I fought back during one of these and ended up with charges for "destruction of police property" somehow. Pig ripped his pants. Ignoring how that might have come to pass and my broken nose/fucked up teeth, end result was them graciously letting me go with a $500 fine. It was another cop who intervened and actually brought me in to the station, but for some mysterious reason the public defender "couldn't" get him on the stand.

Anyways it's nothing new, just preaching to the choir/venting a little. ACAB, the most disgusting betrayal of your community there is is to pick up a gun and start barking orders from behind a badge.

Put the gop-fascist-nazi cops in jail - the world will thank you

I prefer the french way. A nice clean blade.

Clean? Who said shit about clean?

It's a question of efficiency, not comfort. Slowing down the billionaire cure so you can watch is kinda icky

They don't even deserve a clean swing. Might do a few at a wrong angle or I might miss the spot...
