Edit: Erdogan personally ordered guards to beat US citizens on US soil for protesting.

After meeting with Trump, Turkey's dictator President Erdogan went to his ambassador's residence. There were something like 15 protesters outside when something like 40 of Erdogan's personal security pushed past the police to go beat them up.

justified violence and violence backed by authority are the same thing

What do you mean by, "justified violence," and, "violence backed by authority?"

You're not implying, "violence to stop Nazis," is the same as, "Nazi genocide," are you?

If all violence is the same doesn't that just mean you have to look to context for broader significance?

Open-carry protests would be more appropriate.

DC Police should've been killing them. Some of them had people on the ground and were kicking them in the head. One kick to the head is enough to cause brain damage or death.

Erdogan's goons could've been beating Americans into permanent retardation and DC Police were like, "Hey... Hey..."

CIA should help Turkey's western 1/4 declare independence, join Europe. DOD should help an independent Kurdistan liberate 1/4 of Turkey.

After that, Erdogan can play Sultan in his irrelevant rump state and we'll never have to worry about him again.

it already happened twice under obama. 2014 and 2016. i don't think many people heard about it, nor would it seem to imply that anything at all will be done about it

I haven't read up on the 2014 event but the 2016 event was almost yelling-only. This is dozens of guards swarming and beating protesters. There's no comparison.

By area, Turkey is 5% European (the Balkans), 95% Asian (Anatolia) and 100% a budding Middle Eastern dictatorship.
