it does, but what does authority mean to change the context

omg

don't like who's there? vote them out next time

I have repeated the argument multiple times

none of this "impeach" shit

"there are differences"

what is the difference specifically

If Hillary Clinton said she wants to bomb China, you'd be freaking out right now, you'd be posting it everywhere

Russia, more likely

Authority changes things very significantly

what if she just said "I think China should be bombed"

You'd still freak out

it would still make news and she'd still recieve rebukes

like lindsay graham just singing "bomb bomb iran"

This is why democracy works, because we hold people with authority accountable. If we stop doing this, it all falls apart.

or whoever it was, I think it was graham

in that case she might have the legal resources to do so

and is in a position in which she is supposed to enact what she thinks "should" happen

the officer saying something should happen has neither of those qualities

Wrong

Police officers hold power over civilians

yeah policemen legally assassinate congressmen all the time bro

What a rebuttal

and it supposed to enact his own policies on the world

that's his job description

So if every police officer said the same thing suddenly about politicians

They just all started messaing on their FB page

"this guy that guy deserves a bullet"

Who cares, right?

right

this is a really lazy and round about way of making excuses for someone who ought to have known better than to wish death on a politician while employed by the state

Then I don't want to argue with you lol

Cause if you see it like this, nothing will convince you

sounds like i'm right

If police officers can't be held accountable for their words then society collapses

They have too much power to just be forgiven

anyway he shouldn't be posting death wishes about people that's kinda rude i agree

It's not just rude

especially while employed by the state lol

A civilian doing that is rude, and would still be looked into by the police

I mean, again, I chalk it up to everyone's growing lack of respect for the democratic process, just opting for removing people from office by whatever means, rather than focus on next elections to do it.
