What? cops regularly shoot people and get away with it. ALL.THE.DAMN.TIME. And if you showed up at their house making demands of them, how do you think they’re going to react? Invite you in for tea and crumpets? Or do you think that they’re going to react angrily when you’re there, while they are at home with their family, making demands of them. What’s not realistic is expecting people to go outside the social norms, especially regarding going against the police, a group of people we all know can act pretty much unilaterally with regards to life and death with literally no real world consequences.
I have literally no idea. How am I supposed to know something like that?
That isn’t what we’re talking about. Apples and oranges.
Because we live in the United States is why. Yes, plenty of us have more collectivist ideas about society, but NOT EVERYONE DOES. The people who are in positions of power especially. That is the ideological framework we are operating under and NOT acknowledging that is incredibly naive and can be down right dangerous.
I never said other wise. But individual safety does matter as well. Just because you don’t feel like getting shot by a pissed off cop is a big deal doesn’t mean we all feel that way.
I have done nothing here but engage you politely and with respect. Yet you are entirely unwilling to admit that you could very well be wrong.
