    Horrid & I continue to say this: unless something changes, attacks like these will become more common. You continue to oppress a minority group & they will eventually start to fight back.


    Michael, I try not to be mean to you, I really do....but please...stfu.

    This is *exactly* why I told you to stfu. You do this every single time. You fish for these “gotcha moments” that aren’t there. It’s possible to acknowledge a situation is horrible while also explaining why it’s happening. The state I live in right now is on fire & it’s horrible but it’s a consequence of climate change that we’ve inadequately addressed. Cops being murdered on patrol is horrible but it’s a consequence of centuries of oppression.

    Feels like an overstatement. You don’t know the particulars - mentally ill people or criminal murderers aren’t inherently reacting to occasionally academic discussions of oppression lol. And even if there’s a few John Browns in the bunch I’m not sure we can or should deduce their motives.

    If a criminal gets shot for resisting arrest. Is it good? No. But its a consequence... but no, then its racism and murder. But 2 cops being murdered in cold blood well yeah... s--- happens!!

    Cops get shot and BLM blocks the hospital entrance and chants "i hope they die".. and this is why people will reelect Trump. shame on @Enigma for saying this is okay. p---- is so about change but stays inside on twitter all day instead of marching for it. f--- him.

    Bro...is this parody?
    Like...you’re projecting so hard rn.

    That’s fair. I may be jumping the gun a bit here but I do think there is a trend here that’s becoming more & more frequent. The tribalism & violent rhetoric of our politics is starting to carry over.

    This is probably true. Tensions are high. But that’s diff from real life murders in 2020 being the direct result of the middle passage or whatever. Or that there’s moral certitude in killing police officers lol

    it’s very frustrating that ppl continue to credulously push ideas like this... cops are *always* going to say someone was resisting arrest, *always* going to say they were fearing for their life, *always* going to back the unlikely stories of their most trigger-happy colleagues. like, let’s be adults here, lol

    If fools knew how to play it cool around 12 theyd still be alive. An old head once told me you got to know how to move in any type of surrounding. Big facts I took to heart. Move smarter and dont give these pigs a reason to lite you up.

    So they didn’t k--- him? Doesn’t that kinda prove the point about US cops though? That guy was spitting and thrashing and ‘resisting’ arrest way worse than Floyd was, or that other case a few years back with the black guy who got shot and killed inside his car with his gf, or that video of the guy in some lobby who was on the floor obeying the orders of all the screaming cops pointing guns at him and then shot and killed him because a cop thought he moved, while he was on the floor like they told him to

    those three cases are just at the top of my head and I’ve seen way more violent resisting in Australia on weekend nights out. Bogans here literally fight cops and they get their a--- kicked and shoved in the police van that’s that.

    If Floyd or the other two I mentioned were threatening the officers lives, then cops here should be patrolling the streets in tanks

    cops are trained for that. If they killed everyone who argued back without even getting psychical, or not immediately comply without asking why they’re getting arrested in the confusion etc then every arrest would result in death. Like, 2 of the cases I mentioned above they literally didn’t even do anything and still got shot lol. The f--- you gotta do to not get shot? Just hope for the best?
