    Protests in general should be heavily armed and (more importantly) well organized. Whether it’s the Nazis or the cops (insert ‘same picture’ meme here), they’re scared of an actual fight

      Everyone is scared of a fight at this point it seems. Only reasoning how it could get this bad before change.

        Yeah but the cops have been scared of a real fight forever. They’re cowards who like to attack people who can’t or won’t fight back, but shy away from anything where they might meet organized resistance; the Black Panthers proved it, long before I was even born

          Exactly why Reagan passed the Mulford Act when he was governor of California.

            If you didn’t, I was about to. California is anti-gun because one time black people had guns and Reagan didn’t like it.

          I met a couple of those OG Black Panthers recently. I like them a lot, they are surprisingly chill dudes that like to smoke weed

          Admittedly I don’t know how much fight will be left in me when I’m in my late 70s and early 80s
