In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.
The rules would be super simple:
-
Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]
-
Absolutely no calls for violent action.
-
No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.
Think there’s room for PolticalActivism?
I saw a reasonably rational law abiding officer making reasonably rational decisions for his own safety while performing the task he was sent out to do.
Lmao good you admit you’re a fascist! That’s progress! Now support that narrative with any shred of evidence.
Tell me! List your supporting evidence from that video! Tell me what exactly made her an urgent threat? What about her demeanor was triggering your fight-or-flight? Explain to me how holding a fucking phone while walking in front of a moving car is keeping anyone safe? Tell me how leaping at the opportunity to send followup shots into the window (well after the car was moving away) was a perfectly normal decision? Why was a rational agent going against all guides and regulations by killing this woman behind the wheel of a 2 ton SUV? That’s just extended self defense even if it gets a bystander killed?
Or does fear give you a free pass to do anything you want? “Oh oops he did literally everything wrong in this situation, audibly escalated the situation and got shot someone for no reason. But SeLf DeFeNsE means we can discard all that problematic context”
I’ve been closer to getting run over in a fucking crosswalk than that agent’s “brush with death” and somehow I managed not to murder anyone…
I’m not saying everything the officer did was flawless. What matters legally for self-defense is whether, in that split second, he reasonably perceived an imminent threat of serious harm or death.
“What matters is that if I close my eyes to what’s happening and deny reality they’ll keep shooting the other instead of me”
Best of luck with that pal. Be careful dropping your kids off at school btw, I hear there’s some heroes patrolling our streets who might view that as a lethal threat. They’ll be well within their rights to splatter your brain all over the back seat, but maybe if you grovel hard enough and tell them how you voted you’ll be able to calm them down. Maybe not, who knows, you’ll be too dead to argue
I get that this is emotional, but threats and insults don’t change the legal facts. What matters under law is whether, in that split second, a reasonable officer perceived an imminent threat of serious harm, not what we think in hindsight. Videos and analyses show the SUV moved while the agent was near it — whether or not it was intentional, courts focus on perceived danger, not perfect decisions.
Here’s a free tip bootlicker, practice pulling out your id niiiiice and slow
“Arguing I should ‘practice pulling out my ID slowly’ is about as relevant to the legal standard as telling someone to juggle while driving — completely absurd. What matters is whether the officer reasonably perceived an imminent threat in that split second, not your random hypothetical.
Random hypothetical lmfao. Are you legitimately a little slow? I’d feel a little bad laughing at you
What matters is you think any goon has the God given right to shoot someone because the government gave them a gun and they might have gotten scared (and if they’re not shooting you of course). On top of that you’re cheering for the gestapo literally walking around asking for papers. It doesn’t take rocket science to see how those mix.
So yes, practice pulling out your id very slowly while you lick their boots you fucking coward. Otherwise your infallible legal process will have to find a way to spoon gray matter back into your thick skull
Insults and wild hypotheticals don’t change the facts. The videos show the SUV moving forward as the officer fired — whether or not it was intentional, he had only split seconds to assess an imminent threat. Courts and federal use-of-force policy don’t expect perfect decisions, only reasonable ones under intense pressure. That’s the legal standard, not whatever caricature you’re trying to paint. Personal attacks don’t replace evidence or law. If you’re upset about what happened, the effective and responsible way to push for change is through peaceful protest and winning elections — not encouraging or celebrating violence against ICE, even if you strongly disagree with their actions.
