Sometimes it's justified, rarely, but there are many times a month someone is killed by police who was not in any way a danger to anyone. Look up wellness check murders. The idea what I said is "baseless propaganda," is in reality just you ignoring documented facts.

c o n t e x t. Do you know what causes most people to call the police for "wellness" checks? (a) Active suicide threat where the person is known AND REPORTED TO THE POLICE to have a weapon, (b) Psychiatric conditions that can (often do) result in violence (and see also weapons), (c) Drug overdose or addictions otherwise unspecified that also have a nasty tendency to result in violence (and variously taser immunity with enough meth). You can't just take a category of something, declare it wrong by default or fiat, and smugly assert universal truth. As a critic of the police I GO OUT OF MY WAY to investigate those so-called documented facts, I even listen to the police, and youtube channels by former or current police, because if you do not understand something you absolutely have no hope in hell of fixing it.

Seriously. You're ignorant as fuck on this, and that ignorance is outrageously typical. If you want to improve the world you first need to understand it. A cursory glancing understanding steeped in media lies and bias, and the media will outright make shit the fuck up about these cases, is nowhere near sufficient.

I've had several discussions with Magnora. I'm not insulting him nor am I an obnoxious conspiracy theorist nor white supremacist. In fact, I am entirely on his side, but it's precisely for the reason the police need reform that the facts ESPECIALLY matter. Otherwise the reforms undertaken will NOT have the intended beneficial effects. Sort of akin to how, under the glorious new socialist regime in Russia, crime evaporated. According to the propaganda. In reality it was terrifying. And we, if we ignore reality, will repeat those mistakes.

I think you're the one who misses a lot of dick here, for defending a XY who's the same shit like all the others, in a RADFEM sub. Are you even aware of how stupid you sound? Even women who aren't feminists know deep down, in their instincts, that men are all the same. And then you dumb down yourself to coddle and protect your almighty dad. He's just as gross as every other man, DEAL WITH IT. He has a penis, an Y chromosome and testosterone and was born in the same patriarchal shit all men are born. DEAL. WITH.IT.

I understand this is a high cope, but stop with the handmaiden dumbassery, you look like a fucking clown.
