It begins

We'll probably never hear from Portland Man again
---

He's lucky.

He stood up, walked up to a guy and reached into his pockets to pull something out.

If Police were as bad as progressives say, he could have been tackled or shot.
---

Kinda brave doing that while resembling Sideshow Bob
---

What if the Mayor is diabetic. Wouldn't this be attempted murder?

Good for him

If any of you idiots on either side of this could stop constantly making idiotic generalizations and taking such a polarized and emphatic us and them stance it'd go along ways to improving your joke ass political scene.

But never mind. Just keep going till it implodes America.

*Guy actually does something stupid due to his side, that proves the "other side's" statements aren't true.*

*someone points this out*

"OMG STOP GENERA:OZOG YPU NEED TO BE IN THE MIDDLE!"

Fuck you captain soapbox, you're not smart, not all things are equal. This guy was dumb and his point is self-defeating. People are going to point that out and they are correct to do so.

being silly presumptions of both sides that feeds into a cycle of extrapolated caricaturing, rather than attacking an idiotic singular incident on its own merits

if anything, 'not all things are equal' should speak more to the fact that this singular incident shouldn't necessarily need to be representative of other trends or viewpoints, no?

But the inicident I am attacking that you people are angry is being attacked only could occur because the claims people doing the incident make are not true.

You can't soapbox at people for pointing that out.

That's just a lazy evasion
---

but nobody soapboxed pointing that out, as opposed to instead contesting the continued and less meaningful use of a generic 'people,' 'progressives,' and 'police'

and not everyone under those headers are equal

again, this was a misguided (and quite poorly reasoned) individual, but a non-shooting as response neither removes other incidents of such nor helps build a trend of the opposite given its incredibly specific interior council meeting setting

why create more caricatures to try and smash others?

It's not creating caricatures to point out that the progressive description of the police force and government is false.

False

you left out the 'as opposed to' that applies to the quoted post

It's not creating caricatures to point out that the progressive description of the police force and government is false.

but it is creating a caricature to attempt to point that out utilizing a singular cartoonish incident within an entirely different setting than that of where the standard progressive description typically takes place

it's just not a viable or strong dismissal to their caricature, and begs an even more simplified response
