If they wanted to strike fear and assert dominance, they would just use SWAT, which already exists. Or the national guard, because they have done that before.

Saying that militarized police automatically -> police state is a slippery slope philosophy and I don't believe it

using SWAT or the National Guard doesn't invalidate it from being a Police State, either way it's still the political superpower asserting their dominance using excessive force.

and militarized police doesn't automatically mean a police state, but it points towards one.


also just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean it's not true.

?
We already have the resources for a police state. If the "political superpower" wanted to assert dominance it wouldn't matter if first responders had military gear or not. Because they wouldn't use first responders, they'd use the tactical teams we've already had for decades. The reason why we don't have a police state is because the constitution granted us inalienable rights. Not because we wont give beat cops better body armor

also just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean it's not true.

I don't believe it because it's a logical fallacy

what context does this fall in with the argument exactly?

Im confused but i think i know what you may be saying

[Bisjac]

It implying that all the black people killed by cops are thugs. You would think it's obvious but apparently not.

that isnt what the comic is about lol.

its about how black lives matter dont care about black on black violence.

that's what I'm saying, using SWAT or the National Guard to enforce a police state doesn't invalidate it.

it being a logical fallacy is just your opinion

...doesn't invalidate what?

It's a logical fallacy because there's no reason or evidence to suggest that militarized police will lead to a police state other than "it is a prerequisite". It's the equivalent of saying "we shouldn't have gay marriage because it will lead to inter-species marriage" which was a real thing

The police didn't kill the guy, a robot did.

So BLM will be fighting for robot brutality now.

[Red Spy]

Statistically black people in the United States are more violent than any other race.

Lead with that next time

robot lives matter

your chart shows instance by race of victim though, meaning black people are most often the recipients of hate crime, not the other way around

silly

both of the graphs you've posted could just as easily be used to show that blacks are unfairly targeted for hate crime and incarceration, and i get the feeling that that's what you're not going for

if you want something that supports your side, try pulling up statistics on blacks perpetrating murder, theft, and gang-related crime
