somethin tells me we wont see involuntary manslaughter charges despite the guy being in their 'custody'

if theres one thing cops dont want to do, its take responsibility for their own actions.

- And even when they get "disciplined," they are put on leave with pay. Or if they get "fired" from that PD, they'll just get transferred over to another low-key PD. Let alone the millions of dollars the Police Union uses to protect these pigs.
- They need malpractice insurance like docs, if fuckups come out of their pocket instead of the city…every fuckup in the dept would be gone in a day.
- Just like AMAA; All Motorcyclists Are Assholes.
Wow, didn't even give enough time for the GOP to look up his arrest record, drug history, NOTHING. Is it even due process if the right doesn't explain why he should die first?
- Are you a bot designed to start inflammatory discussion? Because I see no police apologists.. yet.
  
  Not that it won't happen, it will, but.. why preemptively cause friction? Makes me suspicious of your account when you are posting "right bad" before they even showed up. Weird.
  
  That said, your point is valid, but to me it's also shouting, "I'm a bot here to catalyze disagreements and derail into partisan bickering!"
  
  I suppose there is also a chance a comment was removed? Idk. But I do know 100% that rich folks invest in "division" bots, it makes perfect sense from a chaotic evil PoV.
  
  I'm not a bot. I insight inflammatory discussions because calling out the right for their lack of humanity is low hanging fruit. I do it because silence is acceptance and I do not accept their bullshit.
  
  Are you a bot designed to start imflammatory discussion?
  
  Because their post has some upvotes and nobody has started any inflammatory discussion on their post other than you accusing them of being a bot.
  
  Except that's not at all what the commentor did. Seems you're stirring up bs for no real reason other than to stir up bs.
  
  Are you incapable of detecting sarcasm?
  
  the topic itself is inflammatory because its death meted out arbitrarily by police without process or threat.
  
  What division? That is literally what the GOP does when the police kill someone.
  
  How about we have ourselves a pig fry? Fry a couple of pigs, in front of their brothers and sisters—it would be so great! I’m hungry, are you?
How unfortunate, anyway, here's your paid vacation.
I think it's absolutely wild how little the US police seems to be held accountable. I mean, can you even imagine living in a country were the police shooting at all is already a headline?
