In reply to the discussion: Russia: Constitutional Court Upholds ‘Foreign Agents’ Law [View all]cprise
(8,445 posts)63. So condemning lethal force in response to beatings is 'support of police brutality'.
What an upstanding assessment.
If lethal retaliation is ever justified in "protests", I would expect the number and duration (days? months?) of beatings to bear heavily on that question. I don't think there were even any taped examples of police brutality on Dec. 2 or the day before.
And don't think I didn't notice how you suddenly dropped all reference to domestic US protest from your windy response-- retreating back toward the NATO-frontier side of the chasm where the shadows flatter your world-view.
OWS would identify your views as Black Flag Anarchist and spit you out. The US government would be far less charitable.
