Your take is just fear mongering and pushing the narrative that the police in the US are being militarized to protect people. You are talking about a 14 year period where 18 people died from 2 successful attacks, and hundreds injured. A stat line that is eclipsed by the number of people killed and injured by police every year. In case you are wondering that would be >600 killed and 250,000 injured per year.

The idea that this cure is better then the illness is just not born out in data.

It's very obvious you aren't even reading my comments anymore, I think we can be done now. I'm not going to participate in bad faith discussions. Obvious troll at this point. See ya.

Or I am taking my time responding as I just woke up.

But don't let me stop your victory lap. Clearly you are not at all projecting.
