"Blue Lives Matter".... no, not those ones!

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

They like cops who suppress others but not them.

[-] wrath_of_grunge@kbin.social 15 points 11 months ago

it's always that way with that group.

we demand freedom! no not like that.

we support the police! no not like that.

etc.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

They back the blue only when the blue is murdering unarmed black people for them.

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

It's absolutely wild how these trump supporters don't see Capital police as "police". What a fucking cult.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 57 points 11 months ago

Shouldn't the January 6th insurrectionists just have complied?

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

I thought they were all antifa.

Not a lot of those there on that day. Funny thing, that.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

"innocent" Jan 6 rioters. You know, those people who broke the law and participated an insurrection that led many of them to be convicted. Those "innocent" rioters.

"Donald Trump Says Something Stupid. Again."

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 25 points 11 months ago

No one should give a fuck what he wants.

I'm not a big cop fan, but the Capitol Hill police were always awesome when I was there. Patient, helpful, professional--you got to know them checking in and out of buildings all the time. I think it being a small group with a really focused and constant assignment might remove some of the crazier bullshit you might find in a bigger city department, for example. There aren't words for how shameful this is.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

They're also really used to dealing with protestors. I think that probably helps.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

It'd make national or even world news whenever they fail at their job. Fuckensburg's cops aren't so closely observed.

[-] DrinkyCrow@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

"If it wasn't for those meddling pigs" - Trump probably

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Can we call it fascism yet?

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Way ahead of you. Tired of people whining about fascism "coming" to America. It's here. Now. Today. Wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

That crackhead pillow slinger, for one

[-] EricKHoward@mastodon.social 1 points 11 months ago

@shalafi @someguy3 Matt Walsh, for example

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You should read the new book “Prequel”.

The US fascists almost won last time.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I wonder what law he thinks they can be charged under 🤔

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 8 points 11 months ago

christ, what an asshole.

[-] skellener@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

🤦‍♂️

[-] Ulrich_the_Old@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

How about we do what I want for once. trump would not like it. Nor would he be in a position to protest.
