Whataboutism.
Sure I have. But as your post demonstrates, folks here are far more interested in focusing on "threats and killings by the right", and mentioning such behavior when it occurs "by the left" is not terribly welcome.
The "countless African Americans killed by the police at the slightest fucking provocation" are discussed here in detail. Yet, the increase in
police fatalities in the line of duty is way up, and not discussed much at all.
Hell, the ongoing increase in gun violence not directed at cops, and not directed randomly or in "mass-shootings", is so out of control is some cities - the cities these officers work in - that the city is
calling in the Feds to help with enforcement.
"As of today, we’ve had 320 people shot in the city. Last year on June 6, we had more than 420," (Detroit Mayor) Duggan said. "We had more than 100 of our residents murdered this year. When you can have an 11-year-old girl in a home with a grandmother and five other children ... dancing joyously in the house and have a bullet come through and kill you, it hits very hard. It hits me personally, it hits the chief personally."
"Grow the fuck up"? I thought you were better than that. Oh well.
