minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•11 months agoI like the part where I never said otherwise, but you’re supplying single instances of police abusing their power. Just because some cop involved shootings are unwarranted doesn’t mean every cop involved shooting is unwarranted. Don’t get me wrong, I want major police reform like you do, but let’s not be disingenuous about the statistics.
minus-square520linkfedilink3•edit-211 months ago I like the part where I never said otherwise, but you’re supplying single instances of police abusing their power. I provided one example. There are hundreds upon hundreds of others. Or perhaps I should provide you links about how this is literally how they’re trained to operate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETf7NJOMS6Y But it’s not like I’ve been saying that cops never actually face threats. They do. But they treat literally everything as a threat on the off chance that they might accidentally be correct.
