    It's so sad that when I hear about that kind of shit that I'm not surprised. There is ALWAYS a reason for people to victim blame.

    Also kinda wild that the cops are astroturfing, though. I could definitely see that on Facebook. I think in general people who use reddit regularly are of particular demographics that are privileged and fake progressive, so I can see how the community opinion would be skewed. It's just so disheartening to see, though

      The last guy to run for police union prez in Seattle, for reelection, his motto was literally "controlling the narrative".

      Saying the quiet parts out loud.
