I believe Patrick Lynch told them to start making arrests only when absolutely necessary.

Imagine that.

I take that as an admission that they generally make arrests haphazardly.

doesn't seem to cover the "choke a black man until he's dead" maneuver...

We will only choke, tazer and shoot people to death when absolutely necessary.

They only made things worse when they turned their backs at the funeral. They are dumb enough to do it again.

The OP said it was a statement by Chris Rock, a well known comedian. That is untrue. It was a statement by an anonymous internet poster who does not have the guts to use his real name. If he did no one would have paid the least bit of attention to it.

I love Chris Rock. That made it especially distasteful when some right-wing friends started claiming that he would obviously reject #blacklivesmatter in favor of #alllivesmatter because of his somewhat tongue in cheek comments in his Rolling Stone interview about how we have "nicer white people" now. They were trying to cast him as the African-American version of "a good German." Well, so much for that, kids.
