    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

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

        At least you’ll get to shoot back

          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.

      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.
