Well, why exactly are you doing it?

This is about the response I expected. God forbid you consider whether your feelings and preconceived notions align with reality.

FYI, my response to your initial post wasn't for you.


God forbids I engage in bad faith arguments with trolls who put words in my mouth


Exactly what words did I put in your mouth?

This is your statement: "just to make this explicit, protecting civilians has never been the purpose of modern police forces. they were developed to put down rebellions/catch slaves/protect rich people's property"

That statement is incorrect, no matter what your definition of "modern police force" is. That's it. It's not complicated, despite your attempts to deflect from the invalidity of that statement.


it's so incorrect that you knew exactly what I was talking about and agreed with me before you accused me of spreading misinformation :)


Yes, I knew exactly how you were stretching the truth to suit your viewpoints.

Thanks for confirming you knew exactly what you were doing as well. As I said at the start of this, I don't understand what you get out of intentionally making inaccurate statements, but I don't expect you to explain that.


thank you for confirming that you agree with the substance of my argument but have some weird ideological axe to grind with the conclusion! i also appreciate you wasting my time, failing to provide any other viewpoint or counterargument, and repeatedly engaging in ad hominem instead of the substance of my argument!


I don't agree with the substance of your implied argument, and you made no explicit argument.

You just made an inaccurate statement that supports your implied argument, because reality does not.
