DestroyerOfBlocks:
im not sure why you are trying to equate highway blocking with violent rioting
the police can and often will use violence as needed. allowing officers to shoot at whim solves nothing that isn't solved already and creates a whole host of other problems. if anything killing people will likely cause more panic and disaster than not as i'm sure everyone wants to take a lovely stroll down firefight lane

Yes, because you can still forcefully throw people into police vans without opening fire on them. Plus, we don't execute people for making fake 911 calls, even though those waste the time of EMS crews. The only reason people here are so gung-ho about supporting this nonsense is because they think they'll get to watch BLM protestors get shot to death.
Also, you aren't going to be 'getting people to the hospital faster' by littering the highway with corpses. After police open fire on criminals, the entire area gets locked down.

I've only ever seen states' rights come up as an argument against things that defile basic rights
slavery, desegregation, death penalty, gay marriage

yes
DestroyerOfBlocks:
really we should just make corpse removal more efficient by passing laws that force the auto industry to add body-plows to each car

I don't like it when people die. Needless to say, I'm against this bill.
