But... but... It is a well known saying: "Violence never solves anything." and it doesn't ... ever. But it does get at least temporary results. • Like when cops issue bogus tickets to innocent people. Or shoot random people, just because they're there and the cop can. • Then, to add insult to injury, we have a wonderful(?) court system that tells us the cops did nothing wrong and we're so lucky to have them to "protect" us! [Not exactly sure how this isn't also violence being added on top of the violence originally done by the cop(s).]
Fun Fact: You don't have a "right" if some clown can decide to take it away, just because said clown can.
[Warning: I've not even gotten a good start on this rant. Apologies.] Edit: have to add this:
