Changing Views on Confronting Law Enforcement

ICU 812's Avatar
There is a thread on this forum on the events of Jan th, 2020. It is a long thread. The subject of protester confrontations with Capitol police is a prominent sub-topic there.

Similar confrontations withal enforcement personnel are in the news again every day now. But there has been shift in the coverage by leftist news outlets and the progressive left in general.

It has been abetted that the actions of the Capitol Police on 1-1-'20 were just and the protesters unjust. I would note here that the only death in the Capitol Building on that day was a protester shot by an LEO. nThis act has been and continues to be vi=gerously supported by the left .

But the left today vigorously supports armed confrontation by protesters against Federal law enforcement. And they decry any strong resistance from these officers. Liberal media outlets, progressive public officials and leftist agitators openly now advocate for what amounts to armed insurrection.

What a shift in viewpoint from only a few years ago.

Apples and oranges and you know it.

You will never convince anybody but yourself that Jan 6 was the same as the anti-ICE protests or even less violent because of the body count.

Or whatever other matrix you’re using to try and justify Jan 6.

But this is such a twisted pile of made up crapola, and whataboutism…..

You take two totally different situations and try desperately to make them equate. You can’t. Two different situations, completely different.

January 6th was an insurrection, and anyone who ransacked the interior of the Capitol was guilty. The woman who got shot was trying to break through a barricaded door to get at our elected Congressional authorities.

Minnesota was two people who were gunned down for no reason other than panic and mis-training.

If anyone, regardless of political affiliation draws any kind of weapon on duly authorized law enforcement, they get what they deserve.

No one with credibility or intelligence believes in supporting armed confrontation with law enforcement.

With out it one should just ignore this thread as the trolling it appears to be,

This thread is a fucking turd. It is typical MAGA...trying to diffuse criticism of themselves by twisting it back on "the Left."

NO ONE on "the Left" is "vigorously supporting" confronting LE with guns. The hypocrisy is with MAGA on this. Everyone from Trump to Noem to Pirro to...posters on here now. All lying cocksuckers who change their "opinions" about guns to fit the moment as it suits their agenda.

Y'all might love the 2nd amendment. But your hatred for "the Marxist Left" is so much more intense that you will sell out your belief in it. We ain't surprised. You are over and over willing to sell out your rights for your Fascist beliefs these days.

I'm surprised anyone responds to these disingenuous posts by the MAGAs? They're simply looking for attention.

The folks on Jan 6 were actually attacking the police with piles, bear spray, riot gear, etc in order to breach the capitol to stop congress feol performing their duties. The people being killed by ICE/CBP were filming ICE. They were not attacking them. In fact, a quick review of the videos show one lady in her vehicle with the ICE agent trying to leave the scene. The other instance was obviously ICE/CBP attacking folks filming them.

If you can't tell the difference between those situations you are an unserious person.

Lotta name calling and general bluster here.

Not much substance.

If the premise posed in the OP is incorrect, please demonstrate how.

The OP made the affirmative statement. Isn’t it up to them to make the argument? In what way does the left “vigorously” support armed confrontation by protesters against federal law enforcement? In what way are they advocating armed insurrection?

The entire premise is nonsensical. Any manifestos that he can point to? Or armed militia groups perhaps? Some how I doubt he has any proof other than some conservative bloggers rants on how the “Left” is actively trying to destroy Trump and America.
The OP likely can’t read or comprehend much so there is that. As with most of the rantings by folks on the right here, there is no factual support for the asinine statements made. Were the OP to have started with some support for the statement aside from a silly opinion, maybe there would be something to refute. But as with most of post like the OP’s, it’s a silly overbroad unsupported opinion of zero value.

Now they are asking for something that he has not himself been willing to do.

Why should anyone play that game? Like that charlie kirk guy whose motto was "change my mind". This ain't about satisfying one person.

Maybe not the left...and not just 'today'...

In late 2024 (but with legal consequences extending into 2025), members of the self-styled 2nd American Militia were convicted of conspiracy to murder U.S. Border Patrol agents and attempted murder of FBI agents
