    Your example does not read the same as this post, which sounds much closer to a threat. Yes, you are defending fascist rhetoric because police officers with power to kill protesters are not like other citizens. This is a disgusting apologia.

      Read the last part of the quotes. The sheriff literally states that if you throw a brick, throw a firebomb or point a gun at you then they will kill you.

      Im not sure if thrown bricks can kill so I left it out but setting people on fire and guns obviously can and almost certainly meet the rules by which the police can shoot at you (as well as others in CA but Im less certain of that).

      Again this isn’t apologia. You either have not read the quotes or you aren’t thinking that you would have the same rights to self defense in those situations.

        It is specific, he’s statng something he will look for as an excuse to murder.

        Also he is a police officer, not just some dude, so your comparison was bullshit to begin with.
