If your basis for ethical governance is splitting hairs about relative body count, stop, go back, you fucked up. But also: give them a minute. It's the cops we're talking about here. They might be a little slow, but they'll get the job done eventually.

... I'd say the body count for which your government murders you is pretty damn relevant without splitting hairs lmfao.

Emphasis "relative". The US govt and agents thereof (read: police) murder and brutalize often enough, and even get quite upset when people get upset over their doing it. That's why I say it's splitting hairs.

Bro we can all tell you’re just looking for excuses to justify government violence when it suits you.

You can pull the mask off now, we know what you are.
