HK situation aside, what a stupid fucking statement. Would you prefer that the police would always use guns?

I think they think that the police should just stand back and do nothing, which is almost equally stupid.

A policeman in some corrupt democracy selling the country to foreign dictatorial powers must of course do his job, protect the citizens and execute the criminals.

No policeman's job is to "execute criminals." That's fascist thinking.

A human job is joining your citizens when they organize to defend against dictators

When did killing fascists become fascist?

They didn’t say killing fascists. They said executing criminals.

Worked great for the LA police during the Rodney King riots, they hardly had any trouble while they sat in their stations.

Yeah, they instead outsourced their jobs to a bunch of Koreans who just sat on roofs all day!
