[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that Black people are disproportionately deemed 'threats' that need to be physically defend against where white people doing the same are not.

One of the MPD officers summed it up nicely (talking about a rioter who gave him a hand): "Thank you, but f@*& you for being there"

Well, that's how I feel about MPD[/quote]

It is a problem that needs to be addressed if/when it manfests, but you cant really nake up different rules for different permitted protests based on what you think might happen. Riot gear at all 1st amendment protests (and ongoing training and accountability) or at no protests, and the MOD go back to the van to change + grab their gear. That has to apply to Grannies for Peace or the Klan equally. Can you imagine if the Klan came to march (which courts have said over and over they have the 1st amendment right to do) and we sent the MPD to the perimeter dressed like English bobbies? How would that make sense?[/quote]

If you're Robert J. Contee III: get off DCUM, you have more immediate worries right now.

If you're Peter Newsham: you don't have to worry about this anymore, yay!

If you're neither Robert J. Contee III nor Peter Newsham: let MPD leadership figure it out (or don't you have confidence in their ability to do so?).[/quote]
