Top tier? The Snes was top tier. The ps2 was top tier. The Switch is top tier.

The gamecube was mid. Like every other major system it had some gems, but thats not enough.

I thought you'd name at least one plot hole and not just things you thought were dumb

Can you name some things that you don't like about Naruto?

In this conflict there is no "bad guy". Bad guy implies that the opposition is mostly good. This is a conflict that is funded by large powers that mostly affects civilians.

More Palestinian civilians have died from Israel's hands than vice versa. This is a result largely of a power differential. If Hamas could, they would kill many many many more Israelis. But that doesn't change the fact that the Palestinians have had to endure being in a cage, burying their dead while the world watches. However, I ALSO don't expect sympathy when civilians are targeted, because the civilians aren't the people that caused this problem. If some country retaliated against the u.s., even if it was justified, if it targeted civilians I would not say... "fair, next".

This conflict has been going on so long because it is a nuanced conflict. If it was easy to solve, it likely would have been solved, but it is not, so it continues.

No secret that the left has to be like 10 times as good... seeing as the media is team red cap.

No, slaps on the wrist for appearances sake don't make them suddenly oh so "neutral/left"

This isn't really a media thing, the left wing w
Is just quicker to abandon people who have done bad things than the right does. The media reports on things the right wing does, the right wing just doesn't care.

Looks like most people itt are more than fine with the cops killing her tho.

The conservatives are, for the most part. And admittedly, they probably would be okay with her being shot in more dubious situations as well.

I just hold that even though this is unfortunate and tragic, if this was literally the worst story of cop behavior I had ever heard, I would not understand the animosity towards them. Of course, there are many worse stories, and so I do.

Basically, there are people who will ALWAYS side against cops utilizing deadly force, and there are people who will ALWAYS side with them. Then there is a spectrum in between. In my mind, taking an action that could kill/severely injure a police officer when they're technically not doing anything wrong (trying to detain you for a crime), is grounds for deadly force even if I'd rather they not. If she backed away from the cops and they fired, I would be on the opposite side. Committing the crime of theft isn't grounds for deadly force, and trying to escape isn't grounds for deadly force, but taking an action that can be interpreted as attacking with deadly force is grounds for it, even if it was in an attempt to escape.

If she hit the cop and killed him, she'd go to jail (rightfully) for murder. Because of course, you have no right to not be arrested/detained. And I don't think anyone thinks you should have that right. If the lady shot was instead some less sympathetic to liberal sensibilities, people would immediately change their mind

In fact, we can look at January 6 and think of the lady who immediately (and also rightfully) got shot. Different target, but she was a MAGA, so CE's response was (fuck around/find out).

If a conservative ran over an aggressive-sounding protester in front of their car, nobody would (rightfully) believe their "I was so scared"

Just be aware of your inherent bias. Even if the cops did not act optimally, the fault lies in the person who a. committed the crime b. made a reckless and dangerous action, and really that's the end of it. There's nothing really much more to discuss.

If the cops are lying, which of course, is very possible, sure, we have a different discussion, but there seem to be several different arguments going on, and one seems to be the police shouldn't have the right to stop somebody if that person might hurt them to escape, because if so, then they might have to use deadly force. This is absolutely silly.

That's not why Streets of Rage 3 is worse. I would argue that SoR 2 simply has better gameplay and looks smoother, but SoR 3 is better in terms of content, level variety, and has a lot of cool ideas. It's why I really like SoR remake

The lady shouldn't have accelerated towards the cop. Fundamentally at the end of the day, swap the characters in the story around and we wouldn't be debating this. This illustrates that the problem at the end of the day here is perception of cops, not the specific actions this cop took. If this story was the only story I heard about cops I'd have no problem with them.

You don't need to Stan for everyone making reckless and frankly dangerous decisions to make a point.

Gamefaqs is not a good forum
