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
They’re bullies with badges, that only stop playing on their phone long enough to harass a POC.
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
NYPD compete with LAPD and police gangs in LA to see who can be the greater fascists.
"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.
Sorry, your honor, my client is just a little overeager.
Probably an ND
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."

The governor of NH is a moron and should not be listened to.
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.
