If we're going to have a debate abt anti-fa violence can we start each piece w/confessional abt the wars you've supported?

And can we also have a discussion abt white supremacy among cops in the US? Once you dispense with THAT then scold anti-fa violence.

We HAVE organized violence on the part of the state. Wars. Law enforcement that kills black people w/impunity. Is that violence cool?

State monopoly on the legitimate use of force is the first step to reducing violence, and the foundation of all further steps.

Did you answer my question abt white cops killing people of color with impunity? I'll wait until you do.

My point is, this is a false equivalency. But of course the state should act lawfully and not murder. That's the second step.

Nope. Your point is you didn't want to answer the hard questions.

If all debates can be unilaterally framed by one side....oh, nevermind.

You can't answer two simple questions. Sort of a statement of silence, I'd say. Just answer the questions, admit your own biases.

Fine. Most wars are bad, but some are OK. White supremacy is bad, among cops or otherwise. I answered your questions. Accomplishes nothing.
