      Not to mention one did their act in NYC and fled to suburban Pennsylvania while the other had to deal with police from a far more mundane environment. People who think the comparison can be used to paint police intentions (as if they’re even a single body like some army of droids and not individuals who have free will to show up) are just sad, it would be like saying “the 1918 plague was not as widely reported or is as known as the smallpox plague, therefore it killed less or was less a priority”. People are sadly disproportionate, that’s just how things seem to have worked in history.

        It really just comes down to whatever helps the narrative. Empirical truth is no longer required anymore. All everyone really needs now is just a good profound meme-

        and this dude is destined to become one. His entire message is going to become lost amongst all the edgy salivating kids, climbing over one another to see who can make the coolest cartoon out of him.

    It’s all about attention. They wanted their photos taken. Luigi made history, while children getting massacred is just another day in the USA.

    They had to maintain their “fearful” image, or they wouldn’t be able to do their job.

    Not like they’re even doing a good job with their real job. $7.50 an Hour ended up doing their job for them.

    They’re treating him like he tried to blow up Gotham City when all he did was kill Lex Luthor.

      This tells me they see Luigi as a more dangerous threat than the military saw fucking Superman in that movie.

        My favorite part is when he stands up to talk to the mirrored glass the handcuffs just pop apart like they weren’t even there in the first place. Four military soldiers in this picture for a man who could literally turn them into pink mist

        VS the entourage NYPD gave Luigi. An unarmed man with a back injury. They really are scared.

    So, given that 4 students is equal to 1 cop and that 1 CEO is more or less equal to 30 cop, We can say that a student is equal to 0.25 cop So a CEO is equal to 120 students live. As they have been around 70 victim to school shooting by year and around 300 school shooting for the last 3 years in the USA, we can deduct that the death of a CEO is around 2 year of school shooting combined (not taking into account the wounded) so around 600 school shooting.

    Is my math correct?

        Depending on whether you mean Sandy Hook/Columbine type shootings or any shooting that involves any school property in any fashion then either mostly white or mostly black. If you’re averaging a school shooting a day, then you’re including any shooting involving school property so mostly black but also fewer students than you’d expect (a lot of “school shootings” are just gang violence that involves school property in some fashion and a surprising number are accidental discharge of a concealed carry that hits no one).

        You’re supposed to set up a system of equations and use substitution or row reduction to solve. It’s easy! They let you use a ti-89plus titanium, so make sure you’re familiar with how to do this on your calculator.

    “The function of that police action, those interventions in Central America and the Middle East, is system sustaining. It is to maintain that overall system. You don’t look at the particular cost. I can demonstrate to you that in every single bank robbery, the cost of the police was more than the actual money that the robbers took from the bank. Does that mean there’s no economic interest involved? They’re not protecting the banks? No! Of course it’s economic; of course they’re defending the banks. If they didn’t stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost, it could jeopardize the entire banking system. There are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime. That’s not true; the function of the police is social control and protection of property.”
