    I’ve seen people saying this a lot, but the subtext seems to have been overlooked. They’re going to do it anyway, they don’t need an excuse, they’re cops, and they’ll simply manufacture a reason to escalate if people don’t give them one.

      I think the important thing here is to allow them to manufacture that reason so everyone on the world stage (and the rest of the country) can clearly see it’s bullshit. Then it’s game on.

      Bullies push and push and push because they want you to take the first swing, then claim you started it.

        So while we wait for them to manufacture that, we let them keep murdering us? Fuck outta here.

        Most bullies are cowards who will retreat when their victim fights back. You see most of those ICE shitstains scatter like roaches when the shots rang out? They’re cowards, 95% of them
