    Derek Chauvin was sin eater for the entirety of the police force. A sacrifice to sate the dogs. Our fascist police state was never gonna give an inch beyond that. ACAB etc.

    And the streets are empty.

    It really seems like having a Democrat as president demobilizes the masses.

      I remember Adam Johnson calling a Democrat admin a pressure release valve for US politics, and it’s a very apt metaphor

    Ok but have you considered some democrats feel really bad about it, and that this is all caused by Donald Dump not having the police arrest enough people?

      And don’t you tankies realize that the real violence is when you use the word “all” in “all cops are bastards”?

          The civility-brained libs in my life trot this one out all the goddamn time. It’s the most thought-terminating of the thought-terminating cliches. They interpret all systemic critiques as “dehumanizing,” broad generalizations. It doesn’t matter how I phrase it, I absolutely cannot get through to them.

            Chuds (and many liberals) cannot grasp that we do not believe that literally every cop is a spouse-abusing, mega-racist, wanna-be serial killer with a badge; rather, they are all in service to institutions that treat people as being worth less than property, and a system that is designed to protect and elevate the interests of the rich and elite over those of others, and THAT is why they are bastards. That many of them are abusive sociopaths only emphasizes the point, it is not the point itself.

    I am always mad at libs when they talk about harm reduction cause they can never really point to any harms that have been reduced. Cause like, even when they are better about some things they are just the same or worse on others

    It is almost like it not a Republican or Democrat problem but an American Problem.

      I think it’s more accurate to say it’s both a Republican and Democrat problem. Calling it “an American Problem” instead just mystifies the institutions that are actively perpetuating this.
