"Blue Lives Matter".... no, not those ones!

it's always that way with that group.

we demand freedom! no not like that.

we support the police! no not like that.

etc.

They back the blue only when the blue is murdering unarmed black people for them.

"innocent" Jan 6 rioters. You know, those people who broke the law and participated an insurrection that led many of them to be convicted. Those "innocent" rioters.

No one should give a fuck what he wants.

I'm not a big cop fan, but the Capitol Hill police were always awesome when I was there. Patient, helpful, professional--you got to know them checking in and out of buildings all the time. I think it being a small group with a really focused and constant assignment might remove some of the crazier bullshit you might find in a bigger city department, for example. There aren't words for how shameful this is.

Can we call it fascism yet?

How about we do what I want for once. trump would not like it. Nor would he be in a position to protest.
