But you can be gunned down in the street by the police (because some guy in 1780 forgot to explicitly ban that).
It's a weird mix no? And the Liberal bits all date back to way before anyone now alive was born (with a few exceptions like gay marriage)
- yucky 4y agoEvery year there are around 1,000 people killed in police interactions. Every year around 25 of those cases were people who were unarmed and/or not actively trying to kill the police officer. Now, that is 25 too many for sure. But in a nation of 350 million people, 25 unarmed people killed by cops is sad but statistically a rounding error. Also, most of the time the cops in those cases are rightfully convicted and sent to prison so qualified immunity isn't relevant. That said, there are far too many other police abuses that need to be addressed which are a more significant issue because they affect far more people.
- unmole 4y ago> But you can be gunned down in the street by the police The statistical likelihood of that happening is approximately zero. Extrapolating from this to Fascism is plainly ridiculous.
