    An armed society is a polite society...and that included cops. FB_IMG_1590701079537.jpg

    Standing Rock: The police used sponge rounds, bean bag rounds, stinger rounds, teargas grenades (banned), pepper spray, mace, tasers, sound weapons, concussion grenades, water hoses (during freezing temperatures), and attack dogs to subdue unarmed civilians protesting a pipeline from being built on sacred land

    Minneapolis Protests: The police used tear gas & flash grenades to detain unarmed civilians protesting the murder of George Floyd by multiple police officers

    Anti-Lockdown Protests: The police used non-violence against an armed militia who stormed the Michigan Capitol Building demanding an end to quarantine, and even called for the death of the Governor

    The difference between the three is that the anti lockdown protesters weren’t violent or breaking the law.

    The lock down protesters weren't smashing cash registers at target. Huge difference...

    And attacked disabled whites in wheelchairs. The usual "whites are the only racist" types are curiously silent.

    Oh ferchristsakes. Make a pro 2A post and people play the race card. Anti-white, anti-black...I don't care about your prejudices.

    The point is if society were well armed not only would said society be much more polite to each other but the pigs would be much more polite to society as well.

    Your point is valid, you're just making it sortof confusedly imo.

    The lockdown protesters didn't get riot-cops responding because they weren't rioting, not because they were armed. If they were rioting and armed, it would've been a very different situation.

    I think what your getting at is that folks don't riot where the victims are likely armed. They tend to stick to places and properties where guns are either restricted or theres a majority of folks opposed to being armed.

    Actually, it appeared he was screaming past the cop's face - to the left of his face.

    And it was posted 100 times if it was posted once...
