I think it’s a little more complicated than that.

Private property and human life are not mutually exclusive. Your private property is a representation of your labor in most cases. Yes their are criminals. You can’t tell me you value someone’s life while simultaneously destroying their private property.

So what message does police brutalizing peaceful protesters send?

That a legalized monopoly on force and violence might not be such a great idea?

Did you just try and connect the defending of private property rights to advocating for police brutality?

I dont see any face down chokehold in that video, am i missing something? It looks like theyre trying to prise something out of his hands? Plus the guy didn't die so that's obviously an improvement from an encounter with the actual police.

The neckbeard who posted the video had this to say:

"This street preacher is definitely a character

But have these people never seen a street preacher before?"

If some annoying god botherer was trying to preach to me over a loud speaker, i'd probably take his microphone off him too.

There are plenty of rightwing psychos playing vigilante police force as well

And have been for a long time.

Police brutality and private property have always been linked in America, hearkening back to slave patrols.

"choke out" tweets--

If the police did exactly what we see in that video, there would be praise for their restraint.

Stroll in to the Zone pop a tent rope off a little area and make a few trades. Congratulations--you're now as close to anarcho-capitalism as you're likely to ever get

So Wookie is now pro totalitarian police state choking out peaceful protestors.

Got it.

I do wonder if the State of Washington and City of Seattle is going to have a big legal liability issue from all of this. There is clear documented evidence of citizens of the United States repeatedly having their civil rights violated, and the Washington govt doing absolutely nothing to secure the civil rights of their citizens.

In a sane world, it seems like the ACLU should be very concerned about what is going on here, but in this world I really don't know.

This take certainly didn't age well.

I think you are going to find yourself disappointed very soon. The whole mob assault on the Christain preacher dude not a good look. Wait until Tucker and Trump get their hands on this footage.

But anyway, if somebody actually knows where the juice comes from...?

I do!

They are at the intersection of 12th and Pine. This is a link to a Google Street View of the area behind the desk, spin the view to the right and you'll see the same "Liquor & Wine" sign. https://goo.gl/maps/piKvwMwajR5Dk3QGA

Don't CHAZ police know the chokehold is being banned?

Poor CHAZ, some members aren't too happy:
