Why does anyone here give a shit? He assaulted a police officer, he is probably a hero to everyone here

We like police more than actual traitors.

Not that I agree with that dude, but this is lemmy. "We" here includes people who want to violently overthrow the government and literally kill landlords and small business owners in the name of their cause, and whether you agree with that cause or not, that does make them also traitors. Thus I posit that lemmy does not like police more than "actual traitors," they like police more than those traitors from the other side of their own. There can be more than only one treachery afoot at any given moment.

Why'd he do it?

Was he defending the unhoused or protesting an overstep of the government? Was he standing up for his voice to be heard and battling the injustice in the system?

Oh he was enforcing injustice and trying to circumvent the rule of law to instill a despot?

He probably didn't even attempt to vote did he?

Conservatives only like cops when cops are murdering unarmed black people for them.
