Sometimes, corner stores are all the pharmacy you need. ChaosAzeroth posted... So.. They're being the police in this currently broken police system? If the system wasn't busted and there weren't rotten apples getting away with BS we wouldn't be at these riots in the first place. Pretty much. It kind of baffles me, really. "They're protesting police brutality, so let's unambiguously prove them right by assaulting peaceful protesters." The police don't exactly seem to be trying to prove the complaints wrong, and it's not doing them any favours as far as public opinion goes. Accrovideogames posted... So according to you, soldiers shooting civilians isn't a war crime because said civilians were unarmed. Okay, that makes total sense. If there's no actual armed conflict going on during which they're committing said murders? Potentially. Shooting civilians in the process of fighting a war is a war crime, but shooting civilians during an otherwise peaceful time could be considered plain old murder instead. Obviously, there are some nuances to consider in defining the term, and I don't know if this would actually qualify as a formal armed conflict. Sometimes, even if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's actually a goose, and you'll need to cook it a bit differently to get comparable results. Revelation34 posted... You'd be automatically wrong. Milk is a food. Just because you can use it as something else doesn't make it a medical supply. If shirts are being torn up to use as bandages, shirts are a medical supply. If water is being used to wash wounds, water is a medical supply. If tampons are being used to staunch the bleeding from gunshot wounds, tampons are a medical supply. Something having a more mundane use than first aid doesn't preclude it from being a medical supply. Medical supplies are anything that is being used for medical purposes in the context in question. There's no reason to seek out a definition other than that. Revelation34 posted... Yeah destroying milk is a war crime after all. Attacking medics and destroying their supplies is, yes. Revelation34 posted... Oh Doucette. Post a better source than somebody who just bot blocks people. If the best response you have to hours of video footage is flimsy ad hominem like that, you should really take a step back and realize that you have no position to defend. --- This is my signature.
