Indeed. It’s not a defensible argument because it’s too categorically strong. I looked up some reasonable counter examples just to make sure I’m not crazy, but I will not be in the position of defending pigs, so I’ll leave it at that.
Definitely fuck the police, but don’t stoop to their level.
It’s not defending the police to defend the truth unless you think the truth makes the police look good. Knowingly spreading lies is just bad from every angle. Tactically, rhetorically, intellectually, etc.
It’s doing the right’s job for them if stuff that is easily disproven is being presented as a reason that cops suck.
I am pretty sure they were saying they weren’t going to share the examples they looked up in defense of cops, not suggesting that you were defending them.
My main concern is lack of critical thinking skills clouding the message. I want to stick to actual facts as much as possible, but for some of my brothers and sisters, vibes is all they’ve got to work with, and we still need these people too to present a united front and affect real change. Their heart is in the right place.

I am quite sure they were agreeing with you.
I didn’t read it as *disagreement and wasn’t arguing with them. I was just prickling at the ‘defending pigs’ bit and reiterating.
