DBF on police brutality part II

Post by Dragon Ball Fan »

I wanted to stop for real but I feel the need to say this on Principal. The conversation about this is solely on the innocent people being attacked for mere association with Russia but when radicals murdered police officers or tried to prevent them from being taken to the ER, it always pivoted to the bad things other police officers did when it was discussed.

That has more to do with when two sides are rather polarized. Take this video for example and watch how one side bombards Jon, using the Israel situation as an example:

It has more to do with rhetoric that gets tossed between two sides and almost always leads to no solution.

This situation isn't terribly similar, given the drastic dissociation between the corrupt Russian government and Russian demographics in the US.
..What mirror universe?

Okay but I saw it as similar enough and just think it is hypocritical.

Russian diaspora are not responsible for the actions of the dictator currently forcing Russia into an expansionist war. Is is beyond their power to change Putin’s actions or stop being of Russian descent.

Active duty officers are responsible for contributing to the culture of police brutality and extortion strangling this country. It is within their power to stop being police officers and join those petitioning for an end to modern policing practices.

Hope that explained things.

But my problem is when cops are the victims, no one talks exclusively about the victim in these cases, it's like using someone's death or injury for their own agenda, like what John Doyle did with that kid that was shot to death by some crazy guy.

Again, I want to stop and am no longer stressed out but this does seem hypocritical to me.
