I send videos like this to my parents, and the first reply is “well how do you know they’re not criminals?”
Because these aren’t fucking cops Dad. If they were actual criminals, they’d be calling for backup when a crowd in Chicago tries to stop them from kidnapping someone. They would be bringing them in and charging them so we can determine if they are criminals or not. We have a fucking process for this already and it seems like either you forgot this, or you believe that the process shouldn’t apply to these people. Which would make you racist. And I keep reminding you about due process, and you keep telling me that you agree it’s important, so… Racism it is.
“HOW DARE YOU CALL ME RACIST!”
Ok Dad.
Maybe don’t assume the person being brutalized by cops is a criminal because he’s brown, and I won’t think you’re racist.
Dad ain’t asking a question. Dad is positing a scenario he ripped out his arse with zero evidence to excuse fascist violence and pretending he’s playing devils advocate.
Deliberately or unthinkingly, the end result is still the same
