Our country has a seemingly limitless supply of Tear Gas, Riot Gear, Rubber Bullets, etc. enough on hand to literally combat the entire country while we the people have to spend out of pocket to help our own education have the essential items it needs like sanitizer, paper, pencils, etc that it's just really hard to trust that million is going to good use.

    I'm sure that by this point of the comment the vocal minority of idiots on this board have already decided I'm condemning and criticizing Dak (I'm not). I'm simply providing perspective. But I guarantee you they only read the first paragraph, so now I'll speak to the silent majority on here that aren't unwilling to have a dialogue. What Dak did is noble and naive. He's naive in the good way. Drew Brees is naive in the bad way. Dak looks like a shining star coming out of this and will not have his teammates question him because he is extending an olive branch and doing what honestly people on both sides should be doing. He's believing in the good of man and isn't jaded by reality. Cops should do the same and believe in innocent before guilty and that the "other side" wants the same things for all of us, justice and equality. The feelings a lot have is that the "other side" doesn't want that. They want superiority, power, and domination over us. The system we have currently breeds that and allows for it. It will play out with the arrests and trials of the four cops, one of whom tried twice and failed to stop a two decade superior from committing murder. The dark truth of the system is that 90+% of us would have acted in the same way as him and be in the same predicament. That's not an indictment of mankind. That's the reality we face and the problem inherent with the system. So more education and sensitivity training doesn't feel like the answer, but it's noble to believe it is and hope for the overall good.

    I salute Dak for being a young naive American who is oblivious to the way the system truly is. He showed America what a true leader looks like on the day that a man who has been in a similar position for 15 years showed his ultimate ignorance in the wrong manner. Good for Dak. Proud to say he's an MSU alum.
    It is pretty naive to paint with such a broad brush.

    I love the "superiority, power and domination over all of us" line. Show me proof that cops want that. Do some? absolutely but I assure you it would be the minority of cops that think like that. I have yet to meet a single officer that hasn't been respectful and nice. Nor have I met an officer that wouldn't hesitate to help out anyone if it was needed.

    I know you don't like it, but law enforcement is necessary. What you're seeing now with the riots would be an everyday thing without law enforcement and you would then genuinely see those that want your power and domination that you speak of.

    Please show me a country as populated as the United States that has more freedom for their people and more opportunity. All of the liberal left like to point to Sweden/Netherlands/Switzerland as an example of how a county should be run without taking into account that they are about the size of one of our mid sized cities. It is always easier to run a smaller country. Everything operates much more efficiently. They also don't have the violent crime issue that we have here in the States. It's actually naive and laughable that anyone would try to make that comparison.

    I don't agree with you on hardly anything and that is alright, we can disagree without throwing out insults such as "vocal minority of idiots". Just not necessary man.

    And maybe just maybe if Cops were paid more, you would see better qualified candidates for the job. Nobody wants to get paid 30-40k a year to get shot at and have half the population hate you. It's a thankless job.
