Meanwhile defending all these ice gestapo roaming around masked often without properly identifying themselves at all.

Let's be completely real I'm seeing 99% (conservative) men pulling these kinds of comments. 

"Karen can be gender neutral" yeah yeah but it's letting these dickheads off the hook too.

Maybe he shouldn’t have grabbed the officers gun…

Maybe the 'officers' shouldn't be rolling up to protests kitted out like they're in the 101st about to take Baghdad.

I dont know how these people manage to insulate themselves from reality so hard. I would think eventually you would come across the truth enough times in the face of posts like this to realize how intentionally deceptive the big subs are. The video where he walks up to the officer and tries to rip the launcher from his hands is all over the internet right now but let's base our worldview off of one frame instead.

No, it’s more like: “maybe he shouldn’t have tried grabbing the weapon”.

Seriously though, did you watch this full video? In what world would you try and touch an officers weapon?

I did watch it. Did you? The same guy had just shot several people point blank in the face with the launcher. So when the military cosplayer pointed his weapon at him from 6 inches away, he pushed it to the side. Take it frame by frame and you'll see his palm is open, pushing the weapon, not grabbing it.

Curious, if you were holding a gun and someone came up and started putting their hands on it after you told them to back away from you, would you just be like "oh okay yeah just touch the gun some more"?

Now I know you didn't watch the video, because the "officer" approached hoodie, not the other way around. In fact, just prior to this, hoodie had been singled out by "officers" and tried to run away.

Now let me ask you a question based on what really happened. If you just saw a man shoot another man in the face, then less than a minute later he stepped to you, within inches of you, and pointed the weapon at you. Would you touch the weapon then, or allow yourself to be shot in the face?

Yes that's what happens when you're told to get back and you start moving forward. Try to keep up.

If you just saw a man shoot another man in the face, then less than a minute later he stepped to you, within inches of you, and pointed the weapon at you. Would you touch the weapon then, or allow yourself to be shot in the face?

If I saw someone get shot in the face I would not continue to do the thing the guy who got shot did to warrant being shot. So I would not find myself in that situation.
