No Roscoe, you are either not understanding my point or deliberately trying to twist things.
I'm not equating a dead cat and a policeman being ambushed and attacked. Any violence against the police is completely unacceptable.
A "dead cat strategy" is used in politics to divert attention away from a subject that is uncomfortable or a politician doesn't want to discuss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_cat_strategy
There are certain posters using the dead cat strategy all over this thread, because they cannot accept the uncomfortable reality of Britain's imperial past - which includes racism, race superiority, forced labour, slavery, stealing resources, torture and mass murders.
