You don't have to. I get it. I fucking hate cops. But I have empathy both for kids who lose parents from police murder and for those who lose their parents who died on active duty.
In general I feel like they're better off. I wouldn't exactly cry if a KKK member or a wife beater died and left their kids behind, but then I repeat myself.
They're threatening a different kid who's trying to offer these kids some comfort in a moment of extreme trauma nobody should have to deal with at a young age.
I just think we're letting our hatred of police become toxic to the point that we're being cold to those who don't deserve it. If we want to get anyone to the right of us onboard, shit like this won't help. Focus on the racist cops and their actions.
Let's be real--this is probably fake just like all the cops who get stuff in their drinks at Starbucks or their shakes poisoned at Shake Shack. They have such a fucking persecution complex that they have to make up shit like this.
Suppose they made this up to paint leftists as evil people who threaten children... That's bait. They want us to double down and be more evil towards children.
I don't really feel like continuing the discussion and I think I've said everything I wanted to say about it. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, comrade.
Nah this is dumb masculine trying to control the conversation shit dressed up in trying to appear enlightened and peaceable. Which, honestly, if you don't agree with me fine but this "do whatever you want" shit isn't cutting it.
Yeah I agree, 'do whatever you want' was a dick thing to say. I was frustrated and didn't want to keep talking about it. That's why I told you to have a nice day. I wasn't trying to play some masculine to enlightened mind game. Just trying to end on a positive note, but it doesn't seem like you're interested in that so why don't we just call it a day?
I don't think you were trying to do it, but it's a common silencing tactic with men. I get shut down by dudes when they're done talking, and instead of saying that they want to leave it, they pull this "have a nice day" thing, when it's clearly very passive aggressive.
I don't think we're at a productive point either, so I agree we should just leave it, but be aware of that. I think it's valuable to realize.

You might be right. I still feel bad for the kids.
No one's threatening the kids though. I get you feel bad but it's like you're feeling bad by association.

Yeah it probably is. But in that case why feed it the energy they want from us?
What energy do they want from us?

They're just trying to look like victims.
Alright man, do whatever you want.
I didn't realize that was up for debate?
I hope you have a nice day
??

I feel like I'd have a better day if I didn't have this weird interaction ending with a hippie plea to civility or whatever.
If that "weird" interaction is affecting your day it's propbably time to log off for a while. I was just trying not to be a dick for no reason.
