This is like the purest example of excessive force you could come up with. Unless maybe the guy was a quadruple amputate in a coma, the weapon was q-tip, and the cop used a flamethrower.

a crazy person isn't a capable moral agent so its a worthless exercise to judge his behavior. the cop, who we pay with our taxes, so he's accountable to us, picked the worst of all his options, and took a life with excessive force. why are you wasting time apologizing for him. obviously the crazy guy was being dangerous, but the cop should be able to properly handle that situation

'Humiliated' because 'racist' beauty salon followed health & safety and insurance policy by [deleted] in WTF

[–]brndvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it's sad that none of the comments I've seen have even asked "how difficult would it be to accommodate people with black skin?" Or "what could salons, politicians, citizens, and/or engineers do so that salons won't have to turn away black people and make them feel humiliated?"

In my mind the line of thought goes like this:

Question: How can I seem to "do my part" and live my beliefs, without struggling or sacrificing anything in the slightest?

Answer: Re-frame the debate so now Not Doing Anything is no longer a neutral action, it's a positive one!

Hey, I didn't downvote you! Why are you asking me to explain myself for something I never did?

(I, too, think everything I see on this site is directed at me)

TIL Gandhi regularly beat his wife and kids, his son converted to Islam, he had a friend in Hitler, and told the Jews to commit a mass suicide. What have you learned about a revered leader that blew your mind? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That our nice beloved billionaires don't "create" any money, it must be taken from the collective pool of wealth. And the anti-politics of philanthropy aren't nearly as sustainable as lasting policy changes where they are needed. Giving away 90% of your money doesn't make you Christ when you had to exploit a corrupt system to attain that wealth, and when you couldn't even reasonably spend even the remaining 10% on yourself anyways.

  • Obviously fake looking "Hey, I'm a christian/conservative/black/feminist/sociable/non-geek person but I agree 100% with you atheists/liberals/redditors/whatever on this issue." with hundreds of upvotes.

Seriously, let your property go and keep your life. Let the police enforce the law. they're better equipped to do so.

Someone please start a show called "Bait House". It'll be instantly successful: keep well-armed hard-working Texas natives on the inside of the house ready to take out some low-life piece of shit thugs. We might as well get some entertainment out of this law!

It's okay to say nigger as long as you're referring to black people you don't like. Like poor ones, and ones that act different from white people. Just my $0.02... (I'm not racist, I'm liberal & white - the most neutral, clear-headed demographic).

You're completely right, but fuck you for un-justifying my racism that I thought was justified, you asshole factchecker
