Here is the full quote. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get your paperwork in order or the police have carte blanche to breakup your peaceful protest? That doesn't sound like protecting or serving. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I made a simple point that just because the police can use force in dispersing crowds (in this instance protests we're referring to as generally all DC protests) doesn't mean that's the best course of action. And for the rest of the day I have responded to mostly comments that I have not made and the general aspersions as to why I have been silent in this thread on every other pertinent matter (because I don't spend as much time as I used to in this time suck). This call out just cements the fact that no one bothered to read or comprehend my initial comment. What bearing does your specific situation have on my point that I would consider retracting?

Don't you dare play that card with me you gullible son of a B word!! My dog is BLACK!!!

Since gullibility abounds, yes we should discuss the appropriate number. I have 4 Jewish friends and they can't come over for dinner because I don't cook Kosher. But you only have 2?!?!? Who is the anti-semite now?!?!? You know what, don't bother with an answer. It didn't work at Nuremberg and it won't work here!!

I don't get it either but I'll have to accept it since there is nothing more just than an angry white woman.

I'm going to need you to cite your entire "not racist" resume in chronological order before we will even consider inviting you into the club. What color are your pets?

Its far less weird than having friends who have no skin color. Where are you finding these people?

How many black friends do you have? More importantly, how many times have they been to your house for dinner?

One post you're claiming some moral or gentlemanly high ground and in the next you're a tough guy who isn't concerned how his brash attitude rubs people the wrong way. How novel. F-

The insults started around page 325. You'll never guess who cast the first stone, chief.

So how many opinions was it that you have created for me in the absence of any statements you have personally witnessed? Greater or less than 10? Take your shoes off if its more than 10.

Hi boyst.

Go back and read all of your responses to my posts. Count how many opinions have you falsely attributed to me based on statements you haven't seen me make.

I suppose I could declare that since I have not personally witnessed you (or anyone else in this thread) denouncing the murder of innocent black men to the max or condemning police brutality to the max and strongly considering that most of your (and everyone else's) posts pertain to looters and rioters rather than the impetus for the protest in the first place, that the bad actors in the law enforcement community have your support and you are minimizing injustice and its corrosive effect on society; but I'm not going to because that is asinine and I don't believe you hold any of those views.

Settle down, snowflake. You're so uppity when you get called on your disparate and inconsistent opinions. You're freaking out! You just dropped an OMG basically interspersed with little claps. Do you smell toast? I'm actually not a big fan of government force in any of the above applications but I am happy to find middle ground with you and agree to move on with our new lives as admitted and unabashed hypocrites! It feels pretty good. You gonna make it? And what's up with everything you disagree with as virtue signalling now? There could be no other reason for having an opinion that differs from Joe in Winslow except someone wanting to demonstrate virtue?? And me of all people, who has no virtue as demonstrated throughout this thread, what could I possibly have to signal? PPP has agreed I support violence against cops for ***** sake! You're becoming a caricature.

Set the record straight then Joe. Below is where you have stood on the issues. How does this make sense? Government force used to impose quarantines: Tyranny Government force to restrict hours on private enterprise: Tyranny Military force to enforce curfews, dispel assembly, and put down looting/civil unrest: Justified

1. I call out your hypocrisy. 2. You tell me to reconcile YOUR opinions. 3. You call me a hypocrite when I can't? Brilliant.

Those are your beliefs, hypocrite. Its not my responsibility to reconcile them for you.

You answer first and hypocrisy will be abundantly clear.

Quarantine = tyranny Masks = tyranny Deploying the military on U.S. Citizens = a welcome sight! Yup, hes a true patriot!

Your argument is built on which outrages me more and you think it proves your point? Tell me, Magox, which part of the past week's events outrage me most? Let me play this game too. The mere fact that you're more outraged about protesters and the ensuing chaos than the police murdering citizens tells me everything I need to know about this authoritarian society we are living in today. Be better.

Yes, read the post I quoted. CS gas is impermissible in warfare. FACT. CS gas is A-OK for use against civilians. FACT. What is your issue?

Since when does condemning police brutality mean I support ANTIFA, looting, and violent acts against the police? This is such a juvenile argument. Whataboutism rather than respond to any substance of my point.

I'm just as focused on McAtee, the civilians who were run over in NYC, the multiple protesters who were gang beat in the streets, pepper sprayed with minimal provocation. As a functional adult, I am capable of understanding that violence against the police is wrong while also understanding that looting is wrong and yet still having an issue with the number of instances of police brutality I am witnessing during protests about police brutality.

The public doesn't work for the police. My research is fine. Your reading comprehension could improve. So impermissible in warfare but appropriate for our citizens??? Nothing to see here. Law enforcement is once again above any reproach.

Clearly the smart answer from law enforcement is more of the same. Winning back the public trust one flashbang at a time. CS gas isn't permissible under the Geneva Convention but if the police manual says you should dispense it like Pez if you doubt they have a permit then it must be the right thing to do.
