A pointless protest?

Personally, I don't think you should spit in anyone's food. Probably not even if the person is a cop. Some Florida teens disagreed (I hate linking to that site because it's a disease).

I'm in favor of fighting back when the other person is currently archating or making a credible threat to do so. There is an argument to be made that even wearing a police uniform is a credible threat, as well as evidence of a history of archating, plus an ongoing willingness to continue doing so.

If a cop doesn't understand why someone might be tempted to do something spiteful toward them, they don't understand what policing has become. They don't realize what they've come to represent to a large minority (at least) of the population. Their lack of accountability and their brutality keep getting worse. And their cluelessness about how this makes them look to others certainly doesn't help anything. Act like a gang and people are going to treat you like a gang. Like it or not. You're going to be seen as a legitimate target, no matter how draconian the consequences.

But, what good does spitting in their food do? Whether it is a cop or an MS-13 member. Does it defeat them on some level? It's like giving those vermin the digitus impudicus. Might make you feel good for a moment but it accomplishes nothing and gives them an excuse to molest you.

If they are currently violating you, you have the right to defend yourself. Then, in the case of cops, they or their gang will murder you for doing so, but you've accomplished more than by pointlessly spitting in their food.

But, do what you want. I can't get too worked up either way.

    There is no such thing as murdering a police officer. Any force used against a pig is always defense.

    A pig wears a uniform that identifies and represents the job and not the person. The job is to hunt people and make them obey a big list of rules or be extorted abducted assaulted or murdered. If they're in your neighborhood in uniform, it's an open declaration of a threat against everyone in the community.

    You have a right to defense against that. Because pigs choose violent forceful terms, deadly force is an appropriate response. But it's not murder as the state would claim, of course.

    Pigs are no different than any other occupying military force bossing everyone around. Why not kill them?

    1. Partly because their gang WILL get you, and the "media" will convince everyone you were the dangerous nutcase. If you feel there's nothing left for you to contribute by being alive, then I guess that's not a problem.

    2. I was being rhetorical. Of course they need to be killed. But I think a better question is how to do so yielding the most casualties. What is the most efficient means of killing pigs?

    I agree. What a waste of a perfect opportunity to feed the pigs cyanide-burgers.
