What evidence is there for the law enforcement apparatus not protecting transgender people in this particular case? Have their been similar cases for cisgender people where the law enforcement apparatus has cared more? I am not sure saying we need mob action to stop other mob action is a good long term solution.

Law enforcement is the tool being used to do the violence ffs, they’re not protecting anyone

Yeah make up your facts better.

Law enforcement are doing the right thing responding to potentially emergency situations. The problem isn't that they are responding to SWATing, the problem is people calling them in when there is no emergency.

I can't think of any instances of people being persecuted for being cisgender. But I suppose you can draw a reasonable comparison to The Pirate Bay, which has received much more attention from law enforcement for cutting into record labels' profits than Kiwi Farms has for terrorizing queer people.

Things involving industry and large sums of money have always gotten police attention easier. What is in question here is regarding discrimination against transgender individuals compared to cisgender ones with regards to harassment.

Jesus Christ dude, there's people dying here and you're arguing over technicalities. The site is still up!! No one's been arrested! You'd rather people keep dying while you argue that both sides are bad, while one side is killing people?

No, I'd rather people report things to the proper law enforcement authorities if they believe there is criminal activity going on instead of trying to pressure CloudFlare into taking down websites for their moral or political beliefs. They have already resisted pressure from Ukraine regarding Russia which no offense is a directly killing far more people than Kiwifarms ever indirectly will.

etc

Key words in my post were in this particular case. Neither links talk about any similar cases regarding cisgender people and harassment either.
