So now it's not police brutality....it's police only pick on black men?
Dude, you flop issues so much, it's not even funny.
On a side note, this topic is about Minneapolis cops, not diet libertarians. Try to keep up. :/
They are very much related. Why do you live in such a black and white world? Are you autistic?

I mean if we simply MUST add politics into this topic... let's start with the fact that all this Minneapolis crap started in Ilhan Omar's 5th Congressional District.
Haven't seen anything on the net about Omar saying... anything about all this. Wonder why?

You aren't the state.
Avoiding content by bragging that 'your group' is in power is childish.
Pretending principled opponents dont care about principles or black people or killing middle eastern people because you don't is just more projection.
You came up with some juvenile fantasy that people who want to reduce or eliminate state power and advocate liberty really only care about power.
You don't want to consider the alternative. Libertarians have great and honestly held reasons for our advocacy of liberty and peace and against authoritarianism.
You don't dare challenge it on merit because you know you are outmatched, in more ways than one.
At the end of the day we both know you are being dishonest and know my post was spot on.
I might not be a government employee but my vote is what gives the state legitimacy. My vote, along with millions of others is what will constantly put the boot on your throat so that you can't even breath. All your sad internet arguments do nothing. Like I said, it's all about power and I'm reasonably happy with my situation and the role government plays in my life. Feels good man!
Authoritarianism is authoritarianism regardless if it's private or the state. You believe that making the police "private" will magically solve our problems LMAO. The same assholes who are police now will make up the "private police" that you advocate. Just look at who makes up Blackwater (or whatever it's called) for goodness sake. All of them are former US military and THOSE guys are even LESS accountable. I challenge your beliefs all the time and your answer is just herr derr liberty and that's why everyone just laughs at your beliefs. They simply have no basis in reality. Any time someone points out a serious flaw in your argument that has historical precedent you always fall back on the same argument. "Well, it's actually the state that causes the problem and we don't have a free market/free society so haha I win!"
It makes perfect sense though. It's REALLY easy to point out flaws but coming up with a consensus solution is VERY difficult. If it was easy, we would have done it already. You pretend that you have this perfect, magical philosophy that will solve all of our problems. The reality is that there is no magic bullet. There is no right answer. Everything is changing all the time. There are always new problems to solve, new points of views to consider, etc.
