    How can you guys tell the difference between damage caused by tight cuffs vs. somebody spazzing out?

      I feel like that’s a false dichotomy because it implies there’s a valid reason for the government to physically hurt you. Sovcits have a few screws loose. On a bad day I might have a few screws loose. Do I deserve to be injured because I’m acting erratically? Where’s the line where it’s okay for the government to injure you on side and not okay on the other? I feel like that line is probably much closer to “actively shooting people” than “reacting poorly because they’ve lost connection with the reality of government.”
