cjsdowg 05/27/20 10:53:25 AM #112:	Kami_no_Kami posted... The American Revolution is a false equivalency and even if it wasnt, it was a war. Do you want to start a war with the American government? Do you think that rioting is equivalent to war? Do you think that rioting will make people agree with your point of view? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you are an idiot. All that rioting will do is make our side look like a bunch of thugs who arent worth listening to. Just because violence feels good in the short term, it does not mean that its any kind of path toward long term progress. Rioting for a cause is like a a child trying to get his parents to buy him a toy by throwing a tantrum and kicking over tables. He has zero chance of success and almost 100% chance of making matters worse for himself because no one rewards or respects destruction. What has marching peacefully got us.

So we should just allow the police to continue to murder people whenever they feel like it? People tried peacefully to get the cop off the guy. They asked nicely. The cop murdered him anyway. You cannot use a system controlled and enforced by people like the murderer to bring the murderer to justice. This sort of shit is happening almost daily at this point, all over the country. You want a better analog than the American revolution, fine, the labor movement during the gilded age. Nothing short of the violence that happened during it would have brought about the reforms that were needed. People brought violence and got the change that was needed. They fought and they died, labor activists were murdered in their homes, but they got the changes they were fighting for. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:939778042] in Protests e...

They should have been on the phone calling other police stations and news stations. Im sure you guys will spin that however you want, but there was the guy recording thankfully and then the lady should have been on her phone calling literally everyone. If the girl calls 911 and says theres a man on the ground not breathing, an ambulance is on its way before the dispatcher even says another word.

ScazarMeltex 05/27/20 11:28:12 AM #127:	ChadMansplainer posted... this is the logic of an insane person. Are you serious? Look dude, how many people are you ok with the police murdering? Do you believe that the labor activists who fought and died in the labor movement were in the wrong? Do you believe they could have achieved anything through peaceful means? Do you understand that white men with guns were allowed to storm a state capitol building with zero consequences while these people who are understandably upset are being met with teargas and rubber bullets? That during the Bundy cattle standoff hundreds of white militia men were allowed to point guns at federal law enforcement and the marshals backed down and there were no consequences for any of them? That a lot of the same people were at Malhauer, and other than the one guy dumb enough to pull a gun during the takedown of the leadership they were also allowed to walk away with no consequences? You have to realize that there is a huge difference in this country of how white people are treated by law enforcement vs the way everyone else is treated. As the amount of shit like this that happens continues to grow, the more you will see minority communities lashing out in this way because they are scared and feel like they have nothing to lose. And they are right to do so. How long are you willing to wait before you are ok with doing something about this? How many people are you ok with the police murdering? How many cops are you ok with not facing any charges? Or being found innocent of what is blatantly murder? How many cops have to get off with manslaughter charges instead of murder because jurys won't convict cops of murder?

People tried peacefully to get the cop off the guy. They asked nicely. The cop murdered him anyway. You cannot use a system controlled and enforced by people like the murderer to bring the murderer to justice. This sort of shit is happening almost daily at this point, all over the country. You want a better analog than the American revolution, fine, the labor movement during the gilded age. Nothing short of the violence that happened during it would have brought about the reforms that were needed. People brought violence and got the change that was needed. They fought and they died, labor activists were murdered in their homes, but they got the changes they were fighting for. Good post. We need to see more uprising around the country if we truly want change.

That same direct physical intervention would have resulted in severe physical and legal complications for whoever took it.
