I don’t disagree with a lot of what is said here. As I said we need to avoid dependency but I am open to trying some measures accompanied by some help of some sort.

Tucker Carlson is of the branch of conservative populism that shares a fair bit critiques of the left on capitalism blaming it for the destruction of family and such. Not a broken clock so much as that 20% or so of his ideology
sometimes shines through that is actually somewhat agreeable to the left. (and
perhaps sometimes the left’s economic appeals are a bit agreeable to the right) Problem is, he is also more culturally right and runs a incendiary cable news show, so it isn’t enough for you guys to consider him a ally in my mind but that is why he does sometimes get left wing guest or some leftist have some sympathy for him at
times.

Stuff like this is idiotic

Cops being right once in saving one person from assault still does not justify only seven in every 15.000 cases of police-induced murder since 2005 resulting in convictions.
Could I have a source on that statics if possible? I could believe it, our civil immunity laws are dreadful in some places but I have seen it before conflated any officer involved shooting being counted as a murder.
In that context, taking all state, societal, and human levels into account, BLM and anti-carceral activism remain strong and wholly defensible.
I can agree to not let one good officer distract from the bad but I strongly disagree with that principle. It only leads to hatred being stoked unnecessarily for a narrative and shutting down the ability to evaluate other factors.. Considering
how the conversation has been handled by them
@BadgingBadger
Indeed. Especially social media. I sometimes have interesting discussions on forums and smaller chan boards but your advice here is still correct.

I’m still trying to piece it all together myself. From my understanding the girl with the knife called the cops, according to her mother. Some are framing it that she was trying to defend herself from attack. I’ve also heard she had stabbed someone else, etc.
Maybe one of’em is true but it’s hard to tell even avoiding social media sometimes these days.
