First of all, when you're in a situation which entirely because of your skin has a very significant chance of you being beaten or killed, you might panic too. But ignoring that whole discussion...

Making mistakes and lacking good judgement isn't a good reason to be beaten. Ever. In any reasonable world. The cops are the ones that are allegedly "professionals" who are supposedly trained to handle situations like this. We are the citizens they serve.

It's honestly insane that we excuse shit like this over pretty crap, like you are. If you're being honest about not defending cops, I don't think this is the time to start, bud.

Thanks for the explanation. I know Quebec separatism is a joke, didn't realize the complexities and how it relates to this statement

I might have misunderstood, but I thought this was just the Quebec party saying Canada should tell the monarchy to fuck off, not saying they should split from Canada. I know they do that too, but not here.

Not really sure that finally realizing it's time to ditch your shitty, archaic monarchy is the equivalent to leaving one of the most powerful and prosperous economic zones in the world

A) They have the highest population in the world. No shit dumbass. Now try doing it per capita.

B) You don't get to offload your country's production onto them and then pretend their emissions from that production are solely their responsibility.

Ftr, not at all a supporter of the Chinese regime, but at least choose reasonable things to criticize, not the few areas that are actually progressive in.

All other nuance and angles to this issue aside - how moronic do you have to be to think China is "commie"
