He is arguing the difference between killing and murder.
So that you understand his logic, someone running from police who is summarily executed was killed (and at some level deserved what happened to them).
A crooked cop shooting a man to take over his drug territory, well, that man was murdered (and sometimes charges are brought but sometimes the cop goes free).
So. 25 murders a year. Because. Logic.

Ummm... I explicitly said the cop was guilty of murder. Why would you say otherwise? Seems pretty clear what I said. Here it is again. He would have been one of the 25 of actual real murders. Instead you want to use phony numbers like 1150. Shooting people who are armed and using violence against you is okay in a libertarian society. It might not be in anarchotopia. It isn't murder.
Acting like the police just execute thousands of people. is wrong. It isn't my opinion. It is what the facts say. It is a clownish argument that takes away from real police abuses.
Even that guy's murder in South Carolina was completely avoidable. If didn't behave like a degenerate, he would be alive. I am NEVER getting shot by cop in that situation. NEVER. It isn't because I am white either. It is very easy to not get in a chase with a cop.

It ALL gets muddied when going from 1150 people murdered to X amount of cops were charged with murder and X amount of cops were convicted of murder and so therefore doubling the amount of cops charged with murder would equate to the total number of people murdered by police officers.
I apologize for the mischaracterization but feel that in spirit, the statement stands. Insofar as it relates to the cases of the countless, or rather uncounted, tens of thousands of people murdered by the police since its existence.

Nope didn't make it up.

Apology accepted.
So on the one hand you believe 100% of people killed by police are murders. The police are just executing people for sport I guess. It is the Hungers Games out there. Who will be the next sacrifice? It could be you. On the other hand, people who, you know, actually have studied this say almost 100%, almost, are completely justified shootings.
So you think Flint being a violent $#@!hole is just a big conspiracy?I'm sure a documentary maker would always be perfectly unbiased and impartial. *ahem* Michael Moore *ahem*

It is very telling of your logic that you cannot see why those numbers might be a tidbit underepresented.
Especially in relation to communicating with many limited government folks.
(Hint: Many laws shouldn't be laws and those fleeing or defending themselves against unjust laws are not morally wrong).
So to confirm, because drug laws are morally wrong (everyone would agree on that), if the police came armed to arrest El Chapo then El Chapo would be justified in shooting at the police. And if the police shot El Chapo, the police would be the bad guys in your world?
What about insider trading? Those laws are morally wrong. If the police raid a hedge fund, then it is okay to shoot the police? Is that what you are saying?
I am struggling here. I guess you are on like 8th level sarcasm. You will have to dumb it down for me. Here was your helpful hint. I don't know how else to interpret other than you believe it is okay to use violence against police who are trying to arrest someone for morally wrong laws.
Here's a rhetorical question: if a slave managed a firearm and shot a slave holder who was looking to capture him-- what would your response be?
Should he just follow the process for law? Appeal to the local commissioner? Write a writ of habeas corpus? Sign a petition? Vote for city council?
Odd, as no apology was offered. It's not accurate to say 100% of police killings are murders. (killing=/=murder) And for all we know, it could well be the Hunger Games out there. As of 10/2017, every database has been vastly under-counting victim stats. https://psmag.com/social-justice/how...-united-states
Nah. Actually, "Roger And Me" is an exception to Moore's propagandistic approach and quite good.
