(COMMENT)

Let us remember the Oregon State Trooper who gunned down a cowboy and patriot LaVoy Finicum in 2016 for starters instead of blindly believing law enforcement is always right.     Its not.   Of course violence is not right either from any faction and Ammon Bundy is not joining in the Black Lives Matter event to promote or participate in any violence.   He is always a man of peace.
