[lbo-talk] Galloway: cop caller

Reproaching someone who opposing police brutality for calling the cops is the equivalent of reproaching someone who opposes unethical medical practices, like this ( http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/time-to-end-pelvic-exams-done-without-consent/article1447337), for going to an ER. There may be an argument against utilizing the armed force of the bourgeois state, but that ain't it.

Of course, this Azarmehr character seems like an absolute halfwit in more ways than one. Clicking through to his blog post, I read:

"The two women got even more excited and replied 'Oh we also support Iran against the West!' ... When I replied 'So why don't you go and live in Iran and allow two Iranian women to come here in your place and enjoy the same privileges you enjoy in the West', their initial enthusiasm was quickly turned into a shock."

With "logic" like that on the left, who needs the right?
