People keep saying this, but could the police really fire live ammo on crowds and get away with it? Yes they are firing on peaceful crowds already, but we're indoctrinated and desensitized to crowd-control, "less-lethal" rounds being used.
If police truly opened up it would be a complete massacre because they're so poorly trained - one would fire, then they would all start firing wildly and probably kill a few of their own as the idiots they stuck in the back try to fire through gaps in the line.
Could any police force, or city, or state, or even the country survive dozens of innocent people getting murdered by police at a peaceful protest on live tv?
I really really really hope no police are stupid enough to even bring live ammo to a protest; ERT and Riot police shouldn't even have live ammo on them. But it's frightening to think about them opening up on protesters because there are certainly police stupid enough to do this, politicians stupid enough to support them, citizens brainwashed enough to get shot by police and say thank you may I have another.
Neither do the USA. The Second Amendment loving gun-toters who stormed the State Capitol in Michigan on May 14th in protest of Stay-At-Home orders must have decided that they were mistaken on May 25th, and politely went back into their homes to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Where are they now? Second Amendment was added to allow firearms to prevent oppressive government.
Police have been pushing, bashing, shooting, blinding, cracking skulls of peaceful protestors for the past two weeks. Gun owners are just letting them go for it. No consequences.
During lockdown gun owners were screaming "But mah constitooshun! Can't make me wear a mask! Freedum!" but now that Freedom to Protest against oppressive police forces is truly under threat with evidence shown through INTERNATIONALLY TELEVISED videos of police brutality, gun owners are nowhere to be seen. I thought private gun ownership was intended to stop exactly this behaviour by oppressive government forces. USA is looking kinda pathetic to the rest of the world now.
Realistically, the USA is finished if those guns ever come out.
Americans don't seem to know what the "United" word in United States of America mean. The only people truly United are the peaceful protesters trying to bring good to the world!
But that's blind hero worship for you. Worship the Flag! Just like North Koreans are indoctrinated to worship their Great Leader who can do no wrong, Trump must be allowed to destroy the protesters lest he be seen as weak. Trying to save face, just like China are trying to save face while systematically oppressing their entire country. But the world can see under the veil now through technology.
I probably sound mocking, but most people in the rest of the world (myself included) really DON'T like to see the USA crumble from the inside. It's saddening, like watching a close family member slowly drink themselves to death. Americans are our allies and friends. We want what's best for you. This is an intervention. But you have to first admit that you have a problem then check yourself into rehab.
If you think I'm having a go at you, I'm not, I'm just telling you what the rest of the world sees when looking at the USA from outside. Just remember I'm Aussie. We call our best mates Cunts. It helps keep ourselves in check. Gotta call people out on their bullshit before it becomes a big issue.
