What cops? All I see are plainclothes goons with no legitimate authority, against whom violent self-defense is eminently justified.

violent self defense? how? they're not even armed

A fist to the nose does wonders.

against a police stick?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes

maybe to get the first one, but they usually come in sets of 2/3/4

Protester usually come in groups much larger than that.

True. Let's then agree that A fist to the nose does wonders in the right circumstances.

I never claimed anything different.

they’re not even armed

I think that you would find that if a person attacked a police officer with a baton, the police officer would be found to be justified in using deadly force.

so no self defence after all?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Never has been against police. If they break down your door in the middle of the night because they're at the wrong place you can't defend yourself.
