The pigs seem to be skurrying in the other direction, unless the protest is actually peaceful. Then they’re happy to show folks how big and bad they are lol.

The rise of the right, and these riots are a symptom of the same thing. Failure of the center and left, in whatever form it actually takes, to provide the conditions for a thriving society. But sure, be mad at the symptom, not the cause.

ACAB!

Yeah, actually it makes sense. They are property and the pigs’ objective is to protect property.

You’re comparing linear distance to surface area of the south China sea. I’d be curious to know how close to Chinese airspace this bomber or group was flying. Fair enough though, if you think it’s not analagous we could open it up to the entire gulf of Mexico/Caribbean. It seems pretty clear to me that Chinese aircraft in that area would result in a tantrum that would probably escallate beyond tailgating.

Imagine what the US would have done if a Russian nuclear capable bomber had been pstrolling the space between FL and Cuba at any point in our history? “Ahh they had bad manners around our death machine flying off their coast”. Grasping jangoistic pearls. The entitled outrage of empire right here.
