Cops are mostly good? How would you feel if commercial airline pilots were "mostly good"? Just a few bad ones at every airport?

Can you find me a profession comprising millions of people who don't have bad apples?

Ok so quick sidebar; why the fuck do all the crazy people itt keep talking about christ? Like, is it a meme or something? What the fuck even is this?

Jesus Christ the historical figure has literally nothing to do with any of this at all. What the hell?

Our decline in values as a society has a lot to do with the moment we’re living in right now. If you can’t see that, you should probably seek Christ

If you can't discern the difference between self defense and murder, with all the information freely available to you on these internet forums, please fuck off. Murder is a specific word with a specific definition. Self defense is a specific term with a specific definition. All you have to do is like read and stuff.

I don’t think we’ll ever know entirely what was happening there. The thing is, IN MY OPINION, so again, this is just my opinion, but when you put yourself in position for confrontation when you have no authority to do so, and then the outcome becomes violent, you’re responsible to some degree. That’s why I have compared Kyle Rittenhouse to George Zimmerman. When you provoke people, occasionally they will fight back. If you then have to use your gun to end their life, you still bear responsibility.

It’s a separate issue where a business or home owner from Kenosha can bear arms in defense of their life and property. A 17 year old looking for action, isn’t it obvious this was some type of thrill seeking thing for him (?), has zero rights in this situation

To reiterate, I do not believe we will ever know all the facts in this case, as both sides will obfuscate as much as possible to make this less clear, but I’m firmly against vigilantism as it will, no matter how BLM progresses, lead to more violence. Also, for the billionth time, I do not support BLM or rioters. That really has little and less to do with who, in a society governed by laws and norms, has the right to police the streets

Yeah, but bad pilots don't continue to fly planes. They aren't protected by other pilots. They don't get to abuse their power and evade any sort of legal punishment.

The ball thing they show on every movie intro since space was popularized in media? A few hundred years at most

Nah, the firmament bowl thing you believe we’re living on

Yeah I don't think we really disagree, I just get pissed when people call him a "murderer" and bend over backwards to make excuses for the people he shot. Just like when people get pissed at cops. I mean, if a cop had done the exact same thing he did, nobody would be mincing words over how they weren't authorized to. They'd find some *other* reason to completely shit on the cop! It's like a 6th grade understanding of the world. Fuck you dad! I'm fighting for racial justice! What does that mean exactly? Pfff I dunno.

Again not saying you're doing these things, just venting some more here on everquest forums.

Most cops do not do anything bad at all ever. You're only informed of the rare instances that they do. Perception is everything. If there were a 24\7 feed of every single interaction between cops and civilians, 99.9% of them would be totally fine. That's not exactly exciting though. This is what is so incoherent about the navel gazing with regard to cops. *TONS* of people get murdered every day, nobody gives a flying shit about almost any of them. The notion that america is racist, or "white supremacist", when the overwhelming majority of people only care when the victim *is black*, sort of utterly discredits that idea.

I personally live by Ezekiel 23:19-20

I prefer Ezekiel 16, as it provides a much more Calvinist perspective on the true nature of "chosen-ness"
