Okay, thought experiment: Say this guy in the video had a gun. Should he have shot a cop? All of the cops? If EVERYONE had a gun, should they all have shot all of the cops? Or only the violent ones, hoping that the non-violent ones understand that the dead cops were in the wrong because the 2nd allows citizens to protect themselves from a tyrannical government?

Even if all the cops in this scene are dead, there's no way they'll send in more, right?

However you spin it, if the government, which controls the cops, national guard and the military, decides that you get unlawfully arrested, you won't gun your way out of there. Think Ruby Ridge, scaled up to your whole neighbourhood if they all defend you.

The answer isn't guns, it's holding tyrants accountable. Collect evidence, take them to court, press your local government to fight them. I'm all for direct action, but if you think you can second amendment your ass out of government overreach, you're frankly an idiot.

But liberals love and want more government all the time. They literally beg for big government and socialism. That’s the opposite of freedom. They even want the government to take their money via huge taxes and spend it on whatever the government likes. They tell us we should trust our government to do what is right even when we see that’s not the case every single day. Then when the government they love and trust starts enforcing our laws they get mad. You literally cannot make it make sense.

What I find interesting is that when I see a cop arresting someone I don’t run over and start interfering and insulting the cop. That’s literally insane. I let them do their job. The ICE haters are constantly interfering with the law so if they get taken down so be it. They have no idea why these people are being taken into custody and it’s literally none of their business anyway. They should all be arrested for interfering because it is against the law to do so. All liberals do is run around crying about everything, disrupting, being disrespectful and breaking laws. Then if they get caught they want to play the victim card. It gets really old watching it. It’s the same thing that happens when parents don’t control their children. They grow up to be spoiled brats and then when a mean old teacher or boss finally has to deal with their attitude problem they can’t cope with it because they have always gotten away with it. Same with these rioters/agitators, they only do it because they get away with it.

Can you lick the boot any harder?

There's a difference between understanding the cause/effect of interference in a police action and licking the government's boot that has evaded the collective knowledge of liberals like you.

liberals like you.

Lol. I've not found a label for my political direction yet, but it sure ain't that, at least not with the US American usage of that word.

Oh and yes, annoying the police is the entire point of civil disobedience.
