Fuck off, Nazi

Feel free to lie to yourself all you want. I’m done here.

The lack of it being mentioned by the police is a good reason to believe that Tazers and Pepper Spray were not used. Otherwise they would have lead with that when talking about this case. On top of that, the officer in question shot this man in the back. Three times. And I’m supposed to believe that all non-lethal means to stop this man were exhausted? I highly doubt it.

And just because a person does wrong and deserves punishment does not mean they deserve to be murdered by the state. This person had the potential to be dangerous. That doesn’t mean that he gets an automatic death sentence because some cop decided so. And I’d very much argue unloading a gun in a population center is far more dangerous then any agitated man with a knife.

I may not have been there personally, but you weren’t either. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just as valid to be critical of the police in question as I have been. After all: you’ve been doing essentially the exact same thing by defending the police’s actions without any evidence that they exhausted all other non-lethal means.

I am not sure how pepper spray is supposed to stop someone from wildly slashing around.

Blinding someone takes out a lot of their capabilities. It’s hard to hit a target you can’t see. And the vast majority of people with pepper spray in their eyes are going to grab at their eyes first from the pain/discomfort. I’m surprised I have to point this out.

Been many times proven to be unreliable: Highly depends on what the attacker is wearing or which mental state he is in.

The vast majority of people tend to tense up when tazed. Some people handle it better than others, but most people are getting stopped by a tazer. And again, pepper spray is another option if the tazer failed. The gun should have only been a last resort if no other options worked and the suspect was still trying to stab someone.

Guess we should task you with the investigation, since you appear to know a lot more than the rest of us.

They literally shot the man in the back three times, but K.

Do cops in Germany not have Pepper Spray? Do they not have tazers? It seems like there were plenty of options to deal with the threat at hand without killing them. But the cop decided to take the US approach of shoot first ask questions later.

Whenever I see bald Elon I’m reminded that he’s wearing a shit-carpet across his head.

You’re being pedantic. The original point is referring to how indoctrinating the pledge of allegiance can be. If you’re being made to do something since you’re a very young kid and risk being scolded when you don’t do it: you’re essentially being forced.

You do realize fixing the water supply doesn’t address the health issues caused from lead exposure automatically, Right? The water supply may be better comparatively. But the issues that it causes in Flint, Michigan are far from resolved.

Legally, schools and teachers can’t force a student to perform the pledge of allegiance. But it’s also taught so early in school that most students don’t even question it as something to do.

Anectdotally: I was regularly performing the pledge of allegiance (literally said every morning of school) since kindergarten in the US. Also anecdotally: I’ve literally seen a teacher scold student(s) for not performing the pledge of allegiance. The latter case may not be as common; but the former definitely is common in the US.

If Harris was president we’d be seeing failure after continued failure to properly put Trump in prison. Which is my exact point. The US government will protect Trump, and as an extension fascists, regardless of who is interested white house. Not even in just the US, but internationally.

Even when Biden was president it was rare to see any insurrectionist get more than 10 years in prison. And that was with a DoJ that should have been ruthless in every instance.

The solution? The system is too big to sustain itself. The US is an ouroborus that will not live out the century at this rate. The best answer I can see is a balkanized and restructured US. At least then there is a good chance of seeing a less widespread amount of damage on the world stage from a dying, flailing empire.

Yeah, because voting automatically makes every single fascist/imperialist element from a government disappear. Something that’s been building up in the US since the early 20th century and fostered by nearly every aspect of the US government. Even in roles that have no elected position. Yeah, voting would have definitely saved us. 🙄

This is why no one who understands the US system takes this line of thinking seriously.

And yet Biden supplied it at the same rate Trump has. Despite multiple people insisting that Biden was better, which he wasn’t. Biden supplied the genocide just as much, and actually over-saw it as the vast majority of Gaza was flattened.

Only people as intelligent as Trump think that’s going to happen. Israel will never cede land, not even to the US. This is an excuse for Israel to continue leveling and exterminating the Palestinian people as they have been since Oct 7th, 2023 (and prior)

Again, what has Trump actually done that has sped up or armed the genocide that Biden already hasn’t? The way I see it is that it’s the same level of support. The only difference being that Trump is mask off about the entire thing.

Proof? I see this claimed constantly with absolutely zero evidence. Some people claim that Trump approved 2,000 lbs bombs that were stopped under Biden, but that isn’t true since Biden never truly stopped them. Biden claimed to have stopped sending 2,000 lbs bombs, but continued to do so anyways during his tenure. What has Trump done outside of enable the same genocide that was already taking place?

Trump is an idiot and a fascist. But I would like to see any evidence that he somehow sped up or made the genocide worse. Even the recent $7.4 billion that Trump approved doesnt compare. Its not even the biggest sale of weapons to Israel this year considering the sale approved under Biden before he left office. How much was the amount Biden sent? It was $8 billion.

Over 3 years ago in the US: several police officers murdered a black man named George Floyd over him using a counterfeit bill within a local convenience store. They placed him on the ground and at least 2 of them placed their knees on Mr. Floyd, including one officer named Derek Chauvin who placed his knee on the neck of Mr. Floyd.

Chauvin would hold his knee there for over 7 minutes until Mr. Floyd was unresponsive. He was declared dead not even an hour later. The death of Mr. Floyd caused a wave of protests across the nation as a result of his death, and there was a greater emphasis placed on murders done by American Police. This was also essentially back to back with the public’s discovery of the murder of Ahmaud Abrey who was killed by a former cop; as well as the murder of Brianna Taylor by cops who went to the wrong house in plain clothes and started shooting.

Simply put, a lot of people don’t trust police in the US. Many find that police are often useless in investigations, and the body count that they rack up as alleged professionals is terrifying. This sentiment has only grown over the past several years, and there is an ever growing list of murder done by the police in the US with a very large portion being innocent civilians such as the ones mentioned above.

I hope this helped some.
