The police kills more people in the USA then all terrorists combined (about 1000/year).
- JustSomeNobody 7y agoMore people die from choking on food every year in the USA than die from terrorism AND police.
- educationdata 7y agoThis is a silly comparison. Terrorist can kill 30 people in one attack or even break down a whole building with a bomb. When did 30 people choke by one piece of food? And we don't have another 911 may because of mass surveillance. Shall we try removing the surveillance to see whether terrorist attack increases?
- JustSomeNobody 7y agoSo it's worth it to you to spend 100's of billions to stop 30 hypothetical deaths? Ok. You're allowed to have that opinion. I'll vote against it every chance I get.
- educationdata 7y ago30 hypothetical death is for 1 terrorist attack. Why would terrorists only attack once?
- JustSomeNobody 7y agoI don't know. They don't seem to be attacking any place even once. And yet all this money is spent...
- AlexandrB 7y agoWe don't have another 911 because it was a tactic that could work exactly once. No pilot/crew/passengers would stand idly by and hope things work out in another plane hijacking because they expect they're dead either way.
- educationdata 7y agoWhen I say another 911 I didn't mean another exact repetition, I meant another terrorist attack on large scale.
- XaoDaoCaoCao 7y agoMaybe spending untold billions of dollars on a mass surveillance state that cows the population into authoritarian submission is a phyrric response to the threat of terrorism. Terrorism which is exacerbated by our own shadowy geopolitical agendas... And it's ludicrous to say "We shall have a mass surveillance system or mass terrorism!", as if security theater revealed the actual effectiveness of such actions! Do you love giving Leviathan the sword it stabs you with, the whip that scourages you, and the mouth which mocks your humanity?
- educationdata 7y ago"cows the population into authoritarian submission" ? I don't see this happening at all. There have been countless protests against the Trump administration, and the main stream media has being criticizing the Trump administration every single day. Please give me an example supports your projection.
- tehjoker 7y agoYet somehow we have concentration camps for women and children with people dying in them. Funny how that works.
- OrgNet 7y agosince when is someone dying because of what they did as bad as someone else killing them?
- khuey 7y agoMost people who die of choking are elderly and close to death anyways.
- ASalazarMX 7y agoStop giving ideas to the American war barons! One of these mornings we'll awake to "Operation Freedom Choke: Liberty in your throat".
- OrgNet 7y agoOperation "PATRIOT" Act... choke or you're dead.
- OrgNet 7y agobut most of those are older then 74yo and it is not really someone else that is killing you on purpose... like the other 2 cases
- JustSomeNobody 7y agoWhat if terrorists blow up a retirement community? Are we just not supposed to care ‘cause they old?
- eeZah7Ux 7y agoEven more people die from heart attack due to unhealthy diets but that does not justify any police killing.
