Police unions have traditionally supported democrats. Only recently some of them have supported republicans.Why is it that the only union that the GOP supports and that supports the GOP is the union that unconditionally defends it’s members who murder, rape and molest American Citizens and has a long history of corruption?
It’s a lot easier for police and firefighters to hold taxpayers hostage than university teachers. That’s why they have bitchin pensions and you don’t, looser!This seems like I pretty common right wing trope.
My union at the university is so weak.
It's not the union messing things up there, it's the admins who's goal is to minimize the amount of the money that goes into the classroom.
FixedIt’s a lot easier for policeand firefightersto hold taxpayers hostage than university teachers. That’s why theyhave bitchin pensions andget away with murder. you don’t, looser!
Yes. My friend who does fire sprinklers rages at how the fire fighters play the hero and fear card.It’s a lot easier for police and firefighters to hold taxpayers hostage than university teachers. That’s why they have bitchin pensions and you don’t, looser!
I know you hate the excessive force but the police in America.Fixed

Jesus Christ. Summary death penalty for all arrestees.Retrain criminals not to resist arrest.
Congratulations Moron. You just won the internet. Here's your sign.Jesus Christ. Summary death penalty for all arrestees.
I disagree with everything you said here.Was anyone’s life in danger? There was no gun in the car.
cops should know the difference between black shooty gun and yellow zappy gun.
This. There's an IG "meme" floating around with a list of one-liners regarding police caused deaths such as, "he was passing a $20 bill" or "he was selling loose cigarettes". One of them was, "he fell asleep in a burger king drive thru", as if that was the sole reason that guy was killed by the police. Never mind the fact that he fought with cops and pointed a taser at them- maybe that's why he was shot?I disagree with everything you said here.
Greg Griffin is 100% correct.
I'm tired of the half-coverage.
if parents aren't going to raise their kids better, the media could at least do a better
job explaining these incidents in a way that could meaningful reduce the likelihood
of a repeat

A lot of those examples are truly shameful examples of police misconduct and speak to real systemic issues, but swapping out relevant facts like that does the movement a disservice.
exactly. You’ve got a leg up on the situation.I tell my kids that once the cops are there, you're done.
yes, sir. no, sir....do not make things worse.
at that point you are respectful and quiet; we sort it out LATER.
I have gotten OUT of more trouble by treating the cop respectfully than not.
this is the real white male privilege....
