police officers in the US make up less than 2% of the population, and are known to be responsible* for over 10% of the homicides - that is, not counting deaths by bleeding out in the hospital later, or literally any little detail that could be said to make the officer 'innocent'. Police steal more money and property via civil forfeiture than all robbery and burglary combined. At least half of them are domestic abusers.
these are available data! your senators know all about it, your mayor your governors & president aren't ignorant of this reality, yet they will continually demand more and more and more funding for the police. They'll also be working hard to criminalize more of what you do each day.
It's hardly the only glaring evil formally carried out by the state, at every level. Why should I ever forgive anyone who asks me for their vote? Why shouldn't I assume you just promised to kill my loved ones in front of me and torture me to death?
I don't forgive it anymore. I'm in awe that anyone still tries it after 2015. What's wrong with you? and I mean - repubs know better than to ask me for support. what's up with liberals? why are you this evil? I'm still pretty surprised by it, after all these years: the unrepentant straight-faced vileness of the american liberal. It just isn't possible that they actually see themselves as being substantively different from the magas. They model all the same behaviors and make all the same choices. They whine and self-aggrandize with every ounce as much unreasonable passion.
how can anyone who calls themself "liberal" in the USA stand to look in the mirror? or is it a malice thing and you stare into the mirror laughing wickedly? I'd like that better if that were the case, no shit
*known to be. it's probably more than that, probably a lot more
