      On the wrong platform if you want to suck up to cops and surveillance chief

          If I need help I’m sure as hell not calling the cops. The cops are only useful if the situation would be improved by a crazed gunman suddenly showing up and shooting anything that moves.

          There are situations, granted, where that’s an improvement. But not many.

          I hesitate to call the cops even for traditionally appropriate situations when someone like you who probably loves ICE too would love to call them.

          I don’t understand the cult around U.S. cops because its luck of the draw if you get an asshat abuser like my SO’s previous step father or a cop that can actually de-escalate a situation, vs cops doing some semblance of something correct overseas.

          But keep sucking people off that are drawn to abuse of power.

      Some laws were meant to be broken.

      Gay sex was seen as a crime, once upon a time. (it still is, in some places)

      When the government is run by criminals, and the corporations are run by criminals, and the law enforcement are criminal, you think the rest of us should play by the rules?

      How is that fair or right?
