Protecting Law Enforcement Personnel. One of the Department of Justice’s top priorities is protecting law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels who protect us all. This includes aggressively investigating the all-too-common instances of violence against and obstruction of law enforcement, seeking the death penalty for those who perpetrate capital crimes against law enforcement, and backing and promoting the efforts of law enforcement when they are subjected to unfair criticism or attack.

    Me:

    Both sides can have overlap in things they do, but that doesn’t make blaming ‘both sides’ valid.

    You:

    You’re claiming that conservatives and Democrats haven’t ever agreed upon anything that might be reasonably criticized…

    I’m going to go talk to a brick wall as that is more likely to be productive.

      Lol, if two people agree to do something stupid to an equal degree I can’t blame both people? Are you trying to be obtuse, or are you really this stupid?

        I had a good chat with the wall, and the wall didn’t put words into my mouth that directly contradicted the last thing that I said.

          Yup, that’s the only thing they have. It’s kind of crazy how often I see it here. They can’t handle being wrong about this, so they go for the straw man, but they’re really bad at it.

          What you said was self contradictory… Wouldn’t surprise me if you actually attempted to literally talk to a wall, you both have rocks for brains.

          Both sides can have overlap in things they do, but that doesn’t make blaming ‘both sides’ valid.

          Your claim was based in cognitive dissonance… If the thing that they overlap on is deserving of blame then blaming both sides is valid.

          How exactly are both sides not responsible for blame for voting to go to war in Afghanistan? How are they both not to blame for passing the Patriot act? They both agreed in complete consensus on both of those acts of Congress…well almost, two Republicans voted against the war in Afghanistan.

          Go kick rocks.

            You can find some sort of overlap between any two things. Two things having a few things in common doesn’t justify saying both things are the same.

              common doesn’t justify saying both things are the same

              I already said several times that it doesn’t apply when in generalizations… However, that does not mean we should criticize the times when both parties behave in the same way.

              The other person claimed there were no specific instances where both sides deserve the same blame.
