Well, duh. I should have said* justifiable.* Are rebellions to secure human rights and freedom justifiable?
Only if they win. If the rebels win, then they are now the government, and they can define the law however they want. If they lose, then they’ll be punished by the laws of the government they failed to defeat.
You could probably make an argument that it still isn’t, given the fact that criminals who’ve served their sentences aren’t allowed to vote in many places. Still doesn’t mean I think that rebellion would be a sensible response to that.
Nice to see you don’t recognise the constitutional, legal, or moral rights of people who have chosen to put themselves at risk to protect you. Whatever you think the problem is, kangaroo courts and show trials are not the answer.
I love how the S&S twins think that if the rules for cops are tightened such that killing black people is clearly frowned upon, nobody will want to be cops and we’ll descend into anarchy.
Personally, if we make candidates who look at killing people as a job perk reconsider applying, that will be a dramatic improvement.
I love how people like you think that ignoring the laws that protect people and treating a specific group of people badly, ignoring their legal, constitutional, and moral rights is a solution to anything.
It’s almost like you want to treat the police as an inferior group, something I thought you were against. The hypocrisy is amusing.
That you think policemen actually enjoy killing, or want to kill, just shows your idiocy even further. As I’m sure you’re aware, the vast majority of cops never use their weapons except in training, let alone kill people, and those that do are thoroughly investigated and potentially have their lives ruined, even if the killing turned out to be justified. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your ranting.
Wait, I thought you said it’s ok to shoot young black males cause they’re scary?
No, no. It’s not cause they’re black. They must be shot because of black culture. It’s very different and not at all racist.
I love how people like you think cops are justified in killing anyone who puts their hand in their pocket.
Except the majority of police who are being very careful not to kill people.
Wait, what? … The police are volunteers in the US??
…Did you think they were conscripts?
I love how you can neither read nor reason.
No, I thought they got paid.
It must be frustrating for you that so few people understand gibberish.
The two dumb cunts in this thread seem like they would be happy being an Auschwitz tattooist. Because it’s the law, yeah? Been told what to do by a big man in a uniform?
This statement isn’t even internally consistent.
Perhaps you meant to assert that rebellion is amoral? Otherwise, why should I accept anything you say on this subject, since your dependent clause denies you of the very basis for even making such an authoritative assertion? :dubious:
This showed up at VICE today:[
](NYPD Cop Investigated for Allegedly Beating a Brooklyn Woman That He Called a 'Dyke')
The whole thing reminds me of last year when that kid who was smoking a cigarette in NYC got beat unconscious by an off-duty cop. Did anything ever happen to that cop? Prolly not, and prolly nothing will happen to this cop, but that don’t make it right.
Mississippi, show 'em how it’s done.
unarmed black man choked to death for mouthing off to a cop from a horse and buggy
Stay classy, Mississippi.
How is it not? The statement “rebellion is immoral” implies the existence of objective morality; since there is no such thing, the statement cannot be true.
I love how people like you think you have to wait until after you’ve been shot in the face in order to defend yourself.
