Reply to comment by [deleted] in After Arrest of 7 Cops, LAPD Reminds Its Own Officers Not to Drink and Drive by Exastiken

This completely ignores the fact that people are arming themselves to defend against lawless cops. Because who else is going to do it, the cops?

When you act like an occupier in a society you don’t live in, people are going to respond to that.

We just had a state legalize shooting cops breaking into your home because that’s where US policing is at these days. We don’t need to run to their defense on hiring issues when it’s a problem they created

I mean, if you criminalize everything than everyone is a criminal. The average American breaks numerous laws each day, not out of any malice, but because our thousands upon thousands of laws are layered in such a way as to make sure we’re all guilty of something.

Did you have the wrong plant? Did you cross the street not in the 2% of road reserved for pedestrians? Is your house up to code? There’s always a law being broken and corrupt cops ready to use them.

You’ve clearly never had your life and freedom threatened by an emotionally volatile person feels in a heated situation.

That’s good, but it also seems to lack perspective on the current state of affairs. Mind you, I didn’t make the law that says it’s now okay to shoot cops who go too far, I just paid attention to the circumstances that made it necessary.
