      Lots of y'all on this website keep trying to explain to me how resisting arrest is actually a capital offense punishable by summary execution, and that it's ok for armed vigilantes to kill protestors. (1/2)

      As a historian, let me explain to *you* that behind great evils like the holocaust, slavery, and lynchings are people just like you, explaining to the rest of us why those are actually acceptable and excusable, because you live in a tiny world of hate and fear. (2/2)

          Also, Tennessee v. Garner made it plain that cops couldn't simply shoot fleeing suspects simply because they were fleeing. I think that's when the White Power Structure folded the "I was in fear of my life," defense into police executions, but I may be twisting the timeline.

          The timeline jibes with my recollection too.

          Exactly. A whole lot of fragility and cowardice driven by irrational fear based anger and hate... basically the RNC political platform.

          Perhaps this kind of violent BS would be a little less popular if textbooks and media didn't conspire to make it heroic.pic.twitter.com/WmA9gsVBbX

          Absolutely. I'm a white man working in the justice system and even I find them awful to deal with, so I think that says a lot... 😬
