Good luck getting Lauren Boebert's etc gun's away from her without her calling to action.
And then what? Shootouts when any cop tries to detain you? These torture houses aren't the first stop after arrest. And people aren't going to jump straight to lethal violence at a traffic stop.
Cool. You first.
That's a cowardly comment if I've ever read one. You could have just shut up but had to show the world your a afraid to stand up for what's right.
By shooting cops? Starting a revolution? Are you doing that? People love to call for violence on the web while sitting at home doing nothing. It's hypocrisy plain and simple.
I'm not saying they shouldn't do that. But every person saying "just go do X" while they themselves are too cowardly to be doing it first is pathetic. I'm not on here saying we should all violently overthrow the police state. Because I'm not out there.
By stopping the wrong doing that is causing real harm to people.
You can try to justify your lack of action all you want but I see you.
Nobody, other than you, said anything along the lines of "you go first."
Ideas are being shared on how to combat injustice. That is doing something. Well it's doing a hell of a lot more than "Cool. You first"
Ummm people have started fighting back... a cop was killed in broad day light in his cruiser for simply sitting there, as a cop, in his cruiser... we have full families at weddings fighting cops now too... people are fed up and fighting back... it only going to get worse
Am I taking crazy pills? Why are you getting downvoted lmao, what is the average age group here? Seems like a bunch of edgy teenagers.
This always happens. Internet tough guys. Everyone pushing for revolution and arming themselves. But they never have useful ideas what to do next not nor are they bothering to even protest.

You have been brainwashed as to how horrible a society can become, to the point you think an armed populace rebelling is impossible / impractical.
The more people start thinking like you do, the faster we move towards repeating that cycle of oppression the founding fathers attempted to break out of.
In one ear types response, out the other. 👍
So you should be out there, gunning down cops and setting a good example for us! Not whinging online about people telling you to get on with it.
Lmao, misunderstanding a point to the highest possible degree 💀
So what is the point? Talking about revolution endlessly but never doing anything? Bitching out anyone who calls you out on this? Enlighten me.
So you're not actually going to do anything yourself? You just want to inspire other people to go storm police stations and shoot up judges?
Yeah, you're not suspicious at all.
Oh honey.. people are shooting cops, for being cops... there was a huge story about it happening last week.. and I will be surprised if we don't hear more stories of it
No, the secret is to win. You play the game on the side of the road or in custody with the cops. Then when you have your chance you ambush. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police_officers
Yes
OK. Goodluck with that. I don't think it's a sustainable solution right now. But you do you.
Sustainability is the last thing I'm concerned about when it comes to state sanctioned violence.
