    i just think it’s kinda weird to take a post that includes a story about police shooting at medics and be like “lol the ringer,” like, ok lol. the fact you’re flying private to vegas to see britney’s residency rn and not in the streets is appalling

    If you asked me to choose between police violence and having insight into ur writers process uhhhhhhh

    ..I do think it’s curious, per @JMG, that ur time stamps between posting before after going out are like ~two hours last night. It’s satisfying to know u likely headed to the protest with all our rebuttals fresh in ur mind “yes this will show them!!!”

    So how much of America has this actually affected? Obviously Minneapolis but are other States rioting and looting?

    ...and again, I don't understand what your point is. I've said numerous times that no one is surprised by cops acting like this, that's why everyone is out there in the first place. The point is that cops should not be allowed to do this, no one is debating whether or not they will at this moment in time.

    Do you think it's just and necessary for cops to g--- up with 10 of their goons and beat the s--- out of someone because they stood on a cop car?

    I don't think it's right, but when the situation escalated as in riots people in uniforms lost their composure too. It's just madness on both ends right now (once again not all before someone accuse me of saying all protesters).

    so cops can beat the s--- out of/run over/s---t and k--- civilians when they “lose their composure” but when cops do it’s understandable? got it

    If someone's ego is so fragile that they lose their composure because someone stood on their car or called them a stupid pig then they probably shouldn't hold a position that requires them to protect and serve the community. :kanye3:

    Yeah, insult people and then expect them to care about serving and protecting your a---. They are not robots.

    That's not how being a cop works, they're sworn to protect and serve everyone in the community. Insulting someone isn't a crime.

    1. you’re wrong
    2. even if you were right, the cops are beating people who are simply yelling in the street

    So let's say some white person comes to a black cop and throws racial slurs at him. Do you think it's right then or not?
