I don't think all but the most rabid ACAB supporter would support killing one officer in retaliation to what another did, that's some bizarre reasoning.
Not that I support it, but that seems like gang warfare. Eye for an eye regardless.
Yeah, very much gang warfare logic.
As a foreign cracker, it seems like the perspective of many black Americans is similar to the way non-mentally ill people view a jew killing a nazi (because of what other nazis have done).
I'm not implying the situation's are identical, or that this cop deserved it, but hate is a natural response to oppression and persecution, especially by the state, and especially across generations. It doesn't look like anything has really changed since George Floyd (or Rodney King 35 years ago), except that America is more of a fascist shithole. As long as some cops are immune to be lawless criminals, it's ridiculous to expect blacks to forgive and forget.
The George Floyd example was a lot more clear cut, I think. Hard to argue that was anything other than murder.
