    You ever wonder why there are no videos of cops tackling and punching white supremacists during their protests?

    (It’s cause the cops are on their side.)

      There are plenty of videos of cops flashing white supremacist signs, though

        These people should be much more tightly regulated

        Why hasn’t he been identified and arrested for assault yet?

      It’d be awkward at the office the next day if they punched a coworker.

      Too many just say no they should just open carry ignoring that it would just make the cops attack even harder

          Maybe, except all the examples of cops going from zero to “shooty-mcshooty-pants” as soon as they see or suspect you have a gun.

            If it’s one person, yes. If it’s an entire crowd of people open carrying rifles, not so much.

      It’s about sides, but not about racism, I think.

      Just the profession is mostly attractive to cowards who want to fill the inner void of self-respect by violence against others (or fear). Quite similar to how people become racist.

        It’s definitely about racism. Racists are welcomed in the force. They’re just encouraged to keep it on the DL. You know, only wear the hood on the weekends.

          Racism is just one of great many things often uniting cowards.
