You know what’s interesting about the people upset that a 9 year old was at a peaceful protest with her mom? That think the mom was asking for a cop to mace her kid? “Why did you bring her there? You knew it was dangerous.” Take that one step further. What was the danger?

It was the cop.

You are admitting that you can not bring a child close to a law enforcement officer because you should know that it’s dangerous. She was maced. By a cop. So if we all KNOW this is not safe for children WHY ARE WE ASSUMING THEY PROTECT US

“Don’t bring your child to a demonstration even though that’s our right as Americans!”
“Why?”
“It could be dangerous.”
“Who might hurt her?”
“The police!”
Fascinating.
Maybe we are protesting because the police... hurt people and that might be a good reason to demonstrate?

SO BASICALLY be pissed that a cop maced a child instead of being like well did the child deserve to be hurt by someone meant to protect her

This isn’t super thought out but it just clicked like, you’re like why would you bring a child somewhere so dangerous it’s her mom’s fault instead of being like why was a law enforcement officer trained so poorly or believed so toxically that they maced a child

The cop is what she had to fear going there and you! The person arguing are actually just admitting the cops are something parents and children should fear! And that is terrible!
