, but it has also been used as a smoke screen for racist behavior. People on the left tend to ignore or minimize the need for enforcing law (the word 'force' is in there because it's a necessary component.) People on the right tend to ignore or minimize the racist acts committed in the name of enforcing the law. [/quote]

I'm a "leftist" who's been accused of being "Antifa" and an "anarchist" in this thread, yet I am not affiliated with Antifa and am not at all an anarchist.  I am not against law and order and I don't think most Americans are.  But we ARE in favor of police reforms to improve oversight and accountability when police abuses happen.

Also, enforce does not have to mean violence either.  For example, why so many police stops of vehicles?  Speeding or a headlight out?  Mail them a ticket with a warning for first offense and a ticket for second.  In this day and age most of that crap can and should just be automated.  Police should be focusing first and foremost on actual violent crime.  Not hassling some guy on the street for selling loose cigarettes, that should be all the way down at the bottom of the list.  The other place where we go wrong in this country is crime prevention.  Looking at the causes of why crime happens in the first place.  It's often related to economics, lack of opportunity, broken systems, oppression and other kinds of dysfunction, along with substance abuse, mental health and so on.  If we're so concerned about crime why don't we bother addressing any of the causes?[/quote]
Nobody cares who you are personally.  The issue here is left-wing violence being excused/ignored/minimized or whatever word you want to use for something other than using police and prosecutors to enforce laws against rioting.[/quote]
