No bodies laying on the ground shot by men in uniforms with badges? No video of men in uniforms with badges shooting people or standing over bodies on the ground?
Perhaps, but I am awaiting evidence. I have yet to see a scientific peer reviewed and repeatable experiment which testifies to such. But you also bring up another bad and related argument with the video. If I believed those video's, then wouldn't I also be required to believe the videos depicting Harry Potter, as evidence?
Lol, here it comes. Now we're going to conflate actual evidence, including any scientific evidence that may exist for a particular claim, with testimony. Why you think peer reviewed scientific evidence is at all relevant or appropriate in the case of whether or not cops exist and shoot people is...beyond my comprehension. I mean, in terms of scientific evidence, are you talking about things like criminal forensics? Ballistics results? Blood spatter? Determination of probable murder weapons? Because...ya know...that IS actually science, lol.
But, it's a moot point with you anyhow, because we all know your next question will be, "How do we KNOW the scientists actually did the research? Did you see them performing the tests?!"
How can you NOT see how utterly vapid, desperate, and irrational such a question is, RR?
