      maybe you should post it as a separate meme since people are crying about whataboutism. I hadn’t heard of this one actually.

      24 downvotes telling me actually this never happened.

      Also, nobody talk about Grenada in 1983. Or Iran Air Flight 655. Or the MOVE bombing in 1985. Or the police response to the LA Riots. Or the police response to the Iraq War protests. Or the police response to OWS protests. Or the police response to BLM protests. Or the police response to the campus protests in defense of Palestine.

      That’s Whataboutism.

      You can’t just talk about ACAB or discuss the broad problems of a heavily armed carceral state looking for heads to crack. Only Foreign Countries are Bad.
