Just curious; how often do cops ram shit in Europe, Canada and Australia?

    Well what were they supposed to do? Wait for them to pack up and leave? People have places to go, and emergency vehicles might need to use the road.

      The best way to clear a blocked road is to drive a police car into the obstruction?

      Here it usually involves workers dismantling and taking stuff away.

      Arrest the people, like you know, the normal way. Go there, handcuff them, carry them away, dismantle the barriere. No shooting, no violence. Happens here in europe all the time.

          As best as I can tell he’s advocating for self defense against an individual who was intent on causing violence to peaceful protestors. There’s a distinct difference between defending yourself against someone intent on causing violence and harm to innocent individuals and advocating for violence against innocent individuals. In addition, we very clearly state in our documents that it is okay and good and cool and correct to be intolerant of the intolerant.

      Yes, they are supposed to wait for them to leave. Also peaceful protests will usually allow emergency vehicles to go through.
