Another valid use is using them to cross at a crosswalk. Much more effective than those stupid orange flags.
Do NOT throw bricks at cops. Cops will literally put piles of bricks near protests to tempt stupid people to give them a reason to shoot them in the face.
Have they really? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pallets-of-bricks-protest-sites/
Most of the claims against that are tweets by police. And the police have never been caught lying, right?
"Mostly false" should be turned into "insufficient evidence" because there doesn't seem to be convincing evidence on both arguments.
Which is more likely?
(a) The police ordered seven tons of bricks to be delivered to a location where a protest might occur sometime in the near future, in the hopes that they would be thrown at them by protestors, so that they could arrest them.
(b) Construction site brick piles are a common occurrence in urban areas.
Interesting, thank you!
Calm down Karen, it is a meme
We have to be smart. Throwing bricks is stupid.
Throwing bricks is how the gay rights movement got literally anything
Rocket-propelled brick launchers, got it
Man this is lemmy whiplash. One thread judging Americans for not starting a rebellion and the next saying we shouldn't throw bricks at cops.
What do you people think rebellion is?
Exactly
Rebellion involves guns. Until we're ready for that, inflatable chicken suits are the meta.
The current battlefield is in the minds of the non-radicalized. Bricks only hurt us in that battle. Watching inflatable chickens being shot with rubber bullets helps us win.
Not very familiar with the lead up to the American Revolution are we?
Lots of things being thrown
Ok, tough guys, you win.
Now you're a tough guy(tm) when you point out hypocrisy
You've been propagandad. Throwing bricks is good
Ok, let me know how it goes.
It's funny you think I haven't already done so
How did it go?
Feels extremely good, highly reccomend

It resulted in the liberation and elevation of an entire segment of society from the darkness of repression.
From what I can tell, you used bricks to get into your own gay bar, which the police had barricaded. Good work!
They weren't there. These are feds and troll farms inciting idiotic behavior online.
Bullshit. Show me one admin who claims Lemmy has a “troll farm” problem. Only non-admins make such claims, usually ones suffering Russiagate derangement syndrome.
The closest thing to a troll farm I’ve seen so far is these several user accounts that only post news articles disparaging the US’s enemies.
Why don't you report some more of your delusions officer
Why don't you incite some more violence? Fed goon.
What violence has actually sprung from leftist internet memes? You give them way too much credit.
You know that claims of a rising tide of “far-left violence” are fake news, yeah? This bullshit narrative is pumped out by the far-right and by corporate media (otherwise known as the bourgeois press) and by NGOs who get their funding from the bourgeoisie.
Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad-jacketing
Bad-jacketing is a term for planting doubt on the authenticity of an individual's bona fides or identity. An example would be creating suspicion through spreading false rumors, manufacturing evidence, etc., that falsely portray someone in a community organization as an informant, or member of law enforcement, or guilty of malfeasance such as skimming organization funds.
Fed-jacketing, and Snitch-jacketing are variants of bad-jacketing that specifically aim to present the target as an informer.
You're not "left" you're a fed
Edit to add: It seems you’re seeing feds at every turn.
Why don't you cry more about memes. You fucking people and your pearl clutching about stupid jokes is incredible. Sign out before you give yourself hypertension, child.
"Anarchists aren't real"
~This person apparently
Probably better then clutching pearls at stupid memes

Reason: Inciting violence. Explicitly saying to mutilate another human being by throwing an actual brick at them
*Clutches pearls*
Inciting violence. Explicitly saying to mutilate another human being by sniping them out of their Merkava with an actual Ghoul rifle
They must've misunderstood something, people in this community would never advocate violence against police, who are definitely fellow human beings worthy of praise.
Exactly cause cops are certainl not one of the main things that protects the rich, the politicians and the people who bought them no.
ay dios mio
Gotta use a brick because Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun.
Jokes aside, guys I know they were human beings, but so are iof soldiers, cops aren't that bad but I think throwing bricks AS SELF DEFENSE is a little justified since Cops generally have five power to just hit and massacre people. Here in Italy they hit someone so hard he died of internal injuries. Cops aren't innocent.
lmao fr, obviously they delete the post :/
Okay, and I have to shit one out?
