  • In English it should read something like, “shoot dead an assailant(still not really ideal) or shot an assailant dead(to death preferably).”

    The mechanics of the title aren’t quite right. While most people will infer the correct meaning, some unnecessary jokes will be made by someone as you can see.

    The way the title reads now it would be interpreted as cops shot the, already dead, corpse of an assailant that died by some other means possibly unrelated to the police.





  • No not full stop. That’s not an equivalent comparison at all and it really disturbs me that so many people agree with you. What an egregious oversimplification.

    A crime is a crime. I’m not saying oppression gives a get out of jail free card. Hurting an innocent person is still wrong, but being afraid of an unknown person who is a member of a race that is predominantly cruel to you? Understandable. Calling out that race for bad behavior is also acceptable, wouldn’t you agree? As a member of an oppressed race you exist in a world not too dissimilar to the movie “They Live.”

    How can you know who is and isn’t your ally? It’s safer to assume they aren’t.

    There is a lot of nuance to this very complicated subject.
