Oh get off it. Sometimes a fucking video of police brutality is a fucking video of police brutality.

Exactly, and that poster knows what they're doing, and it's not a quest for any truth. A form of gaslighting and covering up Israel's well established apartheid now outright genocide.

They do know what they are doing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

Thanks for the link! Sealioning more succinctly describes what i was getting at with that poster.

Thats a new one.

The issue is that I'm not after Indepth analysis and mountains if information - im after the bare basics you would expect from journalists.

Yes, poor you, we are harassing you for just asking questions about just the basics.

Rhetorically, sealioning fuses persistent questioning—often about basic information, information easily found elsewhere, or unrelated or tangential points—with a loudly-insisted-upon commitment to reasonable debate. It disguises itself as a sincere attempt to learn and communicate. Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable. While the questions of the "sea lion" may seem innocent, they're intended maliciously and have harmful consequences. — Amy Johnson, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (May 2019) [6]

Fuck off, troll.

Well let's start with the first question - is this the police, is it the Israeli police, and how do you know?

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I think it's leprechauns.

Take your sealioning elsewhere.

At least a shamrock and little green hat would tell us something

It takes literally 1 googling for "Israeli military police" to verify that the uniforms and gear are the same. There are multiple signs in Arabic and at least one in Hebrew.

You can choose to keep pretending this is not painfully obvious but this is the last I'm responding to your sealioning trolling.
