What a mess of a thread.
A couple of things to note:
-This is a human rights issue. An unarmed man was very clearly visibly harmed by police, the autopsy doesn't support that he was done in by drugs or whatever. Even if it did, the officer's aggression was INCREDIBLY excessive and disgustingly violent. And he got away with it, too. It took way too long for him to actually be tried and that was after rioting
Obviously looting is bad, but a fully armed cop murdering an unarmed man with his 3 other cop buddies is a lot worse.
-Yes, rioters have killed some police officers. There are a total of 11 known people killed in relation to protests, I believe only two of them are police. While this is obviously bad and the people responsible should be tried, there is a significant difference in power between citizens and police. Police are in full riot gear and are using very harmful weapons such as rubber bullets and tear gas that affect not only the rioters but everyone in the general area. They are also trained and have armored trucks and shit. They're decked out. Rioters are mostly unarmed. So in the end, mostly rioters will be harmed by excessive force from police (MANY videos show this happening). Rioters (including peaceful protesters) will be arrested and harmed much more often than police will. This is proven by arrest statistics, but it's also just common logic. Obviously police will be safer when they are decked the fuck out.
-Jogger is a racist dogwhistle. If you don't wanna get moderated, just don't use it.
-Bail funds are not political. You could argue it could help bail out violent rioters, but that's not the intent of Mangadex. MD linked the donation sites because they know donating there has got to help at least one innocent person (again, we have lots of footage of peaceful protesters being assaulted/arrested by police). Even if donating there did help some rioters, it's a basic american philosophy that it's better to let guilty people go free than to punish even a single innocent. So no, what MD is doing is not political nor is it taking a stance. They just want to help people who were wrongfully arrested
If you don't want to hear about this all the time, well sorry but there's not much anyone can do about it. It isn't a political thing, a man was murdered and lost his life. That is very serious, you shouldn't be surprised at all that it's a big deal and is being talked about everywhere.
Nobody is forcing you to look at posts or things related to this, so there's no real reason to complain. Obviously it can get annoying, but everyone deals with stuff like this online. Everybody constantly runs into things they don't like, dealing with that is a more personal thing and has to do with maturity.
I think MangaDex has handled this well, I'm sure they didn't really want to make this post but it's kinda an elephant in the room i guess
