I dunno you tell me what the subtext of opening with defending the cops and denying that cops target media. Then goes into both-sidesism.

And then wow look at what happens later:

But to say we shouldn’t place any blame on individuals over-simplifies the problem. There are multiple issues at play here, I don’t think you can just wave away the personal responsibility of the individuals involved.

Oh look it’s both sides are at fault again. If you’re filming at a protest, or even attending you have some personal responsibility for getting collaterally shot in the face or teargassed.

This is nonsense, the violence is extremely asymmetrical and involves the use of indiscriminate weapons. I mean imagine if a protestor fired rubber bullets or teargas into a crowd to hit a shell or LM exec, what would anyone be saying about that person? He’s not presenting some nuanced critique, he’s gone straight into defending violence which would constitute literal war crimes if it wasn’t the police doing it.
