Why do some people say "rest in power" instead of "rest in peace?"

[ShoulderRoll]

What's that about?

[IceTrayDaGang]

it's just to show respect i guess.. to show that the person that passed was a strong person not in the sense of muscular or anything. just kinda like saying rest in paradise meaning the person will live good and happily in the after life.

Rest in power

Phrase meaning that a deceased cannot rest in peace until society changes due to the circumstances of a death.

Example: "People said rest in power for the unarmed man had been shot by the police."



Not surprised

I'm guessing it's a new one... that somebody thought was cool, for some reason
