The shooter is a sovereign citizen.

      I see both sides. There’s a great deal of corruption, racism, and ineptitude and shit behaviour by a lot of cops that has led to a deep mistrust and dislike, and it’s valid. Do they deserve to be executed by batshit right wing conspiracy crazies? No. They deserve regulation and discipline and overhaul.

        I’d argue a good 50% deserves exactly what this guy got. I don’t feel bad for pieces of garbage (re: any cop) and don’t care what you think about it. They can all eat shit.

      Whatever you do, don’t look at the Ukrainian communities after a fresh drop of drone footage. If this makes you clutch your pearls…

          That Russian was just sitting in his trench. The cop was just sitting in his car. The Russians invaded Ukraine. The cops declared war on minorities. Sure they called it drugs, but we have Nixon on tape admitting it was about minority and liberal communities.

          Isn’t it funny that we know that now and these places haven’t taken their foot off the gas in regards to drugs and broken windows? You may choose to ignore it but large parts of our country don’t have that choice.

            How absolutely demented do you have to be to declare being a cop is analogous to Russia invading Ukraine

              I’m not the one telling them to think like an invading army and commit acts that would be a war crime if the military did it.

              Now to be clear they aren’t committing crimes at the same rate as the Russian Army who is using chemical warfare daily now, but the general comparison is a lot closer than I think many Americans are comfortable with.
