There are no national statistics on it so we legit have no idea how many people are killed by cops.

i expected more "Sad!"s and "Very bad people!"s from a guy whose literal title is Supreme Leader

The American Electoral College is a worse system at picking a head of state, than letting a council of elders elect a new Supreme Leader whenever the Grand Ayatollah dies.

Incompetence could be a part of it, not giving a poo poo could be another. In the case of that Kenneth Roth tweet, the tweet itself claims nothing other than that people didn't have recourse to vote out Khamenei, and that there were protests against him. Both of those claims are true based on Iranian law and verified video of people out chanting death to Khamenei, death to dictator. So I would guess either he thought he had a verified photo of anti-government protests and hosed up, or he said to hell with it, nobody but pener fuckin dipshit on the internet is going to be pedantic about this completely irrelevant detail, and he just threw up whatever. One of the two.

In the case of Lina and her ilk, it's pretty clear what they (and you) are doing by focusing on the relatively few videos that were misattributed from weird places, and trying to downplay the size of the protests. They want to delegitimize any opposition to the Iranian theocracy because Iran is part of their little geopolitical circle. They don't give a gently caress about casual chemical weapons use, much less a few dozen dead protesters. Look somewhere else. That's as deliberate as it gets.

Hey man, what happens when you get your wish of the collapse of the Iranian theocracy and instead of US lackey you end up with nationalist Turbo-Mosaddegh and they pursue the exact same foreign policy?

Honestly, he should've mentioned the 217 J20 protesters we arrested and threatened with 60 years of prison.

Or our wonderful friend Hernandez in Honduras who had at least seven people killed protesting against his rigged election.
