I think that both the group concerned with a loss of civil rights via potentially unconstitutional governor executive orders and the group concerned with a lack of civil rights via police brutality both think that are are some things so important that they are worth the risk of the virus.

Unfortunately, neither “side” seems to recognize how much they have in common with the other, so both are pretty disrespectful of the other.

And only one side is shooting people in the face with rubber bullets. I’m pretty concerned that our government is using deadly force against protestors and violently attacking curfew breakers.

I see faults and virtue everywhere. I prefer to look for common ground, so that we can try to unite as a people with respect and mutual understanding.

I am very concerned about governments using lethal force against their citizenry. I think we need to watch very carefully for the difference between keeping the peace and authoritarian governmental overstep.

What behavior do you think warrants you being executed by your government?

I will rephrase. What behavior warrants your government employees using lethal force against you?
