re: #302 Testy Toad T

You seriously don’t think this is not hyperbole? Not even a little?

A trash can will fall over and police will “start spraying bullets”? Just like that?

For fuck’s sake. I’m out of here.

Props to TTT for calling it out.

Pre-supposing every cop has an itchy trigger finger and is just waiting to go off on the general public is just as shitty as any other pre-judgement based on a job/quality/etc., and I wish folks would remember that a bit more, even when we are seeing some examples of bad cops.

There are shitty cops. There are some places where there are a lot of shitty cops. But I don’t think that there are so few good cops that someone knocks over a trash can and whoops, 100 citizens are dead.

If I end up being wrong you can say “I told you so” and fine, but in the meantime let’s use a finer brush and less inflammatory language, yes?
