Shopkeeper: soon the people in this town will be so paranoid and hateful to each other I will sell them all guns and watch as the inevitable violence outbreaks.
Me: this is America, we already have 1.2 guns per person (counting kids) and there was a shooting behind McDonalds just last week.
Shopkeeper: well, er, this will be so bad not even the police can stop it.
Me: way ahead of you. The police are already regularly shooting innocent and unarmed people and one was just in a shootout with an acorn.
God what terrible journalism, the person he shot at was a civilian not a suspect. I hate how we can’t even report on these kinds of things without a pro cop slant.
simple misunderstanding. you see in the eyes of the court, he’s innocent until proven guilty. in the eyes of the police officer, there are no innocents, only suspects.
my fave is when they hassle some normal person, and even after finding they did nothing wrong, or were guilty of no crimes, the police will refer to them as a suspect, like you see here.
like they’ll run a search warrant or something and then say, well the person was suspected of having marijuana. did the person actually have anything? no. but he was suspected of it.
pigs eat shit, and i can probably count on one hand the number of them i know that i would be sad if something happened to them. the overwhelming majority of them could suddenly cease to exist and the country would be a MUCH better place for it.

Wait, please explain the acorn thing. That’s a joke right?
