> How can you think it's a "game'?

Everything seems fueled by social media radicalisation, and the social media side of things is very much 'gameified', all about scoring likes/upvotes/followers (and earning real revenue) for pushing escalating outrage.

Which is VERY different to the discussion at hand.

Is it?

Good’s wife after yelling DRIVE BABY, DRIVE DRIVE and the fallout screamed at agents “Why are you using real bullets!”

These people seem to have thought it was a game.

She was unarmed when she was killed.

A vehicle can be just as deadly as a firearm. And vehicles had previously been used aggressively by the protestors.

There were claims (no idea if true) that the agent who fired the fatal shots had been dragged down the road and injured in a previous vehicle-based altercation.

Every police agency and training in the world will clearly explain that a vehicle is absolutely considered a weapon.

A single rental truck in Nice France killed more people than any mass shooting in the USA, ever.
