The second link wasn't done with officers in Seattle, it was done with officers in Spokane. Washington gets a lot more rural once you leave the Seattle area, so I think it's a lot more representative than you give it credit for.

There have been quite a lot of protests over the last few years that have gone violent. G20, The Berkeley Milo Speech, The Free Speech Demonstrations in Berkeley, Ferguson, etc. I don't know what you call "small scale" but

One possible explanation is that's what the accepted narrative is based on media coverage. Also you have to get a bit specific when you consider what kind of killings are rare. US Police shoot and kill quite a few people to be sure.

If China and the USSR didn't have a vested interest in the outcome of the Vietnam War? Perhaps. If it didn't cause the NVA to completely dissipate into full on guerrilla warfare? Sure.

People not being able to talk to one another is definitely a big part of it. Another thing to think about is how much the mediums of communication have changed since the PC era began. I don't think people appreciate just how much comm

I'd be for proof of empathy if it would somehow help reduce the number of straw men I see being constructed on a daily basis. I wouldn't hold my breath for proof of rationality. Humans are rationalizing animals, not rational anim

One way to think about rhetoric like this is that it serves as a method of forcing you to align with their view of reality. Either you agree with them, or they paint you into a corner that then frequently creates a hostile response. In ot
