@Energetic_Nova Good. @benroyce @mkoek @randahl

@Energetic_Nova I hope you understand that I am just goofing with Ben to give him a chance to sound off about this again. We are not disagreeing, just so its clear.

@benroyce @mkoek @randahl

@benroyce 🤣 My man. 👍 👍

@mkoek @randahl

@benroyce "but Ben," they cry, "you can't BROWBEAT us into caring!"

@mkoek @randahl

@benroyce "but Ben," they say, "the no-shows make some good points. We'd be supporting genocide!"

@mkoek @randahl

@mkoek I think he's got guys planted as foils who will disagree with him just so he can lay it all out for everyone again. ;)

@benroyce @randahl

@benroyce huh, hadn't noticed. Weird. I'll check again.

@randahl

@benroyce really? I'm going to need you to boost those, I must have missed them somehow ;)

@randahl

@benroyce 🤔 tell me more

@randahl

@benroyce I fully expect to be voting against some shit I won't like, and given the demographics, I expect to lose in my town. Gonna fucking vote anyway though.

@randahl

@SeanCasten The correct framing here is they were not policing an agitator, they were gang assaulting a victim. Instead of controlling his extremities, as a police officer would have, they are pistol whipping and kicking him. Even if he did have a gun, at that point he was justified in defending himself with it, and never would have been able to had they been doing an actual job, instead of trying to instigate a murder and a riot.
