Was it a protest situation or through police interaction? Yes I’m aware the police are disproportionately shooting minorities, and shooting people in general too often.
Again, I am not saying it is necessarily a good way. It might be necessary in some cases in the future, but I am definitely not in anyway insisting. I just pointed out how armed civilians CAN “push back” with out violence, but also with out having violence affected to them.
At the same time, should people who are able to resist authoritarianism NOT do so because others aren’t treated the same? That doesn’t seem like good logic, to me. Even if whites aren’t affected the same way, shouldn’t they also confront authority when it is being abused in the ways they can? Isn’t limiting authority’s power going to also have positive effects on minorities in the long run?
I guess one example I can think of was in Ferguson there was a group of libertarian types who were there and said they just wanted to make sure that the protestors could be heard and weren’t assaulted by the cops. Now, I recall the one short news clip when it happened, so if someone points out these people were shit in other ways, then mea culpa.
