Sure, but it’s the protesters that are dangerous. /s

Seriously, the level of callous disconnect required to do something like this goes beyond criminal. Most criminals have more conscience than this.

This is the result of Trump’s rhetoric. Stochastic terrorism. Goddamn motherfuckers.

I’m not sure if it’s true, but I’m hearing he survived.

Of course, he’s probably going to have to deal with issues from traumatic brain injury for the rest of his life.

The positive thing about this chart is that it shows that with enough pressure from public things can change. Under communist regime Polish police (Milicja Obywatelska) was extremely brutal, and eager to murder people, especially dissidents and protesters. In 1989 it was heavily reformed and especially brutal regiments (like riot-control ZOMO) were entirely disbanded. The current numbers are like that due to accountability and strict recruitment procedures.
This shows that drastic reforms and complete disbanding of entire regiments can be a right course of action. Maybe this is the way forward for US too.

The first Pride was a riot. Maybe the cops need to remember that.

Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world

Like a Colossus, and we petty men

Walk under his huge legs and peep about

To find ourselves dishonorable graves.

“ Hi James, do you have anything to say?

We published Cotton’s argument in part because we’ve committed to Times readers to provide a debate on important questions like this.
James, did you even read it?

Uh, no.
Society can only survive so many generations of elite failsons running everything. They’re stupid and lazy and immoral and dishonest and they think they’re smarter than you because of where they fucking went to high school (James went to St. Albans, you know).”
