    A pardoned domestic terrorist with a gun and a problem with law enforcement? What could go wrong?

    Here’s to hoping for another 1500 “justice by traffic stops.”

      I’d rather they get educated/rehabbed.

      Especially since the people with actual power and greater culpability have only gained from the constant stream of lies that led them to believe this was okay.

        America does not rehabilitate prisoners. The U.S. prison system is entirely about retribution. So that was never going to happen.

    ACA still B, though, even if in this particular case the victim was a terrorist.

    Fascists should be getting shot because they’re fascists, not because cops are violent incompetent bastards who indiscriminately murder people without consequence.

    Have none of you any empathy? What about the feelings of this cop who had to shoot one of his brothers because the cameras were on, did you think about that?

      I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it’s a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole “brotherhood” thing is performative. I’ve had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can’t wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.

        I used to regularly visit a kava bar that happened to become a hang out spot for cops and military people. Honestly they didn’t seem that bad. One guy would come in every day for a kratom we’d take shells together. He played Slay the Spire on his switch, would ask for tips cause he kinda sucked.

        Really they take easily impressionable young men and through the system mold them into something toxic. We become the roles we play. Shakespeare or something

            “slaying the spire” as in playing the video game Slay the Spire. Taking shells is lost on me, and Kava and Kratom are just legal highs/organic substances/dietary supplements/whatever it is called now.

          Maybe if they weren’t cops, yeah. But these are already people willing to murder for pretty much no reason at all. The only thing really stopping them is this stupid “brotherhood” crap which they drop in a second when the other cops aren’t around.

          So sure, maybe it’s just workplace gossip, but I know I’ve never worked in a place where I was expected to always defend my co-workers no matter how heinously they acted.

      Thanks to lifelong mental illness I only started developing more than a marginal sense of real empathy in my 30s, and it’s an extremely limited resource. So unfortunately I don’t have any to spare for the police.

      I’m still working on my natural tendancy to paint with a broad brush, which is more than I can say about the cops.

      Applies in this case without the /s. He got shot while resisting arrest while armed, odds are had he complied (and thus not resisted arrest) he probably wouldn’t have been shot.
