Kathy Carbone@junkyardspaceship Nor American citizensā¦like the restaurant customer who murdered a robber by shooting him in the back as he was leaving, then shorting him numerous more times as he lay face down bleeding.
Phil@Heartsonycgr @junkyardspaceship what on earth has that got to do with the original point?
Ridiculous whataboutism right there.
Well done for undermining a serious point.

@Phil_C @junkyardspaceship Neither is acceptable and both are symptoms of our insane gun culture.
@Heartsonycgr @junkyardspaceship and there's me thinking police have been beating innocent people to death, choking them to death. Something entirely unrelated to gun culture.
But thanks for trying to dilute down a serious point by introducing another completely different one.
Like I said, laughable whataboutism.

@Phil_C @junkyardspaceship Gun culture sets up an adversarial relationship with citizens and police. So does militarism of police culture. So does racism. Aggression and killing of citizens can be done by a number of means. Appears you canāt deal with more than one serious issue at a time. Sad to b a one trick pony in a complex world. Your anger towards me simply reflects your inability to analyze multi level issues, Pollyanna.
@Heartsonycgr @junkyardspaceship perhaps you would like to study history and understand how many law enforcement agencies were born from the desire to control black people. Here's a useful primer for you.

I would then suggest that the inherent power boundary of law enforcement is the critical factor referred to in the original post, not guns.
Police brutality NOT gun violence are the triggers for recent police criticism.
@Phil_C @junkyardspaceship Simple minded you are, oh young one. Linear thinker, and inexperienced & ignorant to boot. Lack any logical thinking skills. You belong on Twitter. What are you doing on Mastodon talking to grown ups?
@Heartsonycgr @junkyardspaceship if you think that gun culture is the reason for an adversarial relationship between the police and the public then:
1) you know very little about history
2) you have no comprehension of systemic racism within the USA
3) And you appear you have forgotten that slavery and segregation are even a thing
I bet Rosa Parks felt an adversarial relationship with the police because of guns and nothing to do with segregation & discrimination.
Idiot.
@Phil_C @junkyardspaceship OMG yr ignorance is boundless. & U suffer fr Dunning Kruger. Did you know I took care of people in a very poor black community for 13 years? Or that I cared for a 13yo black child (& many others) who died w a bullet in his brain fr collateral damage in a gun street fight? Or took care of hundreds of poor black IVDU w AIDS in 1980s who ALL died? U smug & ignorant bastard. U know NOTHING. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
@Phil_C @junkyardspaceship PS. As a UK resident, what the hell do you know about the ramifications of gun culture in the USA?

@Heartsonycgr @junkyardspaceship Imagine trying to take the intellectual high ground with a bio that uses the nonexistent word scotophile in it.
Scotophil, is a word; and it seems more apt for you as it refers to something that thrives in darkness.
Someone who loves Scotland would be an Anglophile. Although "lover of Scotland" would be more correct as it specifies the country rather than the nation.
Just read some books.
@Phil_C @junkyardspaceship š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ Once again showing the limits of your bounded intellect. As a lifelong research scientist & physician advancing new knowledge was my business. Graduated from Harvard College, first in my med school class, clinical training & faculty at Johns Hopkins SOM, Research Director @ CBER FDA, Dep Scientific Director @ NIDCR NIH, Chief of Medicine @ VA Hospital. You play w computers, hopefully not in your motherās basement. š¤Go back 2 Twitter, troll.
@Heartsonycgr @junkyardspaceship I can speak French but I don't live in France. It's called learning, try it some time.
You're so stupid that you took a post about police brutality /physical violence, and thought it was specifically about gun culture.
Kindly explain how Tyre Nichols was killed with a gun?
Jesus you don't even have as good a grip on your own domestic news as I do, you halfwit.

@Phil_C @junkyardspaceship Bad analogy. Police in the USA carry guns all the time & use them. Police violence takes many forms. How many times do I need to explain it to you? ādeathsā¦caused by police ā due to being shot, beaten, restrained, intentionally hit by a police vehicle, pepper sprayed, taseredā etc https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2020-06-03/data-show-deaths-from-police-violence-disproportionately-affect-people-of-color
