Do NOT throw bricks at cops. Cops will literally put piles of bricks near protests to tempt stupid people to give them a reason to shoot them in the face.
Calm down Karen, it is a meme
We have to be smart. Throwing bricks is stupid.
Man this is lemmy whiplash. One thread judging Americans for not starting a rebellion and the next saying we shouldn’t throw bricks at cops.
What do you people think rebellion is?
I feel like in America you should be able to do better than a brick. Cars and guns everywhere.
Throw a car full of guns.
Exactly
Rebellion involves guns. Until we’re ready for that, inflatable chicken suits are the meta.
The current battlefield is in the minds of the non-radicalized. Bricks only hurt us in that battle. Watching inflatable chickens being shot with rubber bullets helps us win.
Not very familiar with the lead up to the American Revolution are we?
Lots of things being thrown
Ok, tough guys, you win.
Now you’re a tough guy™ when you point out hypocrisy
Throwing bricks is how the gay rights movement got literally anything
Yeah you can’t be peaceful if tye other side isn’t and Will continue to oppress you
You’ve been propagandad. Throwing bricks is good
Ok, let me know how it goes.
It’s funny you think I haven’t already done so
How did it go?
Empoweringly

It resulted in the liberation and elevation of an entire segment of society from the darkness of repression.
Feels extremely good, highly reccomend
They weren’t there. These are feds and troll farms inciting idiotic behavior online.
Probably better then clutching pearls at stupid memes
We aren’t though. Nobody thinks ahead. It’s all protest reactions and meetings.
We need leaders.
Uh… Not sure that’s the solution. Just not larping or following the herd would be great.
The solution is not to organize?
Leaders≠organization
Often counter to it. Terrible structure. Does not fix this problem.
Rocket-propelled brick launchers, got it
Have they really? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pallets-of-bricks-protest-sites/
Interesting, thank you!
Most of the claims against that are tweets by police. And the police have never been caught lying, right?
“Mostly false” should be turned into “insufficient evidence” because there doesn’t seem to be convincing evidence on both arguments.
Which is more likely?
(a) The police ordered seven tons of bricks to be delivered to a location where a protest might occur sometime in the near future, in the hopes that they would be thrown at them by protestors, so that they could arrest them.
(b) Construction site brick piles are a common occurrence in urban areas.
You don’t need the police to provide them; just ask Marsha P Johnson. Lol
Another valid use is using them to cross at a crosswalk. Much more effective than those stupid orange flags.
Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Inciting violence. Explicitly saying to mutilate another human being by throwing an actual brick at them*Clutches pearls*
They must’ve misunderstood something, people in this community would never advocate violence against police, who are definitely fellow human beings worthy of praise.
Exactly cause cops are certainl not one of the main things that protects the rich, the politicians and the people who bought them no.
ay dios mio
Gotta use a brick because Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun.
Inciting violence. Explicitly saying to mutilate another human being by sniping them out of their Merkava with an actual Ghoul rifle

They’re the same picture.jpg
I See no difference
Jokes aside, guys I know they were human beings, but so are iof soldiers, cops aren’t that bad but I think throwing bricks AS SELF DEFENSE is a little justified since Cops generally have five power to just hit and massacre people. Here in Italy they hit someone so hard he died of internal injuries. Cops aren’t innocent.
lmao fr, obviously they delete the post :/
Okay, and I have to shit one out?
what about freemasons?
