That won't stop the far right from turning him into a martyr
They sure are big on traitors and hostile to the rule of law lately.
Lately?
The right used to at least pretend to be into law and order.
They still pretend, they just also pretend that the rule of law is different than what it is.
You know how many far-righters have "back the blue" and thin blue line bumper stickers?
Yes the same guys who rant about government tyranny yet defend police (government employees/enforcers) at every opportunity love to also rant about the rule of law unless those rules are applied to them or their current flavor of the week messiah.
And yet here were are in a thread about the state murdering someone over words and liberals are falling over themselves to "back the blue" hardest.
They still are.
"Law and order" is a racist dog whistle.
They've always backed conservative cops enforcing conservative laws against "other people" but letting conservatives off with a warning.
They were never into law and order.
They were just into law beating and brutalizing black and poor people.
He never said they were. He said they pretended to.
They turned a dumb cunt that jumped over a barricade to rush a bunch of men with guns into a martyr.
They'll turn this guy into The Jesus to Trumps God.
What word did you try and use there?
it was cu nt, it's only censored on hexbear
What you mean that won't STOP them? That actually STARTs them again!
Or from producing more of them.
