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.

Fair enough, I agree with you.

Why don't you have the same anger towards democrats? The majority of them are just as pro cop as conservatives... I mean Biden is more pro cop than Trump so it does seem like you don't actually care about victims of police violence and just want to blame conservatives.

If you want proof just look what happened to all the BLM protests in blue states. They were met with police violence with no accountability or change just like in red states.

Biden is more pro cop than Trump

And yet...

In 2020, the FOP endorsed Trump over Democrat Joe Biden, even though Biden had often won the support of police unions when he was a U.S. senator and vice president. “The FOP is proud to endorse a candidate who calls for law and order across our nation,” FOP president Patrick Yoes wrote of Trump then.

It was a familiar sight: “The former president often takes pictures with the police who accompany his motorcade on the campaign trail, and his aides regularly share videos of the interactions on social media to highlight the officers’ support.”

And then there was the time Trump was president and stood in front of a bunch of cops and told them to rough up suspects... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eVPKpBKGCE
