They are. And they do with a reliable plus minus

At least that’s what my social studies teacher said

fair point but it still seems like both supporting burning the police station and supporting a military crackdown are not really "moderate" sounding approaches to me. Whether you agree with them or not they both sound more extreme than the alternative.

I agree.

I used to think some cops were alright, especially the ones I had to deal with in my teenage years, but it's gotten to a point where I just can't believe some of the "good ones" let this **** slide. Yeah, I was a dumb white kid doing dumb ****, and I get that I would have been locked up if I was anything other than white.
