    I kind of agree with @jon-nyc on this.

    Yes, some crimes are more equal than others.

    For example, I think that any killing of a police officer in many states is eligible for the death penalty. But the same crime if it happened to an ordinary citizen would not be.

    So, a assault on the US capital where the #2 and #3 people in the US were at does seems a bit more serious than breaking the window of the local 7-11 store.

    It may not seem fair, but that is the reality of the situation.

          With the democrats in charge we won't have to worry about police.

              What’s interesting and a little sad about this thread is that, at its core, whattaboutism is a wagon-circling maneuver.

                Also look at the thread about the Magats crushing that officer.

                Who expressed disgust, anger, or sadness?

                Who went straight to whattaboutism?

                    Nope. Custom and whattaboutism are totally orthogonal.

                        And just to be clear, and for the record, jon shed zero crocodile tears about the police killed in the Floyd riots.

                          That’s true, but then I’ve never shed crocodile tears about any death outside my immediate family.

                          Surely you must know that the tu quoque charge is going to fall flat on me. I was critical of the Floyd riots and at least as critical of the ‘racist cops’ narrative behind them as anyone here.

                            Lots of narratives are falling flat these days. Must be the power of the internet.
