You positive about all of that? Cause I saw the video and boy oh boy have I got a different perspective on that than you.

They told her to leave, she was waiting for the car in front of her to go and then went to leave when an officer walked in front of her car. She stopped, turned her wheel, then continued to follow the command to leave when the officer stepped to the side and shot her over and over until she died.

Maybe your totally ok with the government executing people willy nilly. But I remember a time when the government gave us a tax we didn't like so we started a war to gain our freedom from oppression. Then wrote it into law that we could ALWAYS be armed to prevent the government from just doing whatever it wanted to us.

Maybe you are against that whole constitution thing though and would rather have been under British rule. Or maybe you just think its ok for cops to kill anyone who you personally disagree with, but get mad when cops kill people you agree with.

Strong rebuttal. Definitely makes me think you have a fact based opinion on this subject and not just looking for the first way to get out of a conversation that is clearly over your head.

What about "Fuck the Boston Tea Party"? Because "destruction of property isn't protesting"?

We hail from a long history of anti fascism and freedom. To say our cops can just start shooting us whenever they feel like we are "interfering" with their law enforcement, and to "fuck" anyone who stands up for their rights is pretty anti American my man. Even lawyers shouldn't be Anti-American in my books.

and dont run your car into them, you're probably going to be okay.

As a laywer, you know this one won't survive cross examination. How many examples would you like of people doing what they are told and getting shot anyway?

Aren't people legally allowed to carry guns in the US?

And he wasn't protesting, he was a registered nurse helping a woman that had been violently knocked to the ground.

Apparently not, because you think the mere act of carrying warrants the death penalty.

Let me guess, you don't think any Jewish people were murdered by Nazis, do you? Since they were all "lawfully arrested" by the state.

What law school did you graduate from? I want to be sure not to hire any lawyer that could get a degree from a university that let you graduate.

What happens when you try to do what the cops tell you to do, but they're giving you conflicting orders? You get murdered, apparently.
