(If you are out of the loop, that’s okay! Kyle Rittenhouse is a chud kid who is on trial for murdering two protesters and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the aftermath of protests over a police shooting that paralyzed Jacob Blake, a black man. There is a lot of news about the case circling around right now because the trial is ongoing.)

I cannot overstate how much of a racist shithole Wisconsin can be.
anyone else remember when a bunch of citizens found a child trafficking house and lost kids, and the cops burnt the place to the ground
MPD are all pedophile fucking freaks
Jesus I'd forgot about that. That was fucking weird, even by American standards.
It might just be a personal thing but that really burnt into my head "you cannot work with/trust anyone who has anything but an actively hostile relationship with the police. They are your enemy and will hurt you given the chance." Like I've never liked police prior, and the previous events of the summer didn't help, but that broke part of the social contract permanently. It's gotten to the point where in the various hobby communities I'm involved in, I'll blatantly try to get them expelled even if I gotta lie. We gotta carve these people out of society like an infected growth in your foot.
Kicking me out of where I was staying on Christmas to spend the holiday in a bus station did less than seeing those clips for some reason.
