Just to be clear: they get away with it because cops are the ones who’d have to arrest these idiots, and… well, that Venn diagram is very close to being a circle.

Yeah. I mean, the whole free speech thing is cool and all, but this seems like it should be seen as a direct threat.

Police unions in the states are 100% fucked beyond repair, imo.

Are the same that burn crosses
