It's not violence if it's the state doing their duty to protect the public. It's just called force.

- xkcd1963 2y agoThe state has self interests in that manner and its subjects are a tool for self-preservation. We have a social contract with the state where the state exhibits socially accepted violence/force/power in exchange for order and security.
- komali2 2y agoConvicted murderer Derek Chauvin, did he kill through violence or through force?
- the_gorilla 2y agoThat was a show trial. Surely you have a better example?
- komali2 2y agoSo you believe the justice system didn't deliver justice and Chauvin received the wrong sentence? If that's the case, we clearly can't trust the justice system, so my question on how we determine whether the State is issuing violence or force is the same. By locking up Chauvin unjustly, has the State used force, or violence?
