[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why they would plan to release the video late on a Friday. Makes sense for a white house press release they don't want to draw attention to, but if you are worried about protests that could get violent Friday afternoon seems like the worst possible time.[/quote]

I don't think releasing the video on a Tuesday afternoon would be any better.  [/quote]

If people are scheduled to be at work at 9am Wednesday, they’re less likely to be out protesting (with potential for things to go off the rails) in the wee hours of Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Friday night, people often stay out late because it’s the start of the weekend, the. There’s a whole weekend for protesting and possibilities. I’m hopeful that the way it’s being handled so far will let people feel heard and hopefully everyone stays safe. [/quote]

The people who work at 9AM on Wednesdays are typically not the people protesting.  They're the ones whose lives the protestors are trying to disrupt.[/quote]

As horrific as this video is described to be, and as often as crimes like this are swept under the rug, I'm guessing it's going to enrage and motivate a lot of people to want to bring about change.

Also, why do you think protesters don't have day jobs? Would you care to explain what you mean? [/quote]
Exactly what change do people want?[/quote]

I want police officers with college degrees, adequate training, and the pay to match.  I do not want HS drop off bullies who got kicked out of the military thinking they are God of the Universe and above reproach.  [/quote]

+1 I want police officers who are not on power trips. Police officers, CBP, and TSA officers are all the lowest of the low and need to be the best of the best.[/quote]

Can you explain that last sentence? They are the lowest of the low, but they need to be the best of the best? Why would anybody want a job in which they are assumed the “lowest of the low”? How can we possibly recruit the best with that belief in place?[/quote]
