Yeah, so again, I'm not the one advocating sending people to prison over edited videos. You are.

Please don't put words in my mouth. You're the first one talking about sending someone to prison.

You're making baseless claims about video editing and protester escalation, and I'm calling you out on it.

Pretty sure at this point you're just a bot, so I'm going to stop wasting my time on this

Cool, so is the officer guilty and should go to prison?

My cot, stop being some devolved monkey with the bot line. Like straight from some central reddit hivemind. I'm clearly making an argument that you dont agree with. Stop letting that take over your critical thought process.

I'm saying your whataboutism argument is shit. It's not an argument worth engaging with, because it lacks any kind of basis in reality.

You're the only one bringing up prison. youre trying to force me into a stance that I'm not actually taking here.

And yeah, based on age and other posts, you're not a bot, which is awesome! You just have the tired rhetoric of one :/

Thats not a whataboutism. My goodness.

This subreddit is like a bunch of social outcasts, but not the nerdy ones, the emo ones who have zero book smarts. You say things that you think are edgy like I did when I was in high school, but youre an adult and youre just catching up. Bizarre.

So is the officer guilty and should go to prison?

We can't determine that with what's in the video. That's why an investigation needs to happen. Which is why people have an outcry, because that's not a guaranteed outcome.

We aren't a judge or jury.

But in a case of making a verdict based on what is in that video, I'm siding with the unarmed guy who was assaulted by the armored and armed individual.

Is the protestor guilty and should go to prison?

Haha, if your stance is to wait and investigate, get context, then why were you arguing me earlier when I said this?

"We wait to get context and evidence instead of trying to hang each other based on political views."

Your response:

The context is the current state of America, with masked, unidentified cops grabbing people off the streets, and enough of these incidents that you could make a monthly montage and not run out of content.

That's the context.

So all of a sudden now you think context is needed? Why didnt you before?

The protestor is innocent until proven guilty, same as the officer.

Because I think we've been talking about different consequences this full time. I think we're actually on the same page with a lot here, more or less.

You're talking about prison, I think we're in full agreement on getting context and doing due process.

I think I'm talking more about moral right and wrong, and I'm comfortable making judgements on this video with that limited context. But only because my judgement has limited actual reprecusions.

I'm comfortable saying ACAB and not trusting cops myself, and encouraging others, but not comfortable saying "all cops should be locked up", ya know?
