If he had stuck strictly to cops, we’d be all good, but one of the first people he murdered wasn’t one.
Going after the families of bad people when they really didn’t play any role in the bad person’s actions is abhorrent and indefensible. Kids shouldn’t have to pay for the sins of the father and all that.
It doesn’t completely invalidate the good he did do/say, but it’s definitely a black mark on his record and why I can’t really get fully behind him, even for meme reasons.
I’ve brought him up before, but I think Micah Xavier Johnson is overall a better example. Apparently he was a sexual harasser when he was in the military, which is obviously terrible, but at least you can say when he went on his spree that he didn’t go for any non-cops.
I actually changed my mind on this position. I believe that all cops and soldiers, past, present, or future, should be crucified in front of their families. Should I have the families crucified too?
of course not, most us cops and troops still derserve to die though lol, you can paint me as a childkilling murderer bloodlust or whatever (and trust me you could do it with a much better thought out expermient than this) but at the end of the day these are organized and armed forces that serve as the enforcers of capitalism, imperialism, white supremacy and american hegemony …pretty sure theres some much less ridic premise for a thought experiment about a trolley and 2 tracks that explains pretty clearly why these deaths are a net good despite weirld libs comparing literal imperialists to slaves under roman imperialism
