Comparing police brutality in the US to police brutality in Iran, a totalitarian theocracy, is ignorant at best.

This is just how analogy works. They made the analogy. I pointed out the flaw, analogy-wise.

In any case, one can make analogues between two things in different systems. There’s nothing wrong with that. In each case, police killed a citizen without cause.

No it’s really not.

US police kill with impunity members of many minority groups.

You’re right, it’s not “ignorant at best.” I was being diplomatic. Comparing US police to Irans religious police enforcing a dictators vision of sharia law, is fucking dumb.
