The shooter is a sovereign citizen.
Fucking hell that title. Made me think a police officer shot two other police officers.
That comma is working hard.
I had to read that title several times.
Probably because it’s hiding under that apostrophe
Is it not grammatically correct? Like I almost missed it under the apostrophe too but that’s how you’re supposed to do it
I wish.
I bet the officer reached towards his waistband or glovebox. He thought he had something in his hand. The officer was acting suspicious. The officer had a history of crime, a runin with the law when he was 12.The sovcit felt threatened and had to defend himself! Those are the talking points, right?
The SovCits have
qualified immunityno contract with the government and thus are not subject to laws.Can you really trust anyone who interacts with criminals on a daily basis?
Imagine celebrating the death of a human being, knowing that their family’s lives are forever changed-
And feeling good about yourself.
Stay classy lemmy.
Sovereign citizen kills sovereign citizen.
Was the Cop on Drugs? Was he wearing a Hoodie? Did he smoke a Joint once? Was he Sleeping? ALL these things are Things Cops have Killed people over so it’s safe to Assume these are Dangerous Activities that REQUIRE violent intervention!
I feel as bad for this guy as cops do for George Floyd.
When SovCits stop being funny.
I despise cops for obvious reasons but I honestly don’t think anyone gets paid enough to deal with sovcits.
When did this happen again?

I missed the part where fighting among two groups of belligerent assholes who think they’re above the law isn’t funny.

I would say that most people with empathy do not find humor in double homicide.
Dallas police can murder people legally. I don’t have empathy for roving gangs of state-sanctioned murderers.
That’s the sort of non-empathic “some people deserve to die” attitude that keeps the death penalty around.
Empathy for rapists and murderers is NOT the reason I’m against the death penalty.

