you could curse a police officer out, kick their car, throw a temper tantrum and throw trash. and that still doesnt mean they get to kill you. what the fuck is wrong with yall? why do you think police get some special license to kill when they get disrespected?

if they cant do their job without murdering unarmed people, they dont deserve their badge, or anyones respect.

I wish people would think about how some of these situations would look if it were just two citizens and no police were involved.

If there were a situation where one citizen disrespected another citizen, and the second citizen kills the first citizen over it then there would be no doubt that the murderer is in the wrong.

But apparently it’s different if the murderer is wearing a badge.

People make excuses like “they were resisting arrest” and “they were being disrespectful” and they miss the point. Does those reasons really justify murder?

If an unarmed person is resisting arrest over something as small as, say, a busted taillight then do they deserve to be shot in the head over it? Really???

If a random person shot and killed another unarmed random person for “being disrespectful” would it be justified? Of corse not.

Why is it different if it’s a policeman doing the killing? Why does that symbol of authority allow them to murder without consequence??

Why are cops allowed to commit crimes that normal citizens would be arrested and probably jailed for?? Why do people think that’s okay?
