    🥱

    Without cops, gangbangers like this would rule society. You would be at their mercy, and it wouldn't be pretty.

    We all know you can't defend yourself.

    Mexico. CHAZ.

    Edit: I gave examples, now what?

    Does the anti-gun, anti-cop crowd ever admit when they're wrong? I know what I'd put my money on.

    It's like people can't comprehend that two things can be true at once:

    • Is this cop looking for an excuse to perform a fatal shooting? Based on his prior scandal? Most definitely.
    • Would this guy be alive still if he didn't run away from a cop? Most definitely.

    It's weird how few "gangbangers" ever wind up being caught, pursued, litigated against and how many of them cops seem to kill or claim they've killed before any substantial evidence is ever obtained.

    It's almost like they're justifying their increased budgets and surveillance even though crime has been on a steady decline (covid spike notwithstanding) for the last 50 years.

    Those same gangbangers exist in countries that don't have the same level of police shootings, and they haven't overrun the government (even though bad guys don't listen to gun laws and can buy them anywhere, as police tell me, so that can't be the case)
