    I always preferred the version change up on Live at the Grand Olympic:

    Some of those that burn crosses

    Are the same that hold office

    If any cops or cop apologists wanna disagree with this: show me a good cop who arrested an ICE. Because ICE is breaking the law, and as far as I can tell, nobody’s arresting them.

      I saw them pulling over tons of people last night on the way home. Ensuring they get their monthly income early, I guess. Or just a need for harassment.

      In one instance, it awkwardly caused the 70mph to slow quickly to 30 in one lane. Super safe. So glad they are causing those traffic flow issues for … safety?

      The handful of decent cops in the uk and europe: “Am i joke to you?”

      Obviously they still have plenty of incorporated rot but some countries actually train police to de-escalate and are held to standards.

      It also helps that gun violence is exceedingly rare when guns are regulated well. Having to fire a bullet can be a legal a nightmare for a cop because of the paperwork and immediate investigation into wether it was appropriate for them to do so.

        Cops in the USA, as well as being scum, are terrified. The population has almost no access to mental health care, near unlimited access to guns, and many reasons to not trust the police. The police are also trained as “warriors” instead of guardians with a us vs them mentality. I’d imagine besides the legal ramifications, Uk and Eu police are just not as scared shitless and therefore don’t start popping off when an acorn hits their car or a 13 year old has a stick.

        Respect the player hate the game, unless the player is just another narcissistic bigot. I often like to make the distinction between my opinion on the system and that of individual human beings in said system. I may say “fuck the police” but also have respect towards a polite police officer that believes he’s doing a good thing.
