military guards are respectful of the civilians they serve

    The comments for the brit video on :reddit-logo: were about how there were signs posted that they don't stop for anyone and if they were out of formation they could lose their jobs. Literally 'just following orders' shit for trampling a child while doing monarchy cosplay.

      oh well then that's fine, I am sure they would accept the same excuse for a Chinese tank driver conspicuously (not) running someone over

        If a hostile foreign power had armed protesters who were camping in front of Buckingham palace and were burning British soldiers alive, the tanks wouldn't have had to run over them as they would have filled them with bullets first.

          American police bulldoze protestors that live less than a mile away from them. And that's the unarmed protestors...

            Yes but that is different because it is a democratic freedom bulldozer.

      My favorite part of that thread was where people were like, "Wow, so impressive how the guards stayed in sync while trampling that child. Such discipline!"
