Because it is extreme for us. It is more socialism. Nobody else has any obligation to support your lifestyle, and we don't want every facet of it to be like Tricare, the VA, the DMV, or any of the countless things the government was never meant to be involved in, and manages to gloriously fuck up only to threaten to take it away when people are indoctrinated to it. No thanks.
And we aren't a democracy. We sure as fuck ain't Euro, so fuck off with that mighty white, colonialist bullshit.

This is why healthcare and education are so expensive.

T-shirts don't come with different legal standards differing by country, state, county, and city. Nor are they literally life or death.

I've crewed a stryker and am a nationally certified EMT, clearly that qualifies me to comment on Austrian tax policy.

Oh I'm sorry, is it not fucking obvious what country we're talking about?

Most of your point relies on there not being any notable support for police in those cities. There is. I spent most of my life in blue states, much of that in blue cities. Just look at how much red there is in New York, Oregon, Cali. And much of those transplants are ideological, by their own admission. Even me, born in Oregon, raised in Washington, but still a child of Idaho.

Fuck

So that's what you think. The movement doesn't have near the support you seem to think. Most of us look around at the fires and the chaos, and decide that we're better off staying right where we are than letting the anarchists and criminals have their way.
Seattle and Portland in particular, as they are quite literally hitting really damned close to home.

Floyd was clearly resisting. That does not justify his killing, but I never claimed it did. I merely pointed out that based on how the officers acted throughout, it wasn't a deliberate or racist killing. I'll repeat myself, that doesn't make it a good kill. The new angles simply make the incident different from how it has been made out to be.

Read my comments just a bit closer.

It's all too easy for westerners to forget that we largely live lives that even the greatest kings of yesteryear would envy many parts of.
We can argue over ideals and self-actualization only because we no longer need to kill one another for things such as water access, or whose gods are greater.

What did Ellen do?

Paramedics are not qualified to restrain or detain criminals or suspects, that's the cops' job. Maybe they were trained in CPR, but that's entirely unrelated to Floyd's breathing. CPR is only indicated when there's no pulse or spontaneous respiration. If you can say you can't breath, you can breath.
I'm not saying the officers were entirely in the right, but it looks less like a racist homicidal attack and more like a bad situation exacerbated by bad decisions. Manslaughter at the worst, no hate or premeditation.

They were attempting to be as accommodating and gentle as possible. They knew they were working with a mentally disturbed man, high on something. A man who demonstrated himself to be unpredictable, who the senior officer already knew had a violent record, and throughout they were attempting to deescalate and calm him.
And they weren't working in a vacuum. They knew eyes were on them, they knew it would look bad to force him anywhere, and if he resisted their escalation of force, they may have needed to defend themselves, eachother, and bystanders from a very large, unhinged, high, man.

Kinda makes the officers look less shitty. By a lot.

I see I'm not needed here. Nice.
