Do NOT throw bricks at cops. Cops will literally put piles of bricks near protests to tempt stupid people to give them a reason to shoot them in the face.

Calm down Karen, it is a meme
We have to be smart. Throwing bricks is stupid.
Man this is lemmy whiplash. One thread judging Americans for not starting a rebellion and the next saying we shouldn't throw bricks at cops.
What do you people think rebellion is?
Exactly
I feel like in America you should be able to do better than a brick. Cars and guns everywhere.
Throw a car full of guns.

Have they really? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pallets-of-bricks-protest-sites/
Interesting, thank you!
Most of the claims against that are tweets by police. And the police have never been caught lying, right?
"Mostly false" should be turned into "insufficient evidence" because there doesn't seem to be convincing evidence on both arguments.
Which is more likely?
(a) The police ordered seven tons of bricks to be delivered to a location where a protest might occur sometime in the near future, in the hopes that they would be thrown at them by protestors, so that they could arrest them.
(b) Construction site brick piles are a common occurrence in urban areas.
Another valid use is using them to cross at a crosswalk. Much more effective than those stupid orange flags.
Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Inciting violence. Explicitly saying to mutilate another human being by throwing an actual brick at them
*Clutches pearls*
They must've misunderstood something, people in this community would never advocate violence against police, who are definitely fellow human beings worthy of praise.
Exactly cause cops are certainl not one of the main things that protects the rich, the politicians and the people who bought them no.
ay dios mio
Gotta use a brick because Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun.
Inciting violence. Explicitly saying to mutilate another human being by sniping them out of their Merkava with an actual Ghoul rifle

I See no difference
Okay, and I have to shit one out?
Jokes aside, guys I know they were human beings, but so are iof soldiers, cops aren't that bad but I think throwing bricks AS SELF DEFENSE is a little justified since Cops generally have five power to just hit and massacre people. Here in Italy they hit someone so hard he died of internal injuries. Cops aren't innocent.
lmao fr, obviously they delete the post :/
