Funny how upset people got about this. Where exactly is it wrong? When people say things they shouldn't be upset when it is pointed out how those statements have been used in the past and what exactly they have been used to justify.
I'm not sure even how to respond to this. You're seriously going to sit here and compare a few thousand bad cops among millions of them to an entire government slaughtering 11 million people?
no, I am not comparing the the two at all. I am comparing the justification to support them (not that i have seen anyone say it on here lately), that justification is the same. And even if the cause it is used to support is just (American police), the very fact that it could be used to support damn near anything should imply maybe that shouldn't be the bar we use to justify American life.
Right, and no one would justify American police if they were killing tens of millions of people. Are you saying justifying having police is the first step towards a Nazi-type Germany?
I am saying a person who says don't break the law and you have nothing to worry about is using a seriously fucked up argument.
Well, in our cases, it's true. Now, if we were Nazi Germany you would have a point. Hence why I first asked if you were comparing the two.
It was true in Germany too. It is always true, which is why it is an awful justification for our laws.
So, you are not comparing what we are now to what Nazi Germany was, but instead comparing what we are to what we could become. Which is what I already asked.
No, I am saying that "don't break any laws and you won't have to fear the police" is not a valid statement of anything. It should not be used to justify anything because it can be said about anything.
And I'm telling you that if you abide by the laws in this country as they are today you don't have to fear police. Unless you want to bring up the 1 in a million cases where a cop does something stupid.
I agree with this.
They were breaking the law by being Jewish.
Both of our last two presidents and all of our next four, probably.
Good thing the economy is not lousy right?Also, !930-40s Germany did not have the US Constitution and the protections in place to prevent what happened. They had a lousy economy left them from the first world war and a people who so wanted out of the circumstance they were in they were willing to fall in line behind an egomaniacal socialistic dictator with a hunger for power and a hatred for a certain group of people. Who almost sounds like.........
I love it when liberals want to pump up Obama's "recovery" with one breath and bitch about it all going to the 1% with the next breath. The economy is great if you're a billionaire, otherwise it sucks.
