Oh really?
Because to me, they're vastly different, like a world of differences away.
What is similar is the excuses done by racists to somehow pretend we don't give a fuck about Shaver: we care. It's the same overzealous police killing people.
Remember, we want to defund the police?
Lacking integrity would be to defend the police, and then say but it also happens to white people, like this here case.
Lack of integrity would also be to try and equate those two different scenarios.
Like, a republican when you tell him that an AR15 is an assault weapon: complete meltdown. AR DOES NOT MEAN ASSAULT RIFLE, YOU IDIOT. Literally use academic terms. Is very specific about how this weapon is VASTLY different than this one because one has 16 ammunition in the magazine and the other, 18.
Republicans, discussing police brutality: these white people also got shot by the police it's the same. all lives matters. If you don't want to get shot, do what the police says.
Shaver and Floyd, same same!
Notice the subtle differences?
Black Live Matter is a lot about police accountability but you wouldn't know about it.
You're not listening to their plight.
Just, you know, white people plight. They voted for 45 for a reason, listen!
No integrity.
Like earlier when I just asked if we could stop making the forums worse by adding those 326392643247624 images posts and he just doubled down until he realized that ti could quickly get out of hand. We had to reason with him that his shit, the way he wanted them, made no sense for the good of the community.
We can argue, call each others idiot but when we start polluting posts with large images, it can get very abd very quickly.
We can have some consensus, you know.
In the end, he showed us he have some integrity.
And we have better discussions because of it.
We all have the right to believe what we believe but it is very helpful when we are honest about it and believe in things that are real.
I can believe user X and user Y are Z but unless it's grounded in reality, it doesn't matter what I think.

I said no one gives a fuck about Shaver because I was trying to emphasize that the media coverage of his incident was INCREDIBLY disproportionate to that of Floyd, which means a lot of people don't even know about Shaver. And the fact you didn't even remember his name until I literally fed it to you, reinforces this idea. Feel free to deny that too, I'm sure you had his picture and timeline on your car's bumper. Or would have, if you owned a car?
And defunding the police is a stupid idea. But I hope it happens all around you, so your dreams of a policeless utopia can come true
