"Obey orders or I'll kill you," is a robbery.

And if one person commits a murder during a robbery, they're not only still considered guilty of murder but so are their accomplices who created the situation.

​

I know you openly want a police state, but you're in favor of crime so it's not even a proper police state.

>(how cautious varies from police department to police department, as well as far more care taken by EMTs)

In my experience police cars will turn on their sirens as they enter an intersection without slowing down at all, even though they didn't have them on in the first place any immediately turn them off afterwards, because they think that's legal and if it's legal there's no reason not to do it. Kind of surprising I've never seen one get T-boned.

Also in my experience ambulances do not do that.

The ambulance has to slow down and check because they can't assume drivers on a different road entirely have already noticed them--they'd be driving into traffic fairly often if they did.

But those drivers on the other road do stop once they've noticed. "Would otherwise be unlawful." So... it's not unlawful in this situation, then. That's a change to right of way.

If everyone leaves room to move over, stopped traffic takes up the entire road anyway and the ambulance can never get through.

You think multiple lanes of traffic can all fit in the shoulder, which is generally smaller than one of the lanes? It's not physically possible--and that's where there is a shoulder at all.

And still not helpful at all for cars stopped at a red light who have nowhere to go. Cars can't just move sideways, they always have to go forwards unless they're moving backwards.

If you're approaching the intersection, drivers on the perpendicular road can't see or hear you at all yet. You're not on the same road. They can't react until after you get there.

That was the plain, unembellished description. The biased one was "riot."

I don't have to justify a plain, factual description. It's literally just what happened. I would never say they are "on par" with terrorists--they are literally, objectively, actual terrorists. It's only wild because the truth is wild, and that is most certainly not my fault.

You are not entitled to your own facts. You may not disagree with the facts. There are no alternative facts. These facts do not care about your feelings. Etc.

They call it a "riot" when people protest because murder is bad.

They call it a "riot" when a different group of people launch a terrorist attack against their own nation in an attempt to destroy said nation so that they can install as dictator the con artist in clown makeup that their death cult worships as a plague avatar.

Maybe those two things shouldn't use the same word--especially since neither is actually a riot anyway.
