A huge chunk of Buffalo police resign in protest. This is to support the cop that pushed down the elderly man.

If this sticks then good. We dont need cops that are openly supporting brutality.
State Dept. using email software the NSA says is being exploited by Russian hackers, report says
WASHINGTON — The State Department, local governments and at least 50 candidates running for election in 2020 are using email software that the National Security Agency says is being exploited by Russian government hackers, according to a new report by a cybersecurity firm.
Area1, a Silicon Valley security firm, says in its report that candidates and government agencies using the software are leaving themselves vulnerable to the same Russian operatives who hacked the Democrats to interfere in the 2016 presidential campaign.

They're only resigning from the special squad. But yeah... if that many openy support that sort of thing, then they probably aren't needed on the front lines of this anytime soon.
Sucks that the police force is losing that many people as I'm sure they're needed. But I'm sure the NYPD don't need any more incidents like that taking place, so it's probably for the best.
Still have to wonder what happened to all those Republican emails that were hacked.

I'll chime in here - much of it is based on the fact that we see conservative talking heads (or in some cases family members and/or coworkers) using talk of looters and David Dorn's death not so much to add to the conversation, but to stifle it under a wave of whataboutism. If answered, new whatabouts will be found, as many as need be to prevent the question of systemic police brutality from being discussed. People who have seen that tactic used too many times aren't willing to entertain it anymore, or even anything that looks like it.
Dark does not mean deep.
if burned out stores means I dont have to read another story about a Trayvon Martin or Tamir Rice
I consider that a small price to pay
I see what you're saying, but there's more nuance to the situation than some folks are giving it. The looting doesn't hurt the cops or affect systemic racism, but depending on where it's done it does hurt minority communities. Target or whoever as a corporation will be fine. But if you're an old person in an underserved neighborhood and that Target was your main source of goods, you're now at a great disadvantage. If your the minority owner of a barber shop that got ransacked, sure you didn't get killed but your life is probably ruined. Fewer businesses are willing to open in that area and this results in money and resources leaving the community.
"They always get away."
If it weren't for video cameras, the same could be said for the people who killed Arbery and Floyd.
Videos are the factual evidence that they can't deny -- even though many still try to do so because it serves their agenda.
Speaking of which, let's see if they put any of them away as efficiently as they did the black, Muslim cop who shot the Australian woman.
