Has he tried licking the boot yet?

Heard it tastes like pig.

waking up to this thread:

Counterargument: in a nation with over 300 million guns, this situation won't continue indefinitely, in spite of what cops think.

Lookup the history of gun control in the US. Now look at how cops react to white people with guns vs black people with guns. The cops would happily use the presence of guns as an excuse to commit massacres.

Cops are also outnumbered by armed civilians by about 100,000 to 1.

that doesn't matter when they roll the national guard and start dropping bombs (which, btw, has happened before)

No, I'd say it's more like this actually...

Those are from the last few days. Let me guess, all of those unarmed students going up against armed cops were a clear and present danger.

I'm having an aneurysm reading these comments. Between the people confusing(or purposefully getting wrong) the use of the phrase "harm reduction" as being in relation to it's use in election/voting discourse and people criticizing protest tactics, I think we need to refocus here, especially on that(in my opinion) bigger issue that the comic brings up, in that privatization is being wielded as a weapon of the state. Perhaps we put a pin on that, and when we're in a better position and we can advocate for stronger legal protections for protesting even on private property(rather idealistic and naive I know).

when we’re in a better position

Been waiting for that for about... 20 years now. Are we any closer? Seems like we're farther away than ever.
