ChairmanMeow posted:The US has absolute poo poo tons of militias who are armed to the teeth. They have also handled compound situations very poorly in the past. It makes sense to wait this out and try to not kill people and spark off a bunch of stuff. i agree that of course they shouldn't kill anyone if it's avoidable, but i do think it's a good idea to use this as a point of contrast just because some people who might not have really gotten it before are gonna see ferguson and this relatively close together, and compare the government reaction in their heads, and maybe realise that systemic racism is more of a thing than they previously had considered. i'm sure some people are saying "ugh just kill those guys!", and you're totally right about that attitude, but i think a lot of the people making the comparison are mostly pointing out the fact that they haven't killed them, and likely would if they were black or muslim, in an effort to make people think about racial injustice. |
