I waded back into the AskATrumpSupporter subreddit, and quickly noped the fuck on outta there. It's so draining seeing conservatives politely answer questions, only to be met by absolute nonsense arguments and mistruths and lies.
It's just libs trying to stir shit up.
Don't spend another second of your life trying to convince a liberal on the internet about anything. Good chance you're talking to a paid worked in a cubicle working for the DNC, or literally a bot.
Politics are fun here, where you don't have to fight and argue with fools.
Just this week Reddit moved the goalposts and changed the quarantine message on The_Donald. First it said something about us going against law enforcement... lol... now with all this stuff they'd have to ban hundreds of subs by that standard that are all "KILL ALL COPS" right now. So they just changed the reason retroactively and now hating cops is suddenly okay - But T_D is still "quarantined"...
If the left didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.
There is no space for violence of any kind ... no matter who strikes first. The instigators this evening will be rooted out, they will be investigated, and they will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what?
And the person who ran after and attacked someone that was going backwards trying to get away from a mob.. They're in her prayers? The attackers?!?!
And they were there for one reason - to do the job that the state seems unable to do, protecting the city.
Aaaaand "The heavily armed individuals who flaunted themselves at the protest, calling themselves a "civil guard""...
Antifa clearly had their guns there too, as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/3D3J2J9
What about them? What do you call what they were doing??
So release all the rioters and drop all charges, but throw the book at anyone who defends themselves before even going to trial. Gotcha!
I think the main issue is there's no counter group to support. It's like you're either with BLM very very loudly, or against BLM very very silently.
Someone in the black community needs to start a counter protest group that agrees that police reform is necessary, and agrees that black people of course matter, but strongly disagrees with BLM's methods and tactics.
Who is the reasonable black family who doesn't want to see the country burned to the ground by a bunch of idiots supposed to support?
Does everything by the book
Except the things they can't do by the book
Because they don't want the evidence written down in any books... Someone might throw the book at them!
(at least the books they haven't burned or quietly disappeared from their libraries)
There were 2 officers. The one closest to the guy running away is the one that got hit with the tazer, and the other officer farther away is the one who shot his gun 3 times quickly, as far as I understand from the video.
I think you're thinking that it was one cop and he shot the guy after getting shot at with the tazer, and I don't think that's the case here.
The officer states in the full video that he felt the taser hit him but it didn't catch or whatever so he didn't get shocked. That's my understanding from what he said.
When asked, he answers and looks to the place where he felt it hit him, checking for marks, which is the natural thing anyone would do in that situation I think. Like "Oh yeah, I should check that", after forgetting to check because of all the commotion and adrenaline and such.
I suppose the arguments will be that perhaps that taser model can only be fired once, and therefore the weapon would have been inert after the first shot.
Counter defense is probably that things happen in real time suuuper fast, and he made the decision to shoot quickly after seeing him turn and fire.
Did he HAVE to shoot him? Maybe not. But I personally don't fault him for the split second decision.
Can you imagine China allowing American media companies to pump anti-China messaging through every newspaper, magazine, television channel, news website, and social media platform?
Of course not, they aren't that stupid.
So why does America allow it?
They're abusing a loophole in Democracy.
Ooooooooh we LIVE right now
