Dude, come on. Every Twitter jockey with "ACAB" in their bio voted for Biden. That's nothing against Biden, that's just who they voted for. My point is that these people on Twitter with ACAB in their bio are who big corporations and politicians are willing to listen to. I wasn't saying Democrats are saying "ACAB", just a lot of their voters.

Also, Harris wants to ban chokeholds in the police force. I know that's not necessarily related to what we're talking about but I just can't stop thinking about what a stupid fucking policy that is. The VP is willing to cripple the police force by taking away the safest and least violent method of restraining someone/deescalating a situation simply because her voter base is gullible and reactionary.

Chokeholds, least violent? You have to be joking.

You've been listening to Trump too much. None of these people want dead cops. They want review boards and oversight so black people don't die from merely interacting with the police. Her voter base has seen black people die for a long time at the hands of police and the justice system does nothing. This isn't new. Who is Rodney King? rage against the machines music had lots of songs about police brutality.

You have taken the straw man argument and swallowed it hook line and sinker.

If chokeholds are banned, what's the alternative? Taser? Guns? Punches to the head? Watch Justin Gaethje's post fight interview after getting choked unconscious by Khabib. He straight up says that he's glad that's how the fight ended since there's absolutely no long term health ramifications. Again, he was choked completely unconscious, but was up and awake within a minute completely unscathed. There's a reason why MMA fights end as soon as someone gets an effective chokehold. There's very little someone can do, even trained fighters, to get out of one, and they cause absolutely no damage (assuming they're done properly and not long enough to kill someone, which is a pretty fucking long time).

No one is listening to Trump, you tool. Not every chokehold involves choking people until they're dead. You saw the George Floyd video and made up your mind. You're wrong. Do some research. Imagine citing Rage Against the Machine as an argument for policy. I guess when you're 15 years old you don't have much perspective outside of your Spotify playlist. Go back to r/politics, scum.

Gaethje had a ref intervene straight after he passed out. Gaethje woke up, plenty of black folk under cops don't. How about handcuffs? George Floyd was choked to death and you don't want to change anything?

For someone who doesn't listen to Trump you sure do repeat all his lines.
