Kathy Carbone@junkyardspaceship Nor American citizens…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 can’t 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
