Do you think shoplifters should have their hands cut off as well?

I feel bad for the guy helping his friend pick up a new tv from the store, and is in a hurry. The cop was obviously in the right when he mowed him down

Well, if he is carrying the TV out through a broken window of a store that is on fire and full of looters, would you rather the cop said "excuse me sir, can I help you carry that?

I cannot believe you guys can look at the film of the looting and burning and say "Maybe they just bought something".

I will remind you, trump did not say shoot people with a TV nor did he say shoot black people. That is all from the MSM you guys think are journalists.

I don't want the cops killing looters. I want looters identified and given the appropriate penalties.

I would agree. Now what should the cops do if the looters resist arrest or ignore orders to stop? What should the cops do if every arrest is accompanied by charges of racism and police brutality? How would you, a Chief of Police in Minneapolis, go about telling your officers how identify looters and take them into custody?

That is a hard answer on the stopping looting in progress. I assume that is why they have specific training in managing a riot and I assume there are also specialists within their units to provide leadership on this? I’m pretty sure the answer is not to go ahead and shoot them.
