Probably.

This guy, Long, took the life of a 10 year veteran of the police force--still a young man himself and a brand new father. This sickens and distresses me greatly. That's the part of this I understand.

Did you know that veteran (?) how do you know he hadn't abused his power. You don't you are just told to grieve for him, an we all should, there is a problem it's called "the blue wall". Until the police get rid of the blue wall YOU don't know which police officers are the ones abusing their powers. For all YOU know he killed only abusive police officers. You know nothing about them, I'm not saying go kill that is just stupid. I am saying what do you know about them?

he's saying that he's reached the point where taking up arms against an unjust state (in his view), which has murdered, oppressed, and destroyed the lives of thousands of his fellows and continues to do so with virtual impunity, is his only recourse. Petitions have failed, marches have failed, politics have failed.

He likens his struggle to the men of the American Revolution, who took up arms against an unjust state and were considered heroes for doing so.

The 3 British privates killed at Concord, Massachusetts in 1775 might have been good men with families. But they were killed all the same because they wore the uniform of the state.

I'm not saying if I agree with him or not, I'm saying I understand his argument.
