I appreciate the dedication to the character.

What happened to the other two pages?

Then surely you must also be aware of all the Americans who, a month ago, were staging their own protests against the shutdown but are now shedding crocodile tears because other people are contributing to the pandemic. The level of hypocrisy here right now is staggering. I'm not encouraging anyone to spread infectious disease, just pointing out that the folks who waited until now to start expressing concerns about COVID are not being entirely sincere.

I believe that's just the bitter talking. It is possible to believe that the threat level of COVID can be managed without having to resort to economic cataclysm using and enforcing proper precautionary habits, and still complain that the current rioters and looters (and sometimes, yes, the protesters) are flagrantly violating more than just the precautions in mind.

Keep in mind that those two groups are not necessarily the same people. Concluding that they’re contradictory or disingenuous simply because you belong to neither group is fallacious.
Being anti-lockdown was somewhat radical libertarian right. Being anti-riot or anti-BLM is centrist and authoritarian right respectively.

Weird personal stance, but I'd really like cops here to be trained on using mancatchers like a lot of the Asian countries use.

Not saying that brutality with these weapons wouldn't occur, nor would they always work, but doesn't seem like it'd cost much or hurt to take a crack at.

That would require police to have a level of empathy & fitness though.

Empathy

If flippin' Thailand can do it, I'm sure long stick will have its uses here.

I hear "mancatcher" and I think "Skaven". I don't think the Skaven are the model for competence or even-handedness.

I always see comments like that and in my experience, cops are people and back when I was dealing with some pretty heavy stuff, I had more positive experiences than negative. Its not like graduating police academy requires a degree in being an asshole.
