    love to support the police brutalizing black people who are asking the police to stop brutalizing black people

    scratch a liberal and suddenly you're drowning in fashie blood, and not in the good way

      I'm not asking them to open fire into a peaceful crowd inindiscriminately am I? I'm saying if it kicked off and they started burning buildings and looting like the US BLM riots, then I wouldn't be opposed to the use of the rounds.

        the demonstrations in the u.s. were largely peaceful aside from police violence. a ransacked Target is not worth the police running people over or blinding them with rubber bullets
