This is anti-police work. This is insane. Don’t create the risk and then escalate it. Slow down. Think about what is the point of your actions. But then perhaps this is the point. And that point leads us to disaster.

Where is the forcible felony that requires deadly force? Driving towards cops can indeed be a deadly force situation. But this is NOT that. The ‘crime’ here if there was one was misdemeanor obstruction. There is a thing called a license plate. Go find them later. SLOW DOWN

If the point of the ‘stop’ is to move along traffic, then that’s the point. Move traffic along. But walking up to a car saying ‘get out of the fucking car’ is not professional. It’s a sign of a poorly trained or poorly self-regulating person with a gun. Again, what’s the point.

Let’s start with the real basic rule of: You don’t block a car with your body. If you want to physically block a car, you use your car. Like the truck these officers parked & got out of. It’s officer-created jeopardy at this point. But again, look deeper. What’s the point of this

The question if a police shooting is justifiable is just 1 question to ask. 1st: this wasn’t justifiable. But for me the real question is was it inevitable. As police, we must do everything we can to avoid deadly force. Many times the suspect makes it inevitable. Not in this case

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.

It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.

It must stop.

Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Democrats must zero in on the open-ended military commitment that lacks even a pretense of advancing “democracy” or fighting narco-terrorism. To forge a bipartisan coalition, Democrats will need to explain why average people should care.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.
