CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Come back to earth. The mob at the Capitol on Jan. 6th injured 140 police officers. AI overview:
Approximately 140 police officers were injured during the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, with at least 15 requiring hospitalization, while the exact number of injured rioters is unknown. Among the officers' injuries were traumatic brain injuries, cracked ribs, and a loss of an eye. While the official number of reported police injuries was 140, some sources suggest this number may be an undercount of all physically injured officers.
Some on the right need to get out of their conspiracies and ..untruths. From an officer who was in the midst of it all:
Pingeon recalls his team being outnumbered and says he was punched in the face by rioters who had descended on the Capitol that day to protest the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, fueled by false claims about election fraud spread by Former President Donald Trump.
"I was knocked on my back," Pingeon said. "My helmet came down and felt like someone was on top of me and I couldn't see anything. And I remember just thinking, I have to protect my gun, because they stole my baton."
Pingeon wasn't injured as severely as other officers, but he has invisible scars that may never fully heal.
From another officer:
Police officer who survived Jan. 6 has a warning for the country • Wisconsin Examiner
Injured in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack, former police officer Michael Fanone warns people about what happened that day.
wisconsinexaminer.com
A group of officers, mostly from the D.C. department, were holed up in the tunnel after they were overrun by rioters while in the Capitol itself. Injured cops had sequestered themselves in some adjacent tunnels, and fellow officers were trying to help them “because we couldn’t get paramedics or any type of medical assistance into the building, because it wasn’t secure at that point,” Fanone told the Wisconsin Examiner.
Had the crowd of rioters swarming outside the tunnel managed to break through the defending line of cops, “we would have been trampled to death,” he said.
Fanone told the committee that some in the crowd were “trying to grab hold of my gun.” He heard some shout “kill him with his own gun,” he testified. “I believe there were individuals in that crowd who intended to kill me.”
Rioters seized Fanone, dragging him down the steps of the Capitol. They beat him with pipes, stunned him with a Taser and sprayed him with bear spray, he recalled. In the midst of the assault he had a heart attack, and he got a concussion from the blows to his head. In a broadcast months later CNN aired footage of the assault on Fanone from his own body camera.

On Jan. 6, 2021, it was a crime scene - the site of a bloody, hourslong struggle between law enforcement and a mob of supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.
"My fellow officers and I were punched, kicked, shoved, sprayed with chemical irritants by a violent mob," Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell testified to Congress about his experience in the tunnel on Jan. 6. "I could feel myself losing oxygen and recall thinking to myself: 'this is how I'm going to die - defending this entrance.'"
Ashli Babbitt and her fellow rioters broke windows to get in The police told them to stop and they did not stop. That is criminal. Ashli and her fellow mob members are criminals. Her own actions led to her death.
Stop with the false stories like in your post. They were not innocent little kids.

I suppose you could waste all of our time doing that.
I supported Israel's right to defend itself and respond. It's how they have responded that I find obejctionable. From the 5000lb bombs dropped on apartement buidlings and hospitals to the current event of attacking an hosptal - not once, but twice -with the 2nd attack occuring 9 minutes after the intial attack. By then first responders and journalist were at the sight....and killled.
That is unacceptable targeting.
Video: Videos Contradict Israel’s Rationale for Deadly Hospital Attack
The strikes on Nasser Hospital in Gaza killed at least 20 people. A Times visual analysis calls into question what the Israeli military was initially targeting there, and why its troops attacked a second time, killing first responders and journalists.

You do not have data for that so you are spreading an ...untruth, or a purely biased opinion that is unsupported. The article you posted speaks of 5 shooters in 7 years. It does NOT show that within the trans community that the number of shootings is high. You should back that up with a study or admit your statement is wrong.The transgender population is only a tiny percentage of the overall population yet within the tiny transgender population the number of mass shootings is indeed high. This was not an isolated incident:
These are all the mass shootings committed by trans people in the US
The latest case occurred on Wednesday at a Catholic Church and school in Minneapolis.thepostmillennial.com
Data from research does show that transgender individuals are four times as likely to suffer violent victimization than cisgender people. Plus families with a transgender member are more likely to suffer from property violence.
Everytown Research - EveryStat
Although the impact of gun violence is felt throughout the United States, its contours vary widely by state, county, race and ethnicity, gender, and intent. EveryStat for Gun Safety was designed for users to better understand how gun violence impacts the communities they care about.
Your attempt to make out that transpeople commit a high percentage of shootings is just bigotry and hate.
