Yes, their lives matter too

Very much so.

Amen.

Every single life matters, now some police men who just did their work had to pay the price for the small group of officers who have overreacted, what a tragedy.

Nick and Judy don't, but the others do.

i think nick and judy's lives matter also

their lives do matter....but the issue still stands, someone died

To protect and serve

that is the police motto

a man was killed recently...whether he was innocent and this was an act of racist cops or he was truly dangerous remains to be seen

the fact of the matter is that the two officers that responded still killed a man...was lethal force authorized? Were shots truly fired? Was the suspect actually posing a dangerous threat? We don't know

"Life is precious"

Shame one's life had to end this way

"To protect and serve"...the status quo which is currently being demonstrated by the R"s or as I call them ENEMY. I could go into this more but my experience has shown that many really do not want to listen or care as they feel that it is not their problem, but as we just saw, it can become their problem very quickly and tragically.

forgive me if I sound stupid...but R's?

I only heard about the whole thing today so I'm doing my best to remain unbiased

R's = Republicans but I no longer use that word as, considering their policies since the very late 60's, I can only call them what they are now: ENEMY.

truth...

I just called them "They" or "Them" or words that are not meant for the ears of children. But I like the idea of just calling them "R's"

all lives are important; in Dallas, you have protestors and cops hugging, talking about their joint concerns. Equality is a goal, but one being embraced

I get the impression this is not going to end until we get past that us vs them mentality, just causes so many unnecessary deaths

Being a police officer is a thankless job. You are seen as s nuance when it is inconvinant but seen as a god send when its needed

I think so.

Yep, they do

I hear ya

Amen.

All lives matter, but you're called a racist if you say that. Fucked up, PC world we live in.

Someone give this man a medal. They clearly understand.

Thanks for saying that.

darn straight!

They work for us, care for us, DIE for us... of course they matter.

Agree.

Have posted somewhere else the following.

"And, personally it seems to be more a matter of either:

Respect human life, in which case - all lives matter.
And, obviously with that, it is a matter of assisting those lives that need assisting/support/help in proportion to the help/assistance that is needed.

Or take a nihilist view on life, in which care - no lives matter.
And with that, well, it is a nihilist view on life, so nothing has any intrinsic value or meaning."

Unfortunately it seems that PC culture has gone so far as to see comments such as 'all lives matter' to be racist. Even though there is ample evidence to demonstrate that it isn't a race based issue, and that it is a lot more complicated than that.

Anyway, agree with what you have said and created here.
