I’ve been an active part of two movements that saw police prosecuted and systemic changes implemented which also included being assaulted by police and requiring medical attention. I’m 100% comfortable with the contributions I’ve made. Every piece of progress and justice I’ve been a part of has involved (as you say), “making it a problem for people with power”, not spouting pseudo-macho bullshit about other people shooting police.

I’ve fought for causes like this for almost 40 years and I’ve never seen people so fucking toothless. Forget actually acting on anything, they don’t even make art art about it. They just regurgitate corporate talking points about guns and sulk on the internet if someone disagrees. They promote other people dying in a hail of bullets or spending the rest of their life in prison and they won’t even send an email.

But it sure is easy to just be stepped back and making a claim for other people to figure out.

A criticism you’re clearly not interested in applying evenly to the people in this thread.

Yeah that’s what I said but it’s unpopular when it’s about something that matters.

It doesn’t matter either way because if they’ve got their knee on the neck of an innocent person, it’s not safe to shoot at them. Hopefully that doesn’t spoil anyone’s virtue signalling, macho fantasy because that’s a tragedy far deeper than the torture, abuse and summary execution of innocent people.

Then I should have the support of the people in this thread then since they’ve made it clear that their preferred solution is tutting and suggesting dumb shit that helps abusive cops.

But oh no! I haven’t been polite enough! I should have just advocated firing guns at people instead.

Sure I do, because he has the solution of a fucking idiot: “We should be able to shoot at cops with our cool guns”.

Maybe you should try getting more upset? If you’re going to do nothing of consequence, you could at least do it with some passion. Even on an anonymous platform with no consequences, all you’re bringing to the table is “touch grass” tone policing.

Oh you’ve been shooting at cops have you? Following through on your super cool solution?

Luckily, they have you to leap to their defense when someone tells them to act on their concerns.

There’s a long history of protest against police brutality, all over the world. How many have you been involved with? I’m tired of social media being full of lazy fucks who see shit like this and just say “damn that sucks” and go back to doing fucking nothing or pro-gun fuckstains claiming “Somebody should shoot them. Not me of course, somebody more expendable”.

Get them under control then. I’m sick of the fucking “thoughts and prayers” generation.

Don’t be coy, tell us what you think we should be using it for.

The best way to encourage adoption is to be miserable as fuck about every topic and event.
