@Robo105 @anolandria Because the majority pushed them back down.
Not saying go out and shoot up cops I'm saying defend yourself and others by any means necessary, stop telling people to not fight back. Violence is an unfortunate necessity to keep yourself and others safe.
Again, they don't need an excuse to kill you. Why make it easier by accepting dying? Accepting other deaths as "necessary"?

Total Pacifism is a privilege. I'll keep saying it until folks really get it.

@Robo105 @anolandria Also, the peaceful BLM protests gained supporters but no changes. In my home town literally nothing changed. White people dont like black people especially in large groups. No support for such 'violent gatherings' or 'stupid liberals' All over the country, nothing changed.
Support is fine and dandy. Change is what's important. I can talk all day long I support you I'll help you. It means nothing until I actually do something to help you

@Robo105 @anolandria The Branch Davidians were peaceful folks who minded their own business. They caused no problems and were well liked The government made up lies about them, attacked and killed them
My point was the government needs no reason to kill you. You can be the most peaceful being on earth and they will kill you. Black folks die even more now despite being as peaceful as always. It's a grossly privileged take to say sit down and die nicely, don't cause problems
Pacifism is privilege

@Robo105 @anolandria Not to bag on you, I swear. I get where you're coming from, I was there for a while.
Just, for me, it's a failing option. I'm not looking for violence, I don't want it. I'm not gonna run away from it, I'm going to fight back when it gets to me (I've not encountered ICE personally yet).

@Robo105 @anolandria Tell that to the folks in Waco or the Branch Davidians. Or the guys on Ruby Ridge.
The government can and will do whatever it wants, when it wants. They have drones, long distance guns and bombs. They can and will use them on the American people.
I get being pacifist. I try to be. That privalege is swiftly coming to an end for the majority of us. I can't stand by and watch my people die anymore.
