    Let’s not pretend most cops don’t say this internally. We’re supposed to be surprised because these got caught?

    As for the pictures… also nothing new that the military or literally any other mayor special force haven’t done before.

      All badges are dishonorable until proven otherwise with action. Honor is for individuals.

              Oh God. I had just quit my job before the pandemic so I ended up watching all those live streams. Also I’m on the East Coast so I was up till like 4am. Regardless of the political side anyone I knew talking about the protests would just say stupid shit the news spun. Like I’d see it live and they would try to tell me what happened.

              Two wild things I remember aside from the regular protest area…

              Someone tossing a Molotov… But it didn’t go far enough and some kids’ shoes caught fire.

              The scared army fatigued gun range owner that was tossing pipe bombs at kids in the park, then ran away.

              Also in Atlanta a group of crips ran up on another gang in the area while people were protesting near Wendy’s. A young girl got shot in the leg next to the streaming.

              Kids = 16-35yo

              I’m not saying this to deter protesting. I mean these things weren’t a part of the regular protest anyway.

              Also… It was clearly gang oriented looting. Away from the protests and smashing what was most likely jacked cars into the front of stores.

              People are so naive and stupid. America is HEAVY with real authentic crime but people want to blame blacks and gays that are just trying to live. Like goddamn only 60% average for nationwide murders solved. People have a 40% chance to murder and stay free. America’s fucked.

        When it does get said, I’m sure it’s reported by their honorable peers and appropriate disciplinary action is taken. Right? Right?

        Go lick boots

    Thank God they’re exempt from any gun control laws, and that defending yourself against these sweet angels in blue carries a massive mandatory sentence! You wouldn’t want some sadistic fucks go around hurting people then having the legal system protect them!! Oh, wait…

    How do you think these people came to believe that they could repeatedly brag to police about breaking the law without any consequences?

    That’s where the A in ACAB comes in. For every crooked cop there are dozens that looked the other way as he hurt and killed people who didn’t do anything wrong.

    I did something different this time,” he wrote, “as purcy was on the bite, i pulled back his harness which i think helped with the bite.” After one characteristically bloody encounter, a colleague responded with concern over an apparent cut on the dog’s muzzle. Amiri responded: “That’s a piece of the suspect’s flesh lol.”

    This is just utterly evil and sad.

          It’s similar to their unironic use of “by your bootstraps.”

          That idiom was originally coined to indicate something that is impossible to have happened as claimed. Supposedly the story goes that there was once a general that would tell tons of tall tales and embellish his actions at every opportunity, and one time he recounted that he had fallen into a hole he couldn’t climb out of, so he claims that he simply pulled himself out by his bootstraps. It literally violates Newton’s third law.

          So telling millenials or gen-z to “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” literally means the opposite of what they think it means. Either that or it’s extremely subtle anticapitalist commentary, pointing out the fact that it’s damn near impossible for the young generation to succeed under our current capitalist system, that’s totally what boomers mean when they use that term right?

            Not just impossible, but obviously impossible. I don’t see how anyone fails to notice how ridiculous the idea is, and yet they do all the time.

              Repeating a lie gives it traction. We have electron microscopes and rovers on Mars, yet somehow still also people who think a sky fairy cooked the whole flat planet up 6000 years ago.

              This is why we need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and expand it to the web space, allowing so many charlatans to scream their nonsense over and over has an effect on people. That’s why the rich cunts pour so much money into it

    Look at the Broski’s. Haha they look like your average date raping college bro from the 00s.

    The one on the left looks like he has some ex’s in the basement.

    The part of this that I find most interesting is that the city is defending their behavior while the acting police chief all but threw them under the bus.
