@EpicMania18 how did Kyle undermine police and justice exactly?
As you've stated yourself he went there with the purpose of protecting property and people, he wasnt there to make a political statement, fight for racial justice, make his voice heard or such things.
He felt local law enforcement weren't doing enough and decided to step up - sure, this might not have been a wise move but at the same the police didnt seem to have any issues with him (and dozens of others) wandering the streets with firearms. It'd be a different matter if police instructed Kyle to go home upon seeing him wandering the streets during curfew with a rifle but they didnt - in fact even after the shootings they just drive on by as if its not out of the ordinary, just another peaceful protestor walking the streets during curfew.
You can't have it both ways. If police are turning a blind eye to people committing crimes, breaking curfew, burning and destroying property etc it can't be then said that people taking matters into their own hands to prevent these very things that police should be doing but aren't, are undermining them.
I totally agree there is no law and order currently - thats the crux of the problem!
Furthermore it's not the police's fault for their inaction - it's fairly obvious these arent rogue law enforcement officers just letting people do whatever they want and are ignoring their superiors. The lack of action by police is a directive coming from much higher up than the officers themselves and even the police dept as a whole.
There is just going to be a growing number of these incidents involving civilians taking matters into their own hands whilst the violence, looting and destruction continues with police taking little to no action to prevent it.
It's ironic that the people trying to push the narrative that Kyle was only chased and attacked by other civilians (the mob) after he shot someone - as if this suddenly means it's okay for people to take matters into their own hands - are generally the same ones trying to make the arguement that Kyle shouldnt have taken matters into his own hands. The hypocrisy is truly amazing!
Anyhoo when i say law n order will prevail i'm talking in the near future, things are likely to still get worse until there is an incident that can't be spun for political gain or is so egregious that people start questioning where were the police?
Who wants to live in a society where on a weekly basis there is yet another business looted and burnt to ground, yet another violent assault or death from "mostly peaceful" protests.. causing chaos and civil unrest isn't an effective way to bring about justice and peace.
