In reply to the discussion: Do we actually know who killed those cops [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)might be a tiny bit less offensive if we didn't already have ample evidence that we live in a deeply corrupt propaganda state operating with with virtually no limits when it comes to morality and manipulating the public.
This guy may very well be a lone nut. However, we also have ample evidence by now that our corrupt government is capable of just about anything in order to dupe Americans into supporting the most malignant aspects of their corporate, war, and police state agenda.
We know we are the target of campaigns of propaganda and smear by our own government, down to discussion boards on the internet. We know that most of the reported "terror plots" that were supposedly interrupted by our government were largely manufactured by it. And that's not even remotely the worst of what we have learned.
If our country will torture, break bones, rape, sodomize, and even murder human beings for the express purpose of extracting false confessions to manufacture American support for war, then people should think twice about attacking those who suggest that it might also respond to nationwide outrage and protests against our militarized police state with an extreme incident to justify its continuation.
At the very least, we should be open to questioning, and outraged that this incident will undoubtedly be used by the PTB to try to render the protests null and void.
