    UPS tweet afterward: Thank you officers for killing an employee, else the bandit could have harmed the letters and packaged that got shredded after the 70 bullets.

    But they said it unironically

      The number of people who just go out and blast their friends at school or random people in public (probably 100% right wingers) vs the absolute almost nobody who goes out and blasts cops/landlords/CEOs, really confuses me.

      And they also love to gaslight about the left being violent. There's no left-wing violence in this country. The right has a monopoly on it.

    And the icing on the shit cake? The cops lit up the place over a handful of fucking jewelry. Shit that was absolutely insured by the jewelry store and they would have been financially fine had the cops just left the dude alone.

          Yes, I couldn't let something that made me feel so old slide.

          Even then, those two years have just melted away. Thank you covid and our incompetent govts for that I guess.

    Oh shit I forgot. That's how bad it is in this country, that you end up forgetting shit like this for a new horrific thing that's popped up. Amazing too how nothing happened to these cops, they were never investigated or fired, the media didn't care, people didn't care (outside of the left), and that was it.

    I'll never forget this :reddit-logo: video of the chase. How do Americans deny the existence of the police state when they see this?

    And yet SoFlo is still full of crime.

      2 black guys rob a jewelry store

      74 police cars and 5 helicopters deployed

      Hmm this is really good knowledge to have if someone wanted to ever do something bigger :thinking-about-it:

    God and then UPS thanked the cops right? I feel genuinely conflicted on this shit because UPS’s unions is actually pretty amazing (they will do solidarity strikes with teachers or even negotiate for teachers in states they don’t have unions in) and if we do start a general strike we will need their backing due to both their pull, loyalty, and huge amount of back up cash.

    But their response to the UPS tweet was awful
