    How did compliance work out for that lady in her car?

    They don’t need a fucking reason.

    We are past the point where being “one of the good ones” makes you less likely to get killed. Time to be a hard target instead of a victim.

      And that was one lady just like it is always one person. It is not cops and their fat white kid friends indiscriminately firing upon crowds of civilians like it is naptime for Miss Smart’s kindergarten class. Which is what we see during some of the more historic massacres.

      I know you’re scared. We all are. But if you are taking a gun to a protest you are not just putting your own life in danger but EVERY single life at that protest. That is why the more experienced organizers keep an eye out for that and will grab your ass and drag you into an alley if they realize you are packing (and not an undercover cop).

      I strongly encourage talking to those organizers. I am not going to discuss it on lemmy but rest assured that we are all aware of this.

        Your unwillingness to fight for you community is embarrassing. Stay home.

        Its OK that you are fucking coward, that is your right, but its time for you to get the fuck out of the way of the people who are actually going to change this shit.

          You talk really tough for someone who hasn’t done anything about it. If you have, it surely would have caught some headlines, and you probably wouldn’t be alive to post about it. We’d probably all be commenting on a video of you getting taken out by 20x as many cops. And if you were in a crowd of people, likely many would be taken out with you.

          So if you do decide to put your money where your mouth is, just be sure to do it far away from peaceful protestors and any bystanders.

          Until then, stop calling people cowards, you coward.

              Nice deflection. You’re a coward too, the difference between you and me is that you’re pretending to be better than everyone else.

              Canned lines? You haven’t done shit. And if you do, make sure you don’t get other people killed who didn’t agree to be part of it. Canned lines.

              You’re right though, I am tired. Peace out dude.

                How was your nap? ICE shot a couple more Americans while you did fuck all.

                But it’s okay. You’re tired.

                  Nothing I could possibly have done today would have changed that.

                  What did you do today? Why didn’t you stop them from shooting those people? And why are you blaming me, when you didn’t stop them either?

      If you think that lady in her car is the worst that can happen and that we no longer need to show any restraint, then you have a profound lack of knowledge of history. If a group of citizens start raiding federal offices, the military are going to get involved in defence of the federal offices.

      And maybe that’s okay, honestly, maybe we do need to make a stand when things like this happen, but be fucking prepared and be honest about what’s about to happen because it will not be pretty.

        I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. People really can’t handle uncomfortable truths. They’ve never seen war, don’t know what it’s like. It probably hasn’t clicked for them yet that they don’t get to respawn when they die. They don’t understand the unfathomable amount of pain that comes with getting shot. They don’t comprehend how irrevocable any act of violence is, or the responsibility that comes with permanently altering the course of history.

        I mean sure, something needs to be done, but these people don’t stand a chance against a militarized police force with modern equipment and a virtually unlimited budget.

        They don’t understand the level of coordination it would take, the organization and the discipline required. The manpower, the combat experience, the heavy equipment. Small arms wouldn’t cut it. They’re not prepared. They don’t understand what sort of preparation that sort of thing would require.

        These are the same idiots who were saying before the election, “it’s better if trump wins because it will hasten the revolution.” Damn fools, there is no revolution. Not one that can succeed. The time to stop this was on election day, and we failed, because idiots like these thought call of duty was real life.

        And then they downvote you for telling them war isn’t pretty. Pathetic.

          To be honest I don’t think all of the downvotes are legitimate, I’m sure the pro-Russian and pro-Chinese are tipping the scales in these discussions to promote violence whenever possible.
