...and this is NOT uncommon.

Anyone else remember this woman who was shot to death by dozens of rounds for FALLING ASLEEP IN HER CAR?

[Jenne]

The correlation between incapacitated and obviously non-threatening folks and the cops with guns, tasers and the power to put them down at will, no matter the cost, is something that truly will probably never go away.

[Iason Ouabache]

What was he going to do, stump them to death???

[Cain]

And then run over their feet.

Have you never seen Ben Hur?

ETA:  Totally going to hell for that, aren't I?

Good think there's not anarchy and people aren't dominated and abused by those with more power! 

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Good think there's not anarchy and people aren't dominated and abused by those with more power! 

You're right.  Some cops are bad, so we should trash all pretense of a society ruled by law and run back to the jungle.

That will fix everything.

UNNNNNG!

We can already do that.  So why should I buy into your anarchist nihilism?

I'm an Anarcoptimist.

It seems to me that presuming that humans have to have someone in charge to force them to behave is a pretty nihilistic viewpoint...

Optimism is a form of derangement.

It's based on observation.

Now gimme your sammich.

Observation or not, its still more nihilistic than my observations

You can have my sammich when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.

A plain fact is not nihilism, it's a plain fact.  Humans are pack animals, and require a heirarchy.

And I would gladly shoot you Tuesday, for your hamburger today.

Ah, but if you shoot me for my hamburger... then my friends will hunt you down and smoke your backside... Is the hamburger worth it?
