    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…

            You’re a fucking moron. He was using hyperbole to express his point. If that somehow should exclude him from the conversation in your eyes, you’re the problem.

    “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.

    The governor of New Hampshire says the protesters are being 100% antisemitic and they’re disgusting, according to that article.

    Funny, though. The state.gov website clearly states being against what Isreal is doing is not antisemitism. “Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.”

      Isn’t that the definition the house just voted to change? Not sure it’ll go through the senate or not

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