Now do the inverse analysis. Hold liable anyone in an official position who directly incited virtually an entire election-year of violent riots that mostly targeted and victimized innocents. There's precedent in the making for that type of liability.
- epakai 3y agoI can't believe the level of whataboutism in quick replies to this post. Have you considered maybe if policing authorities had been held to account in the first place, then these protests wouldn't have existed at all? You don't even have to think that far back to see it in action. The Ferguson protests happened in 2014. The executive had a measured response that addressed the issue, not even fixed, just addressed. When public peaceful protests happened between then and now those groups were told to fuck off by the president and vice president. "Get that son of a bitch off the field". There's your catalyst, not groups of people who were so motivated by bad policing they went out on the streets to protest. The executive in power that was made aware of an issue, and said we not only reject it, but we will antagonize you for bringing it up. These people were subject to violent policing that they were protesting. The irony is palpable, but we see it get excused as just political hacks egging them on, or it was justified because of adjacent activities.
- klyrs 3y agoI'm not sure you took the time to understand the technology that the article is about. Because it's geared at collecting event sequencing from terabytes of evidence. If you were interested in turning that technology on protesters, it is open source. But whatever you're saying about politicians here is a total non sequitur.
