My “hypothesis” is simply that you’re downplaying the dangers of an attack with a melee weapon. They can be and often are deadly, regardless of how often they happen.
So should a cop respond with lethal force against a child because they have a garden tool, or has the rest of the planet been making a terrible mistake that only the Americans, with their off the charts levels of violence and incarceration, have figured out?
Do you think a militarized police force has a negative effect on violent crime and the rest of the world outside of places like Haiti and Somalia need to catch up with us?
You know what I think? I think it doesn’t matter what I think. Society is gonna do what it does regardless.
And as it seems, the general consensus of society in this regard is fuck the kids.
Epstein’s island, clergy abuse, school shootings, bombings, starvation, kidnappings, mutilations, etc. No matter the corner of the world, kids are getting fucked in every way possible.
You think these cops shooting a black and/or autistic kid makes them special? It doesn’t. Not even top ten of the most fucked up thing happening to kids across the world.
The outrage is ridiculous.
The cops aren’t the problem. They’re a symptom. They lack training, proper equipment and the leadership to grant what they need. But even that isn’t enough. They need a competent elected government that will grant the correct laws and the required budget to enact these changes. And that can only be done through fair elections by an educated electorate.
Without actually changing society at the fundamental level, this outrage of yours doesn’t solve anything. Because obviously not enough people in the right places care enough to get shit done.
None of that though changes that you’re downplaying the dangers of melee combat.
