This isn't even true (we literally just had several parades/protests where a driver DROVE through the fucking crowd), you completely dodge my question, and then in bad faith tried to paint me like I'm some sort of crazy person who thinks intimidation is somehow a good idea.

I'm done with this conversation. I don't have to tolerate bad faith arguments when I've repeatedly shown I want to have civil discourse. Next time, don't respond if you can't act like an adult and treat someone who's trying to improve themselves and act like an adult.

OK, dude wringing his hands about what if someone brings in a dirty bomb while cops bash in heads. ๐Ÿ™„ The grandstanding like I didnโ€™t bring up violent freaks running over and shooting protestors first is a cute touch, too.

If you want to be treated as a serious person to have a serious conversation with then be fucking serious.

I've repeatedly said that cops using snipers/spotters is not a good solution, and that cops are part of the problem, but okay believe whatever lies you wanna tell yourself I suppose. Thats your prerogative
