I’m just curious, does it ever get tiring? I imagine doing anything 24/7 must be, but licking that many boots just sounds exhausting.
Do you realize there’s a reason you’re being consistently downvoted? Do you care to understand why your opinions are so frowned upon? Or do you simply conclude, in your tiny obedient mind, that the “radicals” dislike the police because we’re all thugs?
This is a trend decades (if not centuries or millennia) in the making, of people in power abusing said power and lying about it. You defending them is a pathetic waste of your time.
Honestly, the downvotes don’t bother me as much as the gossip and unchecked hysteria in some Lemmy communities. This is a controversial topic and this is a discussion.
But some take differing viewpoints as a personal attack and double down.
I have my own biases, I recognize that, but I try to stick with facts like I have in this thread. But I’ve been on both sides of a police-focused argument before and also massively attacked for assuming police were out to get a company. I backed it up with facts too but that issue was hard to defend.
I may not agree with people here, and you may not agree with me, but votes don’t make you right. You’re free to present evidence the police in this article acted outside their authority anytime; all I hear are soapbox radicals with an axe to grind.
You love classifying differing opinions as those from “radicals”. I hope to God you don’t have any power over others in your life, because your mindset is dangerous.
Radicalization (or radicalisation) is the process by which an individual or a group comes to adopt increasingly radical views in opposition to a political, social, or religious status quo.
So the “all police are lying murderers until they convince me they’re not, but I won’t let that happen” crowd sort of fit. Then there are the wannabees that try to fit in and fan the flames.
For all you know, we are both AI bots out to steer the course of dialogue and incite our respective groups.
Spooky fingers oooOOOOooooo
If there is anything to take away, talking to all of you in this thread now, is that I love debates and discord among strangers and while we don’t see eye to eye, I’d have a beer with you folks and at the end of the day, wish you all well.
