When you expand the use of a word so widely, it ceases to have meaning. You could say a traffic stop is violence. Court-ordered searches and seizures could be violence.
- Miner49er 7y agoI'm not expanding the definition of the word. Tying up a person's hands, dragging them into a car, and locking them in a cage is most definitely under the definition of what most would call violence. The only reason most people don't resist is the threat of more violence if they do. Is kidnapping someone at gunpoint not violence?
- _edo 7y agoYou've had to change the definitions of several words in order to keep your narrative going. You refuse to admit the difference between a peaceful and by-force arrest because you're expanding the definition of the word violence and apparently would like to talk about it. You've expanded the definition of the word 'murder' to no longer require intent. You've expanded the meaning of "choked to death" beyond what any reasonable person would expect it to mean. If the police had gone out there and violently murdered somebody by choking them to death I would be very angry. That's simply not what happened and if you believe it is maybe you should examine exactly how you came to that conclusion.
