It is natural for centralized authority to go rotten if left unchecked. Certainly not imaginary.

If I had my way, all government bureaucrats would have a body cam glued to their chest, not just law enforcement. Humans are prone to bad behavior if they think they can get away with it.

And do carry a gun. And have a shotgun for home defense. And a long gun for when it's time to water the tree of liberty.

At what point, in the sort of situation we are discussing here, should one make use of one's gun?

Some people would say that the fact we're having this discussion means we should have used our guns a long time ago.

I don't personally think we're their yet because excessive police violence in my mind is simply a result of having a large amount of society that thinks you can pick and choose which human rights apply to whom and when and I think police violence will go away as that gets solved.

That's up to you. I'm just here to make sure you have firearms available for when you decide it's time to use them.

honest question: did you get partial tumescence when you typed "water[ing] the tree of liberty"?
