quote:

Biden, cognizant of the missteps that plagued the administration of former President Barack Obama from his former perch as the vice president, has been unrelenting in his view that now is the time for bold change in America.

Republicans have attacked that worldview, arguing that unified Democratic control of government has resulted in too much liberalism, with Biden's governance being painted as a liability.

However, nearly 100 days into Biden's first term, most voters seem to hold the opposite view and the GOP has been almost powerless to stop him.

lots of people giving up the game today by insisting that real justice is completely unrelated to the people in power who have spent their entire careers making things the way they are now and preventing any attempt to do something about it

It's interesting no one is talking about those supposed state charges against Trump anymore. And the Justice Department doesn't seem like it's going to do anything, either.

donald trump is already serving a life sentence in guantanamo bay

the deep state has a clone wander the halls of mar-a-lago to prevent a terrifying repeat of the january 6th attacks

we got him

edit: this is why biden won't be able to close guantanamo

is being a police abolitionist against the rules now too

or just thinking that there are other ways to deal with a violent situation besides unloading your service revolver into a teenager

Anyone who wants to blame the cop for shooting Ma'Khia here should honestly ask themselves what they expect him to do, in the 7 seconds that he had, to make sure the situation doesn't end in a shooting or a stabbing.

get into a fatal car accident with his fellow officers on the way there

lmao it didn't even take 24 hours after the chauvin verdict for liberals to go back to "actually it's OK for cops to murder people"

they're all so gleeful about feeling like they can get away with calling this one a good shoot

Watching the vid i can see how this plays out, I think some are putting a god level request on the cop. They showed up and had seconds to try and evaluate the situation before berserker blows past the cop to attack pink. I still think 4 bullets is excessive, but i can see why the cops really couldn't do much prior to that moment.

it really was like fate/zero

No, you really couldn't say the same thing, at least not based on posts in this thread. "The other side" is reasoning prima facie from the video of this particular incident, that the cop saved the victim in pink from deadly attack. No application of a general principle that all cop shootings are good, is necessary to reach this position. And it's perfectly consistent with, for example, most cop shootings being bad with this one being an exception.

OTOH, the ACAB camp is twisting itself into bizarre pretzels to disallow any exception to the general ACAB principle, like that the cop failed to come in with immediate dominating authority which opened the door to later events . Or that the attacker tripped and fell knife-first into the victim's neck, which would be comical if it weren't for the real life tragedy it purports to describe.

wonder what this person thinks ACAB stands for

what did happen in fate/zero? also, what is the reference?

the specific thing being referenced in the d&d post that this title came from is just an extremely dumb version of the trolley problem

So if China took Alaska, or Hawaii, should the US ignore it to avoid the end of industrial civilization?

The logical end point of such utilitarianism is absurdity, look at what happened in Fate/Zero; if you keep letting people on the boat with less people die; eventually you'll have no people left. If you keep letting China invade and take places because the alternative is "the end of industrial civilization" where does it end?
