    I know it's just cop-speak but framing the perps as "attackers" when they were barricaded in the house is pretty ridiculous.

      1 US Marshal, 1 CMPD, and 2 NC “Department of Adult Corrections” officers who were working with the US Marshal.

      The CMPD pig died later in the hospital, the other three I think died on scene.

        If prison is so horrible that killing four people (although they're pigs), well knowing that the remaining pigs will execute you on the spot in retaliation, is a better option than going there then there's something really fucked up about prison.

        To the extent people should be sent to prison in the first place it shouldn't be the torture cages of America but rather gulags centered on re-education and rehabilitation.

      I saw that. They kept removing comments saying "we don't wish death on people here". They don't those fucks just stay on reddit at that point?

    I would have simply kept walking and not attempt to break into the bunker-house, but that's just me.
