That's an incredibly extreme take. Giving someone solid, possibly life saving advice, shouldn't need to include your favourite political sentiment in order not to count as explicit support for a unjust system.
- birdyrooster 4y agoIt's implicit support at worst and not that strong of support at that. This is just calling balls and strikes, not trying to impugn anyone for being a police lover. It's probably not bad that we should want for police and those they serve to feel supported to achieve good outcomes, but that takes political action.
- klibertp 4y agoNot informing a European or Japanese of how this is a seriously unjust system you have in place - and not just a fucked up joke as it sounds (police? shooting at people? for not stopping the car?!? Haha, nice joke, man) - could definitely threaten their lives though.
