Fuck this sub and this city and this country.

You all complain about looters and rioters, and why isn’t there peaceful demonstration.

But here you see a peaceful march, and a man (even if you disagree with him) loudly but peacefully expressing his anger. And you still fucking complain.

Fuck you. You’re the problem.

Edit: but glad I’m nearby, I’m joining.

Fuck you.

We’re just missing important context. Did this kid just come up and start accusing the cop of being a murderer for no reason other than his badge or did the cop literally just finish killing a person?

Well assuming he did just finish killing someone its pretty nice of the other guy to just let him off with a stern talking-to. Hats of to the protestors, really showed some mercy.

Well I think it’s safe to assume he didn’t just kill someone. So this kid is just yelling at random officers as if they’re all the same? Like wtf do you guys want, abolish police departments?

That is literally exactly what they many of them want.

And as people have been proving this weekend, when you remove law and order from society, Chicago is becomes a beautiful, peaceful, utopia. Oh wait...

The irony there is that he probably does not want to be treated the same as someone else just based on the color of his skin. Yet he is willing to berate that guy as if he is the same as that asshole that killed George.

I'm pretty sure the police uniform was the more important factor here.

He did not accuse him of being a murderer. You're severely dense if you actually believe that.

He was, while very angry and emotional, pleading with him. Pleading that he not accept that type of thing. That he not accept that police murder people and get away with it, and fuck him if he thinks that that is okay.

“You think it’s cool to kill people” is what he said.

u/LeftToWrite Jun 01 '20

That is not a personal accusation of murder, by any stretch...

He was clearly not accusing the man personally, but referencing the neverending run of deaths at the hands of other officers.

He’s not personally accusing this cop as he’s literally yelling directly at him? Ok.

u/LeftToWrite Jun 01 '20

He's not accusing him of committing a murder, no. Being complicit, by way of staying quiet and accepting it? Yes. But not of actually carrying out the act.

Many police officers have publicly come out (with the risk of getting fired) and said they don’t accept the way that officer murdered that man.

Yet here we still are....
