    So pushing isn't violence in your world? :roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol: So pushing other people, not violence. Hurting the poor innocent target, by taking its hard earned stuff, violence. Got you.

    I have thought through my positions. I have presented evidence. I have presented arguments. You and the other cheer leaders for fascism are simply such good sheep that you can't even imagine that the forces of state violence might use that violence for nefarious reasons. This coming from people who 99% of the time tell us how evil government is. However, when the forces of state violence go around assaulting their own citizens for peacefully protesting, you all shout in robotic unity "You should have blindly done exactly what the government forces told you to do!! Then they wouldn't have attacked you!!" The stupidity and hypocrisy of it is truly astounding.

    The rebels during the American revolution were considered criminals and terrorists.

    And if they had lost they were dead, and they accepted that.

    Anecdotes often are evidence. Our criminal justice system is built around anecdotal evidence. Do you genuinely not understand that? On top of that, it isn't one anecdote. It is a series of anecdotes, which makes it no longer anecdotal, that makes it a pattern. On top of that, I also linked to multiple long term research papers which weren't anecdotal at all. What evidence was presented to the contrary? Lastly, anecdotal evidence SHOULD be taken with a grain of salt, but on the other side there is NO EVIDENCE AT ALL. Anecdotal evidence has its flaws, but it is vastly superior to blind faith and a complete absence of evidence.

    What a simple world

    The “left” are the “forces of evil”

    Whilst the right are the “forces of good”

    Sorry but I want to live in a world where people are treated equally, where police do kneel on someone’s neck until they die, where those who have plenty share with those ahi do not

    You know - Christian values, those things I have yet to see from the right

    Those videos show the start of it. They show protestors protesting and police assaulting them. The fact that this clashes with your preconceptions and your worldview should make you challenge your worldview, not the evidence!!

    Well said!

    It is sad so few are ignorant of these basic logical evidence strategies

    Anecdotes are not representative of anything other than that one incident. It doesn’t prove or disprove any argument made outside of that one incident. Using it as evidence for anything else is foolish. Our criminal justice system is built around anecdotes but also ruled on those anecdotes. How do youuu not get that? It is a series of very few anecdotes that doesn’t at all paint the picture you wish it did. Your argument is weak. Your blind faith in these narratives based on anecdotes is absurd. The fact you think there is no evidence that temporary force works shows you are stuck in a bubble. You make judgments based on emotion and have those emotions manipulated by a simple anecdotal video lol. Try reason and logic instead.

    it is so sad that so few actually think he made a good point. Everything there he said was quickly and easily dismantled.
    It’s this emotional thinking based on anecdotes that has such a large portion of the overly emotional population believing racism is at the heart of every issue.

    No you have not, you haven’t thought them through at all. You see a video and develop overly emotional positions. These people are rioting and deserve every bit of the force being used. We want smaller government but that doesn’t mean we don’t want them to do their basic jobs of protecting us. How you could find that to be mutually exclusive shows you haven’t at all thought this through.

    They gave a lawful command & then enforced it because they didn’t move.

    Problem Solved !

    It’s not Christian to steal.

    what you want is to steal from the wealthy. Not have them share.
    Easy mistake to make when you listen to talking points without thinking them through .

    Well..... I challenge you to show me a law that gives the Australian media the right to ignore the commands of the police and not be forced to move.

    This is America, not kangaroo land.

    Not everyone is Christian. I’m not, I keep what’s mine. Nothing wrong with that.

    Actually it doesn't it starts after everything has gone down. And the fact that you insult somebody just for simply asking a question for you to provide and documented evidence really shows that you've lost the whole argument

    I know right I asked for contacts on a video and the video starts after everything has gone dow I presume it looked like some kind of protest And the very 1st scene within few seconds is the cop pushing someone over.
    There is a reason why most judges don't allow videos that don't show the whole thing from start to end to be admitted into evidence

    Yeah in order to have society you have to have laws, and for people who refuse to follow the laws you have to have enforcement.

    The only alternative is lack of society it anarchy.

    No he wasn't. The move was towards him but never made contact or they would have screamed about being struck like mad little kids. Be honest here.

    The cameraman was thumped because he was not behind the barrier... elsewhere in the country a cop was shot in the head from behind. I don't blame them for not wanting unknowns behind them.

    The areas where the riots occurred are controlled by the left ... mayors, governors, etc.

    The red states were relatively calm.
