    There’s a big difference between being a cop, and being a contractor who sometimes has to put up cameras

      I’m not capable of violence myself so I won’t pretend to support it. That being said, there is a whole process of dilution of responsibilities to make unacceptable decisions happen, if everyone plays nice and by the rules, nothing will happen. Past struggles have never been overcome peacefully.

        My intention was that attacking the people doing to work of putting up the cameras is not moral.

        Destroying the cameras and resisting the police is, IMO, moral. Escalating action against the people sufficiently high up the hierarchy of the system that they’re making executive decisions? Also moral.

          I personally vote for being polite and cordial. Patiently wait for them to finish, then swat the camera right back down with a baseball bat.

          Smile, then offer them the baseball bat and invite them to take a swing.

      Sure, one beats protestors, the other helps them figure out who to beat.

      At this point, you’re arguing which turd stinks less, when they all smell like shit.

        Do you really think that the people putting a pole in the ground are the same people who decide to put them there? Are the same ones who make any decision in the process of advancing fascism?

        People need food, and sometimes they have to do things they don’t really want to do for it.

        Hell, they may well be some of the same people destroying them, simply so they can get more work, for all you know.
