Definitely questions need answered.
Former NYPD commissioner: FBI needs to look into who is funding these riots and domestic terrorism

Wrong questions to be asking. A better question would be “What can departments do better to serve the community and prevent these occurrences in the future?”

America has a habitual issue with experiencing crisis and focusing on the wrong thing.
Those two things are not mutually exclusive and should be worked in parallel. However, the former is currently more urgent.

Better question maybe at a local community level where they may be experiencing this, but why disparage the interest in a possible external funding of rioting?

They should be in parallel, but in a media sense they might not be. I hope once this ends that the media focuses on the roots and not the stems. That might be hopeful wishing on my part, but it is what this country needs to work on.

Every community is different, there isn't any magic flow chart. You can work for years and finally get a great relationship with the community, then one thing can ruin it...and you have to define what a community is.....many different factions make up a community...it's hard to make everyone happy.
There is no "magic bullet" so to speak....
It doesn't help when social media and the media itself get people into a frenzy....

Reminds of the saying, “Respect takes years to earn and seconds to lose.”
Because I can guarantee you that the latter will be ignored for the former. What happens when the FBI finds out who coordinated these events? They’re gonna pat themselves on the back and declare “Mission Accomplished”. Nothing will have been learned, and the next time the country experiences mass protests in response to police brutality you’ll have Kerik asking “How much coordination does BLM have with ISIS?”

I can't agree with your logic here. They are two entirely different issues. Both can be looked at through the federal and state levels.
I want to believe that we as a Nation will move on from this and have more of an understanding and appreciation for one another. But as was stated we are terrible at thinking in the short term and remembering the past
I hope so, but as you can tell I’m pretty cynical on this issue
Was actually coming back here to post this, so I change my mind. The Cop that ordered the shot to be fired was wrong, as was the cops who shot.
My oldest does this for another Federal Agency (IRS). Just hops his area stays cold.

Oh, you don't like that they're coming after your house? Well you're literally inciting violence. Dear sportsball people, STFU.

2 decades down the shitter here in Cincinnati. Mayor even said it today. CPD, did a 180 Since 2001, other PD‘s come here to learn from CPD. It is not going to be pretty if it spills over the river to northern Kentucky. Covington is a powder keg just waiting for someone with a match.
MF does not even have a Mag in. We can send them half way around the world And trust them to do the right thing but not here?
