In the article that I posted, woman threw 2 punches. Got 1 back.

[OverMaster]

I didn't get the punches myself, but I can still tell not all punches were created equal.

Regardless, law enforcement is not there to get even. It's never been about a personal thing. Guy throws two punches, if one suffices to subdue him, one is all it takes and you stop there, you are suposed to be the bigger and better man, and last time I checked, the law code you were enforcing was going a wee bit beyond the eye by an eye.

I mean a black man got shot for calmly talking to the police and saying he had a gun and permits, while a pregnant mom and young children had guns drawn on them for the small crime of a child stealing a Barbie doll. In neither scenario do the police even show an iota of restraint or actual police training that isn't just murdering people the moment they step out of line.

And that's what happened. As for the magnitude of the punch, unfortunately, RoboCop UIs where the strength of the punch is clearly listed in numerical value does not exist IRL.

And there's also incidents where initially "anti-cop" activists get accosted by actual criminals and suddenly want more police presence.

[AAM1232]

That's irrelevant though. You don't need robots or UI to tell you that rapid escalation of violence is bad, or that as a police officer you are expected to be held to a higher standard.

[Mattias]

Any crime, in a just society, does not merit a death consequence from authorities unless:

A) The subject has undergone a full trial by peers, is found guilty beyond reasonable doubt, and a death sentence is established for them, or

B) The subject is considered a lethal threat in a believable

Or there can just be no death penalty at all. Especially given how many times the US has executed innocent people for crimes they didn't commit, which they only found out about years after the fact.

And that's what happened. As for the magnitude of the punch, unfortunately, RoboCop UIs where the strength of the punch is clearly listed in numerical value does not exist IRL.

No, but a 250 pound man should know that if he punches a 100 pound woman, he's going to hit a lot harder than she will. Or at least he should, since his entire career is about the proper application of force. It's literally what they're trained to do, if they can't do it properly, why do they even have the job?

[LegalLoliLover]

Huh, pretty sure that that woman was over 100 pounds, but I can't say for sure without actual numbers.

To be fair that asset would make him a remarkable politician.

Take that as you will.

I'll take it, like this:

[Twelveseal]

Bye-bye, NRA. Or at least a serious attempt to kill it, anyway.

The same mainstream media who freaks out about Nazi LARPers is also the same media who suck commie cock. Ha, "barbaric US". Whenever China was defeated, it was always against a "barbaric" force, whether it be the Mongols, the Manchurians, almost the Japanese if not for that spasmatic Pearl Harbor thing, whatever. Whenever someone tried to play nice or fair or diplomatic with them, they always went Art of War on them and screwed them over in the long run, as they did since the days of the Warring States period (which ended with the rise of everyone's favorite mercury bird man, of course). You want to topple the CCP? Be "barbaric", as much as it takes.

[AAM1232]

Imagine thinking Nazi LARPers are perfectly fine things to have lol. How brainless can one be?

[Zork Knight]

I think the point is less about Nazi LARPers being a perfectly fine thing to have, and more about condemning Nazi LARPers while at the same time praising China.

[LegalLoliLover]

Yep. Double standards. In the same vein as berating the Japanese Empire, but praising the Mongols. And the Manchurians. And to a lesser extent, the Soviets.

[rxrx]

Find a government without double standards. You can't.

[Zork Knight]

Find a government without double standards. You can't.

This was about the "mainstream media" though?

[rxrx]

This was about the "mainstream media" though?

I should fix it with find someone without double standards. You can, but it is damn hard.

[LegalLoliLover]

This was about the "mainstream media" though?

Again, yep. Unlike in China, the MSM of the US is not directly run by its government.

My dear, you think that you're playing Wolfenstein, but you're actually playing Mortal Kombat:

[AAM1232]

Again, what nonsense is this now? Can you actually make a point without a video or a meme?

[LegalLoliLover]

And why would I want to do that? As for the point... Did you watch the video? Really, it's China's hilarious choice of words when threatening the US. If you don't like it, you block me. Your sensitivities are not my problem.

[AAM1232]

Your lack of communication skills or critical thinking isn't exactly my problem, but it would be nice to see some of that sometime soon.
