Is that why he smashed his cruiser into a truck at a trailer park last week, sent the truck flying, and brandished his gun at bystanders? Aw geez, no wonder then, he must’ve been just so stressed out!
- Until cops get consequences for their actions and I mean prison time they will not only continue to do this shit but get worse.
  
  My prediction is this will stay roughly the same until a major event involving someone killing or grievously wounding a cop, claiming self defense (or defense of others) , and being acquitted of any major charges. And I don't mean a no knock warrant situation where a good ole boy shoots at "intruders" just busting down the wrong door. I mean like a George Floyd case or a Daniel Shaver case. Something with a ridiculously over aggressive cop starting shit and losing.
- Looks like that's a different guy, but thanks for the reminder that they're all pieces of shit.
  
  Shit, my bad. But also, that guy’s _bad worse.
Police shouldn't have guns. Because their ultimate go to for any situation is, "so anyway I started shooting"
- If the only tool you have is a gun, everything looks like a target
- 🥱
  I hope you don't really believe this.
  
  Why does every cop need a gun to ~~protect public safety~~ case law has established they're not responsible for that....protect capital interests when police in countries like England don't?
  
  I really hope you're being sarcastic.
Regardless of any legal outcome, I wish every one of these fuckers, plus the judge who signed the warrant, has nightmares about what they did that night every time they close their eyes for as long as they live.
I know they'd have to give a shit in order to have nightmares about it, but a man can dream.
- Yeah, they don’t care. This is what they wanted to happen.
  
  I'm sure they don't even care about what happened.
  It's just a paycheck to them.

Fixed that for them.
edit: Oh yeah... I almost forgot - fuck the police.
Forget the individual cops, the whole notion of a no-knock raid needs to be jettisoned.
I am vehemently pro-union, but the police union either needs to be broken up or made to seriously reform. Protecting cops from corrupt superiors and getting them fair pay is one thing. Protecting them from the public is quite another. Unions are supposed to do the former, not the latter.
