    So you think if the mean privileged kids weren’t bullying the poor little cops they wouldn’t be brutalizing poor people when that’s literally the point of their existence? Pathetic, dishonest, have the life you deserve.

        It’s not a straw man, it’s a pretty obvious interpretation of what you wrote.

        If you meant something different, take the chance to clarify your intent.

        I must have really touched a nerve.

        Definitely did. If that was your goal, congratulations.

          And creating a strawman was your goal. No congratulations.

          And no, I wasn’t trying to rile anyone up, just offer up some honest facts.

            And if those angry cops go to a poor area for payback, why should the privileged kids stop?

            This is what you said. You’re just dishonest. There’s no way you actually believe the very people getting murdered by cops respect them. And here you imply the cops do it because they’re mad at the privileged kids. The people who are the worst victims of police brutality live under enough oppression to have to stay silent for their lives. To imply they “respect” cops is dishonesty, there’s no way you believe that, and you definitely meant the cruelty. I’m really thankful to the privileged kids who use their privilege to speak about it because I only speak about it when I’m anonymous, because I literally fear for my safety. And to answer your question, the privileged kids absolutely shouldn’t stop.

                I already said that, can’t you read? You’re defending violence against real people. It may be just a joke to you but for me it’s my childhood friends, literal children. I get that getting people mad is a sign of victory for people like you, but grow the fuck up, your dishonesty and malice are blatant. Yes, you got me mad by making monstrous remarks about a situation that affects real people, with real and often lethal consequences. If that’s fun to you, that’s your problem. But don’t think for one second I feel embarrassed for getting mad here, I would be embarrassed to be the type of person who doesn’t get mad at this.
