The funny part is, CPS' general attitude is "oh my god can you please stop obviously abusing your kids so we don't have to gently caress around trying to find a place for them to live?"

And I can just imagine the judge, even more thrilled as usual when the deadbeat parents start complaining about this actually being an admiralty court when he is just trying to find out if they have plumbing in their house yet.

Please everyone, remember we aren't supposed to call the very nice men with guns names. They're special creatures who may do more crimes if they feel put upon and therefore have discovered the prime paradox upon which justice is based. We feel its better for everyone involved if we just leave them alone while they do cross country tours explaining how to franchise this operation to various Alex Jones subscribers.

Correct, they should simply be arrested. If they resist with lethal force, that's worth being killed for.

Isn't this stuff just what Alex Jones talks about, like, every day?

I was around a radio playing Alex Jones and he said he talked to a billionaire who is leaving the country because it's going to collapse in "3-5 years" and told Jones that he would become very popular.

Pretty sure Alex Jones becoming very popular right before the country collapses would not be a coincidence.

None of them are worth being executed over, but they should be arrested, a point on which we all agree. But if they resist arrest by pointing their guns at the cops? That is a crime people die over all the time and most people seem to agree that this is A-OK. Pulling your gun on an officer that is trying to arrest you is usually seen as something completely worthy of being shot for, unless all of the police defenders want to suddenly flip flop now that the potential targets are white conservatives.

Guess we'd better not arrest anyone ever for fear they have a weapon the police don't know about and could start violence that could get the person being arrested killed.

'Not everyone has guns' Okay we just don't arrest people with guns, and then people will keep guns around them all the time because it actually does make them effectively above the law.

'Or we wait until they don't have the gun' They won't just put it away to do [anything] because see above.

Their favorite target is always something like fruit fly studies or other biological studies where at some point they have to figure out how to get animals to do things they want so that they can then study important things like cancer progression or birth defects.

Actually, i'm critical of any time an officer goes into a situation that will obviously cause shooting if nobody is currently endangered. In fact, in many cases (such as the Michael Brown shooting), I would like the officer to get in trouble for not de-escalating! Not shooting people should be the first consideration for police, followed by arrest

Why not? I mean we've got people who call it murder when the police are attacked attempting to stop a crime because it was their duty to deescalate the situation now calling for a blood bath because the potential targets are white conservatives.

A pillar of nonviolence is not escalating or resorting to violence when provoked. They used to have to train people to sit there and take it during the civil rights movement.

In the case of furgeson, I think that violence was an appropriate response.

Part of the modern psyop is exclusively equating "nonviolence" with the good. That neuters us, because things we agree with and are good are nonviolent. And anything with a whiff of violence, even if we agree with it is bad.

It's time for revolution.

Well you're in luck! The obvious and pretty normal course of action here would be to ask that they drop their weapons and turn themselves in within an given time frame. If they refuse, then it is not the police that are escalating anything, but rather, the armed criminals who are choosing violence. Anything that happens after that is their fault.

The issue with a lot of the police shootings that you and orc seem to be referring to is that many police officers do not give people enough time to respond, or, if they do, they respond to unarmed individuals with mag dumps. That is very different than a group of criminals threatening to shoot any cops that attempt to stop them. But I am sure you know that though, but are purposefully neglecting that bit.

Yeah, I don't understand this. All joking aside I'm genuinely unhappy about anyone involved getting killed. I don't actually like the idea of people dying on either side. But there is a massive difference between law enforcement killing someone unarmed and in many cases unresisting and law enforcement killing someone actively shooting at them. I don't want an active shootout but you know what? There's a line and it was crossed a while back with these assholes. They are actively endangering people, children included (even before this apparent kidnapping), and it is the explicit job of law enforcement to protect and serve. That means protecting the criminals they're arresting if they can, but it also means protecting the non-criminals being threatened by criminal actions, and right now they aren't doing that, and this is making people angry. In the meantime, these guys are doing whatever the hell they want without anyone interfering and it's only getting more dangerous.

Same here. Republicans want to look good to crazy people, so the slash any research they can so they can claim that they saved a few bucks. Guys like Cruz doing it piss me off than these guys because he's got to be at least smart enough to know that it's complete crap. These idiots are too crazy and/or stupid to understand the idea at all. If they can't fathom that their imaginary laws don't allow them to say a magic word and get millions of dollars, there's no way they'll comprehend that biological studies in a wildlife preserve may serve a purpose.
