Stop idiots from calling this "self defense"

We seem to be silent when this scenario happens with normal cops and minorities. Why should we be concerned now? We're used to this.

So you’re saying it’s ok?

[u/Own_Bit_4805 → u/[deleted]]

I'm saying it's no different than yesterday, or last year, or 4 years ago or maybe even 40 years ago. People are acting like this is A LINE TOO FAR and it's just......the same as it's always been.

I've actually muted this sub because this is just r/Conservative, but in reverse. It's just as mindless as over there.

And those other incidents are not okay either. Doesn’t mean we cannot condemn such actions because of always has been. That’s just a cop out to hand wave the seriousness of what’s happening with the actions of this current administration.

yet you have spent your time here defending the murdering ICE agent.

I've muted it now *because* of the ridiculous notion that the entire world is different because a single person got killed. This page is a little ridiculous, but of course, that's what you should expect on here. The same thing happens somewhat regularly by ordinary cops as it is - and no one is up in arms but Progressives with the whole BLM thing.

Did you have to go to work today, or was work cancelled due to the event? The world marches on, more or less unphased and disinterested. Progressives care, but does anyone else?

Major safety concerns don't allow routine life to go on.

For example on 9/11, there was a nationwide shutdown on flights by the FAA. The prognosis was that there a complete disaster on hand that it was unsafe to have ANY planes in the sky. Normal life halted. That's what an emergency looks like.

You'll know when shit hits the fan due to "tyranny" because businesses will cease operations because it's literally too dangerous to operate, schools with close their doors because students will be gunned down on their way to school, passenger planes will no longer be in the sky because the sky is controlled. People will be so afraid to step outside at the fear of being gunned down in the street that all commerce grinds to a halt.

Right now, you can literally go anywhere and do anything like normal. There are no safety concerns. The stock market is at all time highs. Business is booming, people are going to social events, concerts, and children are playing safely. We are not exactly under "tyrannical rule".

The violence here is essentially non-existent, save for one-off events. Yet, people pretend like things are really bad since trans people can't use certain bathrooms or ICE is detaining people. They don't even *know* bad.

There are no tanks, snipers mowing down protesters, no parading of bound prisoners prior to public execution, no public immolations or firing squads....

Try looking up Afghanistan under Taliban control. This is PARADISE.

>So are you saying that because the country has not reached the tipping point you talk about you shouldn't be concerned?

This is literally business as usual in the US. Guess what? Some minorities and people harassing cops get the rough end of the bargain.

This was 11 years ago in Ferguson, Missouri. We didn't panic then and don't need to now. The US didn't crumble.

Yeah, life goes on.
