This is in response to that cop pointing a gun at Aaron Bushnell and yelling at him to get on the ground as he self immolates. Its insane, americans are insane fascists
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Gregory's second comment is correct. When you panic, you default to your training. It's the whole reason you train in the first place. This dude short-circuited and ended up on the default "draw gun and yell get on the ground" loop.
Thats the least problematic comment in the thread, yeah, but thats still horrific. That American police are trained to default to pulling out their weapon is an insane fucking thing
Oh, sorry, I meant that it was the only correct comment. The rest are insane and not worth engaging with. That's my fault for poor wording.
