Just want to get some perspective on what people think of the American reaction. I’m NOT asking if it will happen. I’m asking what do you think Americans will do, if anything if this happens. Do you think people will just not care or protest on the streets?

Edit: What would your reaction would be? (even if not American)

    As a American, we wouldnt even care. Maybe 2-3 days of news, maybe a few protests. But that’s it.

    I’m being real.

    We had a crazy person do a school shooting on a elementary school called Sandy Hook.

    We had cops drop actual bombs on citizens in West Philadelphia.

    Remember when America bombed that country and killed thousands of civilians? Are you going “which one”? Cambodia. Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Hell, Iran’s bombing had literal school children.

    We wouldn’t care.

        You would care, I suspect the person you replied to would care and naturally millions of others would, but I think your country at large is capable of forgetting atrocities really quickly if they didn’t happen on your soil.

        Just care, but do none action as Americans can’t unite for what is wrong

      The move bombing is a bad example given the fact they were in their second shootout with the police and had fortified the building specifically to repel the cops after making about a dozen credible bomb threats including fake bombs.

      Yes the police over reacted but that situation was not entirely one sided like the rest of your examples.

        The police never needed to be involved in the first place as far as Move goes. If they’d de-escalated it wouldn’t have been the problem they created. So it pretty much was one-sided.

              Showing up armed and ready is distinctly different then continually escalating to a gunfight, a bombing and a subsequent fire they allowed to burn down a whole neighborhood, correct?

              Stop being obtuse.

                Obtuse? You describe what the police did, yet point the finger at Move? I’m not sure you know what “obtuse” means, you’re arguing in circles.

                  They admitted to building a self defined bunker with self defined gunports before the police were called but no no, clearly the people making and planting fake bombs had no reason for the police to show up.

                  There’s disliking police with good reason and there’s being a fucking absurdist you appear to be the latter.
