18. That's the answer.

So, the standard is that we don't have a democracy as long as some cops screw up?
Who is going to be in charge of law enforcement after a violent revolution results in the abolishment of the police?
Prior events occurred during times with different standards.
With PPE, there was outbidding, rather than theft.
So they are protesting the Republican President in the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul?
People can do research, and come to very different policy outcomes. It wouldn't necessarily lead one to understand why someone thinks that the blue state of Minnesota has forced the people to riot by its failure to have a democracy.
You might be on to something that conservatives will suggest that rather than complaining about policies, one should offer an alternative.
If the alternative suggested by Democrats doesn't hold up to scrutiny, that's not really a knock on Republicans.

I disagree with the suggestion that people in power wants to keep gun violence, policy brutality, a high crime rate, and a low quality of black schools. Anyone who would take any credit for making significant strides would be respected and successful.
There is typically a lack of evidence at this level. It's also easier to do a cover-up when there isn't a viral cell phone video.
One way to think about this would be how you would want someone to be treated when they're protesting for things you disagree with, or don't believe merit the attention they receive.
Yeah, there is the weird implication that if you're a patriot, you should have no problem with any crime in the name of protest.
I'm really not sure where I've said anything on the question of whether we can adopt policing policies for other countries. As far as I can tell, you introduced the topic in your post.

Oh, his Twitter account did post about over 100,000 people dying. It was very eloquent and thoughtful... which means someone else typed it more than likely.
I own the series on DVD and two Dilbert books, one I got from my uncle back in the early 2000s. Not embarrassed by the money I spent since the ones I bought were on sale, but more than likely will never bother with any of them again. Sad really, I did enjoy The Dilbert Principle and it was my go-to book to read on plane trips.

Anywho, what's up the president today?
Oh, you know, the usual insanity and insecurity.

Certainly not until we are consistent about holding them accountable for screwing up.
Of course, alternative strategies by Democrats generally hold up to much greater scrutiny than Republicans, who tend to suggest the solution to crime is to "grab criminals by the throat, throw them in prison and never let them out" (paraphrase of Phil Graham on the Senate floor).
People who try to do that can make at least as much money easier by receiving money from the NRA, which benefits from gun violence, police brutality, a high crime rate, and low quality of black schools. Being successful resolving all of these ills is much more nebulous, at best.
As I say, until we hold law enforcement accountable - perhaps more importantly until law enforcement holds itself accountable - there can be no real democracy. Or even a representative republic. There will always be the disenfranchised, and law enforcement will actively work to keep them that way.
If someone disagrees with treating other people with respect, based on race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or criminal history, than I don't really give a flying f what they think about violent protests.
Not in the name of protest. In the name of consistent unresolved inequality that leads to the loss of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness based solely on a race's...race.
Makes me astonished he’d rather be talking about his “most vicious dogs” rather than attempting to appeal to the concerns of protesters that want black people have better lives in society, since their lives most definitely matter, and restructure the police departments so that they don’t act like self-appointed dictators doing whatever they want such as threatening any peacefully-started protests and arresting camera crews.
I've not only shown the Democratic alternatives (which you again ignored) I've also shown how Republicans obstruct and roll back said altenatives and solutions even when they are effective.
Leading -- again -- to the situation that we see today.
At this point, I'll just make sure not to respond to your deflections any longer -- it serves no purpose whatsoever.
I already told you what would happen if your party kept suppressing and oppressing the rights of others.
Now we all get to see it play out in real time.