Yeah one step onto YouTube informed me of their violent bullshit.
Domestic terrorism
Yeah, it’s not surprising that people see the police as terrorists and are starting to take their city back.
This post has brought out the worst of Lemmy. At least I can find respite in the fact that those glorifying this are merely edgelord keyboard warriors and have absolutely no measurable impact on the real world.
A lot of people can’t see past their hate.
I’m sure Genevive Dawes learned to see past whatever hate she had after she fucking died at the hands of a Dallas police officer who had been internally investigated ten times and then was acquitted for the sole fact that he murdered her while being a cop. I’ll bet it’s hard to hate someone when your mother is burying you in the ground because this Alex Jones’ inbred cousin-looking motherfucker wasn’t put in jail after ten documented cases of physically abusing civilians.
Unless you’re suggesting that this man was involved in that situation, there’s room to feel sympathy for both murder victims. I know I do.
This man was a teacher and coach for 16 years who only recently became a police officer, and now he’s gone. If your first reaction to this news isn’t sadness, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Unless you’re suggesting that this man was involved in that situation, there’s room to feel sympathy for both murder victims.
This cop is either one of the ones committing atrocities, or one of the ones that stand by, hold the “thin blue line”, and enable the ones committing atrocities.
ACAB has no exceptions.
Did you just ignore the second paragraph?
You know that there ARE some who get into that for every correct reason?
Wow why are you so hateful, can’t you love these fine people?
Cops? No, never.
I do tend to hate people who do violence for a living. Do you not?
“Our officers were targeted for nothing more than the uniform they wear and for the brave and honorable job that they do,”
So brave when police victimize minorities, murder innocent people, and are a threat to public safety.
Fuck SovCits, but nothing of value was lost.
Dirty cops belong in jail, not to be executed in the streets.
Vengeance is not justice.
All cops are dirty.
And I’d agree that execution isn’t the preferred method of dealing with the problem. But it’s happened now, so oh well.
Okay put it this way then. The actively dirty ones go to prison, the passively dirty ones get fired.
Look no more cops and we avoided the reign of terror.
I’d gladly take a non-lethal outcome, but I didn’t decide this act and I had zero influence on it.
I’m not going to lose sleep over it either tho mind you.
That’s really all I’m trying to avoid. This country is going to blow it’s top off if we keep treating the people as an exploitable resource. I just don’t want to deal with a reign of terror.
There’s an article on the front page right now about how a cop who raped his daughters was given custody and the mother imprisoned for refusing court mandated Christian reunification therapy.
Cops don’t have consequences
No. That’s the proposal. I know they aren’t facing consequences right now.
The actively dirty ones go to prison
No they don’t, and they never will if we keep perpetuating this ridiculous pearl-clutching, cop-venerating bullshit where calling them out for what they are – a state-sanctioned gang – is stigmatized.
That’s the point. I want the dirty ones in prison.
Complacency and indifference in the face of injustice begets further injustice. It’s hypocritical to then claim to seek justice.
I don’t want “justice”, I don’t want cops.
I want to protect lives and make the world a better place.
Oh and during war, armed resistance is morally fine.
yet, you seem tolerant of murder and vengeance. so, you would appear to only want to protect certain lives and make the world a better place for some. and who would be the one to decide who benefits from this “better world”? you?
Yes I accept people die during war. It happens.
not really sure where dying during war comes into play when discussing this murder of police officers…
i think you replied to the wrong comment
We have neither. All rights are won through violence.
Historically inaccurate
And what rights do you not have now that you believe you will win by murdering police?
Strawman
why? because you don’t have a snappy answer? no anarchist slogan in your pocket you can throw back?
Lol pound sand
nah, you’ve already gone low enough, what, with the cheering murder and all…
I can’t remember where I saw it, because it has been years, but a bunch of the Sovcits were passing a video of a man, that state police pulled over, threatening that if they didn’t just leave, he was going to start a gun fight. So they left. They were all sharing it around, claiming victory, sucking each other off. Then, like a year or so later, a news article came out where they decided to watch the guy closely. Instead of just arresting him, they collected a bunch of criminal infractions to charge him with. Then, when he was coming out of some store, or restaurant, or whatever, they ambushed him and took him in.
Long story short, he had CP. Possibly was paying an underage girl for sex. ALL the sovcit hang-outs were immediately perma-banning anyone who posted it.
Like, I passionately despise the legal industry here. From the cops to the legislators. However, all they have done is make it so cops assume anyone, who doesn’t immediately start sucking them off, is a sovcit. This makes them even more likely to be violent, and they do everything they can to make sure anyone that doesn’t listen to their unlawful BS, is associated with that movement.
Maybe it had something to do with the “justice” system finding that Breonna Taylor was “actually killed by her boyfriend.”
I know that made me really angry, I can only imagine how others might have felt.
Look, it’s bad enough as it is, but you don’t have to lie on the quote. It never said that in the article.
U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson’s ruling declared that the actions of Taylor’s boyfriend, who fired a shot at police the night of the raid, were the legal cause of her death, not a bad warrant.
That’s the quote. I didn’t lie, I shortened it.
You used quotes. That’s for repeating what someone said verbatim. And “the legal cause ofnher death” is very different than she was killed by the boyfriend.
Very unlikey. Apparently it was a “sovereign citizen”
They had so many dogs left to kill, taken before their prime.

I see both sides. There’s a great deal of corruption, racism, and ineptitude and shit behaviour by a lot of cops that has led to a deep mistrust and dislike, and it’s valid. Do they deserve to be executed by batshit right wing conspiracy crazies? No. They deserve regulation and discipline and overhaul.
I’d argue a good 50% deserves exactly what this guy got. I don’t feel bad for pieces of garbage (re: any cop) and don’t care what you think about it. They can all eat shit.

Whatever you do, don’t look at the Ukrainian communities after a fresh drop of drone footage. If this makes you clutch your pearls…

That Russian was just sitting in his trench. The cop was just sitting in his car. The Russians invaded Ukraine. The cops declared war on minorities. Sure they called it drugs, but we have Nixon on tape admitting it was about minority and liberal communities.
Isn’t it funny that we know that now and these places haven’t taken their foot off the gas in regards to drugs and broken windows? You may choose to ignore it but large parts of our country don’t have that choice.
How absolutely demented do you have to be to declare being a cop is analogous to Russia invading Ukraine
I’m not the one telling them to think like an invading army and commit acts that would be a war crime if the military did it.
Now to be clear they aren’t committing crimes at the same rate as the Russian Army who is using chemical warfare daily now, but the general comparison is a lot closer than I think many Americans are comfortable with.
Live by the sword.
