cannot bear to watch anything like that, it is scary.
People in mobs just dont think in terms of public or private property or business, Im sorry. They are just angry, so rather than kill PEOPLE, they just smash walls and stuff. Cos there is nothing else they can do about it when police dont do as they should. Children do the same.
But they do kill people. And what's the scariest is that so many people want police out of their neighborhoods and basically to turn them into no go zones for police. So they want to live in a cartel? As if criminals won't come and divide the turf and then it will be such a wonderful life without police, robbing and shootings all day long. How beautiful. People need to stop excusing this. It's really mental.

I'm almost to the point that I wish all Law Enforcement peoples would just walk away and leave people to it!

Let those who preach hatred for Law Enforcement, and the Politicians who preach defunding of Police Departments deal with what will come to the streets of America.

The Jews moaned and belly ached about wanting a King, and, finally God got tired of it and GAVE them what they wanted........ anyone know how that worked out for the Jews?

Yes, there are bad Cops, and they need to be identified and weeded out........BUT........... the greater percent of Law Enforcement persons are good and decent people doing a dangerous and thankless job.

The people I see on my TV screen protesting against the Police are an embarrassment to humanity IMO

We will never walk away from our duty to protect and serve.

But many of us are tired of the one dimensional way of thinking about law enforcement.

Many of us are tired of the bad cops giving us all a bad name.

Many of us are tired of the hatred minorities in this country are experiencing.

Many of us are tired of no good unions protecting bad cops. I have personally fired several rotten apples over the last few years just to be demonized by the unions protecting them.

Many of us can understand why people are protesting against what’s going on in our country. But we will bring in anyone looting or rioting. That’s not acceptable.

We need a brand new way of educating officers to weed out the people not acceptable in the service.

This is my two cents, but law enforcement is changing for the better. In a decade I’m sure we will be better off than today.

I suppose police officers and their families are not considered human beings anymore, because one police officer was a piece of garbage who killed someone, but at the same time "don't put all the protesters into the same basket because of actions of some". Makes me want to spit on the ground, I feel so bitter for the sake of these people. The hypocrisy is disgusting.

There's a video game called Bio Shock. You stumble across an underwater city, upon entering there is a big banner which says, No Kings, No God, Only Man
As you venture through you find their society met a most horrible demise due to their ideologies which they wanted lived.
Perhaps you're right? But it'd affect us all.

If those in the streets have their way we will never survive another decade.
If they have their way you will be unemployed.

Has anyone seen the horrible mess in Seattle ? This is really getting out of hand. But I must keep reminding myself "GOD IS IN CONTROL" The devil might win the battle BUT GOD HAS WON THE WAR !!!! Praise His Name.

I think you know that those in the streets will never have their way. People can be rioting and looting only for so long before society has had it with the uprising. Law enforcement will not step down.

You are deceiving yourself.
We have the entire Dem. party supporting this tearing down of our country and the Rep. doing nothing to stop it.
Law enforcement is already stepping down in many cities and those who are standing their grown are being threatened with arrest and some have already been charged with a crime.

DWR I agree the DEM party and the Rep party are doing nothing. it's getting sooooo out of hand. For me, when everyone has failed us (as I see it) what is left ? Turning to the Lord for His intervention. Just my thoughts.

There have been many times our Lord has in effect said "have it your way" and we have paid the price.
We as God's people have set back and allowed this nation to come to this point and now we must pay the price.
We are all guilty. Some more than others, but all must share in the coming judgmemt.

Yes it is to late. Not enough of us willing to do what is right.
One must recognize his wickedness before he will turn from it and most are blind.
Its always the other guy, not me.

I guess I'm just one of those people who will not give up. I have to believe until the end God's intervention. I must believe there are others who feel the same. Thank you for your replies to my posts.

Israel was cast out of the Promise Land because of their sinfulness.
Daniel and the three Hebrew children spent their entire adult life never seeing their homes again.
They did nothing wrong, but had to endure the judgment God brought on their nation.
Many innocent have suffered because of the wickedness of others. Many are suffering today. And many will suffer in the days to come.
But, in the end i will be with my Lord, so all is good!

It is not about giving up it is about seeing things as they are.
Daniel saw the judgment of God, accepted it, did the best he could to continue to serve his Lord.
We would all be wise to be as Daniel.
