Being killed seems like a luxury compared to what might happen to you if one of these regimes want to arrest you.

- jlokier 6y agoWhat's the objective in pointing that out? That if you're an innocent, mis-identified person and get killed it's ok because you live in a regime where worse things could happen to you? That identification videos identify the correct person, or often enough that a few killed innocents is "worth it"? That it's ok to kill police in general in a bad regime? That it's ok to kill police who are beating up protestors? (These points combine: The statistical bias is such that if the wrong person is identified, it will tend to pick a police person who wasn't involved in the scene, rather than a non-police person who wasn't involved.) (Btw, I think it's up to each person to decide for themselves, if at all possible, if being killed is worse than an alternative. It's a very personal decision.)
