It still boggles my mind that how much easier the job of being a cop would be if there wasn’t this much firepower available to anyone the age of 18 in Texas. It’s like what they currently do, but without the fear of knowing you’re likely outgunned in many situations.

Well they treated those parents pretty atrociously for simply wanting somebody to do something for their kids.  Imagine living in that town knowing about how these cops will let your kids die.  Yeesh.

Nothing changed after congressional member Gabrielle Gifford was shot in the head. This is a violent country, born and raised in violence. This culture is saturated in violent images and stories. This country runs on sex and violence.

To all the “we need law enforcement” types who don’t understand what is meant by “defund,” we ALL know the police are necessary and valuable but consider how much money they suck from the taxpayer.

Uh oh, you said defund! Six more weeks of centrists whinging about how bad a slogan it is (while not coming up with any ideas of their own other than throw money at the problem...money that somehow doesn’t exist for any other project...)

We had 50 folks die at a concert from a guy who had more guns then the police and that did jack shit. The -only- reason the needle moved this time is we are starting to see large numbers of people die every single week. A shitload of dead people (Mostly kids) are the only thing that will change things and it has to…

sidebar: he was taken into custody alive, despite having clearly shot and killed/maimed 10+ people and was currently armed when law enforcement encountered him.

Damn, I lost my bet.. I was figuring 5-7 days, but it looks like 2-3 days.. wow, they are not even waiting for the usual immediate fervor to die down.

2 hours? Ha, this fucknut drove way longer than that. Upstate NY is rural as hell, ain’t no direct interstate from Binghamton to Buffalo. And Conklin is on the far side of Binghamton. That shit *meanders*. You’re looking at 3+hrs minimum.

He had written “nigger” and “Here are your reparations” on his weapon. Yes but Wypipo and the media are unclear about his fucking intentions. One more fucking time: This unwashed, uneducated, useless piece of dickskin drove THREE AND A HALF HOURS OUT OF HIS WAY TO KILL AS MANY BLACK AMERICANS AS POSSIBLE. If you…

Judge: Payton Gendron, you are accused of:

I often wonder the same thing re: Native Americans and white supremacists.

and that Black people were mere “replacers” who need to be eliminated,

“White supremacy is not defined by acts of outlandish violence. It is inflicted on America’s non-white population every day”

The shooting shows a vast gap in how society addresses mental illness.

Im native and it’s infuriating...they have no irony thinking they’ll be victims of genocide when it’s exactly what they’ve done/are doing for centuries all over the world to other peoples. #reddeal #landback

Just a friendly reminder that we as Black people are killed by police for the idea of us doing anything while this guy made threats and was still treated humanely EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Also just to mess with some people, Tamir Rice was killed by an officer that stated that he “looked twenty” eight years ago. Tamir…

That he came out with a statement against it relatively quickly.

Don’t give the murderer the satisfaction of seeing his name.

I had to check with my fam there to make sure everyone was okay. But yeah, dude left a wholeass manifesto that he was a #FFFFFF Supremacist murdering us and they still are trying to act like his intentions still need to be ascertained.
