Again with the twisting of words. I'm not threatening anyone or advocating for violence, I'm saying I choose the people over the police.



“I'd prefer vigilante justice over that.”

“I will always choose the people over the police, even if the people are violent. A public mob is better than a police mob.”

“Until the police are held accountable to the public, I feel no remorse for anything that happens to them.”

“the public needs to do it by whatever means necessary even if that harms innocent police officers

Seems pretty clear what you are advocating. You don’t have to say things like this if they aren’t what you mean.


Yep - I stand by all that because I choose the public over the police. I don't care what happens to the police doesn't mean I want anything bad to happen, it means I don't care. If I say I don't care about you it doesn't mean I wish you harm it means I'm indifferent.

I choose to help the people, not the police.


Those are not statements of indifference. They are statements that advocate violence. Let’s consider an example:

“the public needs to do it by whatever means necessary even if that harms innocent police officers

Advocating methods that knowingly include harming the innocent is advocating violence.

You are clearly advocating violence.

Why not just admit it?


I'm not advocating violence. You're seeing what you want to see.


I note that you haven’t addressed the evidence I presented, but have instead resorted to gaslighting.


Sure I did! Just read my previous comments. No need for us to be repetitive here :)


You didn’t address this:

I think it’s reasonable to assume you won’t, because if you could have without resorting to denial and gaslighting, you would have done.


Like I said, I'm indifferent towards the police. I don't care what happens to them. That doesn't mean I want bad things to happen to them.

As I said before and you never addressed: if I say I don't care about you, does that mean I'm advocating violence against you?
