In the US I bet any farmer who sprays police with milk would be instantly shot

Two years ago, we had protesters literally set police precinct on fire, and not only nobody got shot, but in fact nobody faced any consequences.

  They didn't just set it on fire, they literally burned it to the ground. I watched live streams of the police abandoning the precinct building. Elsewhere, people were firing fireworks mortars into occupied federal buildings, with little to no recourse. "Good" protesters were overshadowed in media coverage of "bad" protesters, but I also saw a grocery store get completely ransacked for no reason other than people decided they could. There was so much damage that the store was closed for months to renovate, turning a poor neighborhood into a food desert.

    Those "bad" protesters were from the "pro police" side: https://www.police1.com/george-floyd-protest/articles/man-sentenced-to-4-years-for-minneapolis-police-station-fire-nKd5RboPPFKRy53f/ https://www.police1.com/george-floyd-protest/articles/man-se...

      According to the article, only one of the five people charged was a member of the boogaloo boys, and he was charged for firing a weapon; he wasn't involved in any of the arson charges. Also note the entire crowd chanting "burn it down".

  This is a lie. They were convicted and sentenced to prison: https://www.police1.com/george-floyd-protest/articles/man-sentenced-to-4-years-for-minneapolis-police-station-fire-nKd5RboPPFKRy53f/ https://www.police1.com/george-floyd-protest/articles/man-se... Also worth noting that the people who started the fire were there because they thought people protesting police violence was bad - they weren't dangerous liberals or antifa or whatever other nonsense you'll spew: they were far-right "bugaloo boys"

  Just remember they were 'fiery but mostly peaceful' protests according to the mainstream media.

Considering the inability of US police to successfully shoot farmers who spray police with bullets I think your bet might fail.

  But consider this: what if the farmers have a darker skin color
