them like I'm watching sports highlight clips. And I'm watching the police beat up Antifa, and it looks exactly like watching a football game with tackles. And you see the highlight reel of look at this spectacular tackle. And I'm watching the same sport, except it's police also wearing protective gear just like football, also trying to control territory and space just like football. You've got fouls just like football. You've got announcers with loudspeakers just like football. You've got play-by-play. You've got highlight clips. It's a sport now.

If you tell me that's not a sport — watching the two teams with strategy and costumes and meeting at the same field every night — if you tell me that's not a sport, you're going to have to define sport a little bit more clearly. Because it's not politics. There's no politics in that. It's not crime exactly, because if it were they would all be arrested instead of just the bad apples that are doing something specifically. So if it's not exactly crime, it's certainly nothing like a social protest in any way that we can understand it. It's a sport, and I'm not going to see it any other way.

Now of course those of you who are jerks just said to yourself, "Scott, how can you treat this as a sport? People are getting killed and the police are being injured. Why do you call this a sport, Scott? How can you not take this seriously?" Well, you're just a jerk, because I am complicated enough that I can hold in my mind that it is a super tragedy and it really makes me mad when the police are injured in particular, especially with these lasers. I think the police should be able to shoot to kill anybody who has a laser, even if they're just brandishing it, even if you don't see it being used. I think the police should be able to shoot to kill. Now you might disagree, and it might be a terrible strategy because it would make the police look like a police state. It would not be good for the country, but it would be good for the police. And I'm going to say that sometimes — sometimes the citizens need to support the police. It's not just always the other way around, right? You can't be sending your troops out there in the form of the police. You can't be sending your troops out there unsupported. And if you can't let them shoot a protester who's got a laser in their hand just as if it were a handgun, if they can't shoot that guy, they ought to have the right.

So the best I can do is to say if you put me on a jury, I will sa
