That doesn't change the fact that everyone that they kill was an innocent person by law.

@glennlab by that logic Hitler was innocent

@Tejas Glen is wrong. You didn't make an extreme argument. You made an idiotic argument! Rounding up people for eventual genocide is hardly any sort of legitimate police action.

@Krish55, @glennlab it's not an extreme argument if it follows the exact same logic. I would argue the original post is extreme. It's not my fault if you can't see the idiocy of the post.

@Tejas It is an extreme argument, because it specifically addresses US law and police shootings neither of which applied to Hitler.

@Tejas
OK since I have to spell it out for you, here goes.

A cop is legitimately entitled to engage in police action. But many abuse that by killing innocent people without reason.

A Nazi government, on the other hand, lacks legitimacy by its illegal seizing of power, as Hitler did in 1934. Furthermore, rounding up an ethnic population also lacks legitimacy.

To compare the two is simply idiotic.

@Krish55 okay since I have to spell it out for you. If a serial killer is actively trying to kill someone or a police officer, and the officer kills the criminal. By the logic of this post the officer just killed an innocent man.

@Tejas I was replying to your faulty comparison, not to the original post.

Furthermore, you know that's not the sort of police killings that people are protesting.
