        slight difference in de-escalation training though. Our police has years of civil-work-courses before they are allowed on the streets. Also gun culture is night and day, cops here dont feel urged to use lethal force, because criminals most of the times are unarmed here

          I’ve seen videos of German police treating your protestors the same way US cops treat us. The only cops I’ve seen that seem to genuinely fear the people are the French, and as an American I understand being terrified of the French.

            What I have seen from the LA protests, we have nothing on the americans. I am certain they’ll fight back just as fiercely as we do on a regular sunday, except they’re arguably at more risk given the prevalence of firearms and the late stage fascisation of their police.

                Je me suis posé la question récemment : à quoi tient la culture de la manifestation et de l’antifascisme ? a-t-elle besoin d’un maintien régulier ? et lorsque que cette culture est laissée dormante pendant un certain temps, que faut-il pour la réactiver ? malheureusement je pense que la souffrance fait partie de la réponse. Des gens vont perdre leurs yeux, d’autres leurs droits, d’autres la vie. À chaque crime commis par les condés la vapeur va monter, la lutte s’intensifier. Viendra un moment où le peuple manifestant devra submerger la partie adverse. Mais cela peut-il seulement se produire dans un pays avec un tel appareil de répression armée ?

                  Cela arrivera. Nous avons plus d’armes à feu que de personnes détenues par des particuliers. Comme l’a dit un jour Thomas Jefferson : « Les racines de l’arbre de la liberté doivent être rafraîchies par le sang des tyrans. »

        God, I have read this title wrong. I read that Germany will equip policedog with Tasers. I was already picturing German Shepherds running at people with tasers in their mouth.

        If it’s anything like last time, it’ll be about 6 years.

        At this rate it looks like we should count the first 4 years, so help should begin around September 2027.

      The neo liberal imperialist yankee way will make it to you eventually… Ameridumb “culture” spreads like a virus. You are still apart of the death cult that is yankkkeee doodle dandy dumb dumb capitalism. You are just not In the imperial core. The pigglets in Yankee land are incredibly violent though. A special breed.

        America’s number 1 export since the end of WW2 has been culture. From Hollywood and music to games, fashion, the English language, and Microsoft, American culture has been dominant for decades.
