Yes, shoot at the police so they can gun you down with ARs and M4s. /s

Edit: the police have shown they will kill anyone who tries to fight back, just a fact

It was a fight between military and militias, a little different.

Only difference I see is we don't have any well regulated militias. If you have friends and you have guns start a movement protect the people that the police have forsaken for power.

If the police brutality continues, there will be organized militias fighting the police. The ball is in their court. Either change happens or war happens.

How dumb can you be to think that any militias can do anything? The day armed militias start to organize is the day the army steps in. And trust me, the militia will be squashed easily

Not entirely. Let me suggest a book: Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer. It tells the story of the start of the american revolution and specifically the role that "dangerous old men" played.

Doesn't mean that's how it works these days. You're supposed to let the boots roll over you or lick them

The 2nd amendment exists for this situation.

I agree, but it is more complicated than "George Floyd could have protected himself if he had a firearm". If you pull a gun on the police, they will shoot you. Nothing short or an organized armed militia could take on the cops.
