Since when has everything become such a zero-sum game in this world?

Apparently, people who decry unjustified police brutality against unarmed minorities can't think that shooting police officers is also wrong.

Mind you, that's not the sentiment I'm getting from DU or the left, but instead from brainless conservatives who want to strawman us into positions. I'm tired of it.

channels. Since we lost most of our journalists, only to be replaced by the shitty creatures called pundits. Since the days when the news stopped reporting the news - and now instead tell people what to think and who to like/hate.
