Are we just annoyed at the unjustness between the different responses?
Yes.
Or does part of us want to see violence and brutality inflicted on people we don't agree with.
No. I'd prefer they didn't shoot/choke to death/tear gas/rubber bullet either group, but policed all protests with the same level of response appropriate to the level of disorder.
Post history checks out ;)
I guess I'm just considering how much of this is people I don't like doing stuff. Or possibly and underlying fear of the reality of this happing in a country like mine - rather than what I've been conditioned to expect from "less developed" countries.
We were talking about this, this morning and the whole "if they'd been BLM" point lots are making. Are we just annoyed at the unjustness between the different responses? Or does part of us want to see violence and brutality inflicted on people we don't agree with.
You see a similar thing with the woman who just died that people are framing as a Qanon nut. When many of those same people probably view Lisa Montgomery (who cut a baby out of a mother and kidnapped it) as mentally ill.
