It's not just today, even his contemporaries kinda sucked and mostly didn't like him.

Good news! COVID is still going strong, there's time!

...Wait that is not good news.

Dude was black and he just knew that mob would who aggro onto him instead of the representatives because of that. (I mean, they did, didn't they?)

Maybe it's different for Capitol Police, but for most cops being a decoy isn't a part of their job description. In that moment, he wasn't acting as a cop. He was acting as a hero.

If the backlash is the scary imagine how frightening the presidency would be. Fucking cowards.

So the dude took part in an insurrection where they brought a gallows to the Capitol and said they were going to hang Democrats until Trump got declared the winner. Now he's got Christmas ornaments in the same vein.

Do i still have to pretend like their conspiracy theories about antifa or whatever are reasonable theories? Like, can we admit these dudes are fascist revolutionaries who want to destroy democracy? It'd be nice to just be honest about it, right?

This might be a "hey if you think getting an actual diagnosis is going to cause problems let us know so we don't do that".

It is legal to carry any amount of cash in the US, as far as i'm aware. The main risk is that the cops will just steal it from you and then there's no realistic recourse.

It was definitely friendly fire. Cops are fucking awful at containing collateral damage.

Go look at how often they shoot random bystanders, animals, whenever. Now: Who's going to be in that line of fire more than anyone else? That's right! Other cops.

(Edit)

Oh yeah from lower in the thread, it was friendly fire: https://www.npr.org/2023/03/11/1162843992/cop-city-atlanta-activist-autopsy

It's absolutely incredible that people are such bootlickers for billionaire projects that they'll see this tremendous slam dunk and then go to the comments trying to defend the person who just got dunked. Like, seriously, you really think that's going to convince people?!
