.ml users siding with the police once again, I guess this is the logical endpoint of vanguardism

How you got that from my comment is beyond understanding. Did you read what I wrote? I was only commenting that based on the events as described in the article it is a little disappointing to read the gleefully and happy comments that an implied innocent person was killed by a grieving father.

As others have pointed out, the police in the US cannot be trusted. I do not trust the police in the US. I believe the militarisation of the police and the impunity with which they operate are a danger to the society. If anything I believe the police should be held to higher standards than the general population, not lower as I believe is the case. It's a fucked up institution and stuff must change.

But none of that justifies randomly killing someone. If that makes you think I'm on the side of the police then 🤷‍♂️

[Edit] I forgot to add that I do not blame the father exactly either. I cannot imagine what that must be like. I hope he will be judged fairly.

I'm on .ml and I fucking hate cops. You'll never see me concern trolling on behalf of some dead pigs.

lol what? That's such a gross mischaracterization of .ml users it borders on libel. If anything, they'd be in the ACAB camp.

they'd absolutely not be in the ACAB camp, considering the track record of tankies on creating police states. there wasn't a single ML state in history that didn't end up doing this.

also, considering your comment history of bootlicking .ml instances, you're either using an alt to appear less reactionary or just extremely gullible when it comes to ML propaganda.

Dude, you're so misinformed. They're anticapitalist, therefore they're anti capitalist-police. Police, especially Western police, protect capital. There's no way a person you'd consider a tankie would support American police. Absolutly no way.

Bootlicking? I do not. Anyone can check my comment history and see that.
