    I’m just shocked that the NYPD didn’t kill 50% of the people arrested. Most useless bunch of assholes on planet earth.

    I say this as a NY’er and as a person whose personal experiences with them have taught me that they’re absolute trash

      Man, forget evil for a second. Every interaction I’ve ever had with the police I’ve ever had has left me feeling the ghost busters would be more effective. Just fucking pointless

                  Holy shit guys, take a breath and figure out what you’re arguing about.

                  ME5SENGER_24’s comment was technically unclear (yes I think it reads the way they intended it to, but I can see how it could be read the other way), and (des)mosthenes thought that “Most useless bunch of assholes on planet earth’” referred to the protestors, therefore thought the comment seems like it is wishing that the cops had killed 50% of them.

                  ME5SENGER_24 didn’t realise that their comment could be misconstrued, so lashes out at (des)mosthenes and calls them “fucking stupid”

                  Now they’re both all worked up, mad at each other, and not realising they are on the same fucking side. Just… Take a moment, relax, try to see why someone might be confused, and talk it through. For fucks sake…

    “Accidentally”

    There was no reason for his gun to be out of his holster. He’ll face no consequences, meanwhile if a protester accidentally fired a gun, they’d be charged with attempted murder of every single cop there.

    End qualified immunity.

      You think the protestor would be charged? That protestor would be leaving a police car, they would be lucky to even leave in a body bag instead of being scraped up into a garbage bag.

    At this point, I’m expecting another incident similar to the Kent State Massacre to take place again.
