Trump is scheduled to visit Kenosha this Tuesday, and Evers wrote him to ask him to stay away. Evidently Evers feels the protests are cathartic, and that they are helping Kenosha "overcome division and move forward." Evers' letter to Trump said, "I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing."

Yeah. Right. All the Dem-run cities allowing violent assaults and rioting to take place unchecked in their streets are doing a gosh-darned super-swell job of moving forward and healing.

As a retired police officer, I must strongly disagree with this. The law does not allow the police to shoot people for just resisting arrest. There is a certain amount of force allowed to be used to effect an arrest. The police may escalate the force needed if the suspect actively resists. The police may not shoot until there is a threat of deadly force against them or unless there is probable cause to believe that the person poses a greater threat to society if he escapes than the threat to society of violating his rights.

I firmly believe we must hold the police to the law. If we allow the police to violate the law indiscriminately, we lose all hope of maintaining a free society.

I agree that the people who are being pointed out as the cause of most of these riots all resisted arrest. Almost all of these deaths were legally justified. But not all of these deaths were justified. In recent months, we have the case of Breonna Taylor being shot without resisting arrest and unjustifiably (IMO and from what the media has reported). Further back, we have cases such as the "drug sellers" in Houston. We have cases such as Shaver being shot five times while crawling towards the police as ordered.

The media is not reporting this and is the primary cause of the riots, IMO. We need to be aware of the cause of the riots, what the movement is attempting to do, and who is supporting it. While we fight this revolution, we also need to not let our guard slip and allow the police to commit murder or we all lose.
