        Good for them! We don't blink at pro players being arrested for violence, drugs, etc.-- but we pitch a fit for quiet, dignified protest.

        I saw a mom pull her young son on top of a police car at Georgia Tech riots & encouraged him to jump on hood. Parents teach this behavior

        I've seen many moms grieving for children who were victims of police brutality. I'm fearful of the danger this creates for good officers.

        I agree- the bad ones are putting us all at risk. Defending them hurts everyone.

        I meant the opposite. Pretty much all cops are GOOD. Let the system take out the few bad apples. Just like we should not judge individual

        Replying to @FecklessBube @DistractedChem and

        Cases where race is involved. Too easy to let emotions cloud your judgment. Let the system expose the bad apples

        I meant most cops are good too. I worded my response poorly.

        Civic education begins young. And it has completely been omitted from the elementary curriculum. Excellent job by these coaches teaching.
