    We should condemn violence against the police precisely as we condemn it against citizens, for in a free society, they are equals.

        What? No. Polis = City (there needs to be a city before the citizens). Police comes from Politeia = City administration

        Exactly ♥ And it's always meant to be a civilian body, not a military one. But Big Gun needs to sell weapons & gear.

        the word arrest was not in that tweet. Interpretation is everything and people are misinterpreting the tweet

        its a play on the stereotype of cops saying "stop resisting" as an excuse to beat people

        I agree with your idea to let them do it then get them later on by the way

        they are not equals. One kills with impunity as part of an occupying force. Another dies for existing.

        is your argument that violence in poor communities in Chicago justifies police killing unarmed black men?

        No my argument is against people who cherrypick facts to make a point. You are one of those people.

        Whatever. Why don't you mention the 70% of non-blacks shot by police every year? Not fitting your narrative obviously.

        not cool to kill those ppl either dude. Also, black ppl are 15% of the pop, so they get killed at double proportion
