      Is it still collective punishment when it’s an army in the field and not pows?

      Or is the important thing that there’s a dude with a gun in an organization aimed at hurting you?

        When was war declared? I have not had the memo.

        In any case I’m not entirely sure on what you are putting forward here.

          War was declared about the same time trump took office again.

          He’s putting forth that it’s state vs it’s constituent.

            I dont like trump either mate, but you’re gonna have to elaborate, cause this is all i got so far.

            Trump elected > war on cops > cop kills son > father kills other cop > justified because of war with cops

                  They got together to protect the fucker that did. They are accomplices. They are participants.

                  Why dont you care about the killing of the unarmed kid?

                  Why arent you talking about that being punished more lightly than this man killing an armed uniformed combatant? Was the murderer punished at all? Or was this man the only justice his murdered child was ever gonna see?

                    Because that’s the kind of thinking that cops use on civillians, the kind of thinking that killed that kid and that cop.

                    And saying I dont care about that poor child is just bad faith argument, I wont reply to you again.

              I choose to believe people can’t be as cognitive dissonant as OP saying cops (state) started a war since Trump (federal) took office, it must be a psyops by foreign entities to purposely promote a rebellious zeitgeist.

              On a related note, I wish there is a way I could configure which federated Lemmy instances I could remove from my feed, ml would be gone so fast…

        I dont participate in collective punishments. What groups are you associated with so people can decide if you should be punished for the actions of another?

          It opted in. It became an accomplice. This is not collective punishment.

          Notice how youre not saying its wrong to kill children with no justification?

          Because you think that’s okay.

          It’s that a white cop died tgat youre upset.

            Yes, I think kids should be killed for no reason and love all white cops. That’s definately what’s happening here and you are right in every way. Hey let’s start checking where everyone works and see if their coworkers committed a crime so we can kill their accomplices by association.
