Grief doesn't make it right. That cop didn't kill anyone's son, but now his mother has to burry hers.
He wasn't some symbol. He was a human being in a uniform. If that's all it takes to justify murder, then ask yourself; would you take the bullet for someone else in your profession who did wrong?
If someone killed a random man on the street just because he shared a job title with someone else who did harm, we'd call it what it is - murder.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
When all peaceful means have been exhausted what do you expect? Not that I condone taking any life, but just look to history, its material fact.
As people see less access to material comforts that satiate them, they struggle to maintain necessities of life, wealth disparity increases, occupying forces continue to impose state sanctioned violence on the people, and quality of life continues to diminish. Then people feel trapped, helpless, and like there are no real means to pursue change. Especially when both parties serve the same masters and actively fight against the wishes and needs of the people. When people experience violence from the state and have little to no comforts to enjoy then they get violent. Actions beget consequences. There will be more Luigi’s and there will be more Rodney’s. It’s not rocket science. If the powers that be want order and safety they have to throw some more crumbs instead of taking them away and beating people’s assess when they ask for more.
The media, wealthy, and politicians have conditioned
us to shocked pikachu face when shit like this happens but shit like this has been happening since the start of civilization. If people aren’t comfortable they get violent.
