[meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes. - eviltoast

    Sure. But that assumes police see cyclists as human beings rather than vermin that deserve to be run over. And in my experience, that is usually not the case. It is rare for a driver to get so much as a ticket for murdering a cyclist with their vehicle. Hell, half the time the vehicle parked in the bike lane is a police cruiser. And most cops are so obese they would crush any bicycle they tried to ride.

      Dude, you really live in a fucked up place. And I seriously think burning cars isn’t going to help. Your problems go much much deeper.

      If you live in a place where police doesn’t obide by the law, you need to rally for serious structural reforms. And for law and order, instead of doing stupid illegal shit and yelling “anarchy! ACAB!”.

      Oh, sorry, I’m talking to you like you were an actual stranger. Ofc I know you’re from the default country trying to score regular circle-jerk lemmy points.
