Protestors should warn the police that violence will not be tolerated!

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 99 points 2 days ago

My brother in Christ, you are the violence that will not be tolerated.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"If we see any violence we will kick the living shit out of you!".

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

"And if we don't see any violence we will kick the shit out of you!"

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 56 points 2 days ago

You know what? Violence brought on by police won't be tolerated by us.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 86 points 2 days ago

Then they should go home

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does this mean that the police will not be using violence? :)

No, just that it will be their excuse to escalate.

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 36 points 1 day ago

Great, then the cops should stay home

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Don't start none

won't be none

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 48 points 2 days ago

Ok then you shouldn't commit any?

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I hear open carry is a good way to make cops respect you.

Mostly /s

They say that but only apply it to the protestors, not the bastards in uniform and riot gear that shoot and beat people unprovoked. It's always tolerated if the violence is being handed out by the state.

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

The greatest rule of violence is its only violence if it flows up hill. 9/11 violence, the starving of civilians through embargo's? Magically not violence

[–] ghostlychonk@lemm.ee 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if they have instigators embedded.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Palantir has likely put together entire ops plans, including instigators, making sure the “right” journalists capture that protestor violence, and immediately spreading it over right wing media to ensure they get more and more fired up and ready to shoot their neighbors once Trump builds his “freedom militia” or whatever

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Of course they do, they learned after the BLM protests

Ah so does that mean the fascist pigs will fuck off?

[–] ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 10 points 1 day ago

Good. So the cops should be on their best behavior.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago

Unless they instigate it, of course

[–] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Thank goodness we won't have to worry about police brutality at this one!

[–] meangreenbeans@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Oh good. I was worried the police were going to use force 😮‍💨

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago

Remember there are more people then police

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

There are more of you than them. And thankfully you can easily arm and defend yourself.

[–] miguel@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

CBS news has gone full scale right, haven't they? I've seen so much BS from them lately.

If I have to run from the cops, I hope it's one of these specimens that is chasing me. I'm pretty sure I can run faster and farther before these guys have to stop and throw up.
