Police Departments across the state are stretched thin as so many officers are attending the funerals today. Assholes are capitalizing on that by filing false reports to overburden the limited police services available. Fucking vultures.

Maybe the police departments should be doing their actual job

They are.

Protecting the working class isn’t part of their job. It’s protecting their own and the capital class. Capital class doesn’t send their kids to public schools so they don’t give a fuck.

I didn’t say rich, I said capital class.

If you work for a living (meaning you build wealth through your labor and not through owning things) you aren’t who I’m talking about.

I don’t hate or despise them.

I just want them to do their actual job.

I appreciate police officers when they do the stuff they’re supposed to do.

Otherwise, I dislike boots.

Who else will show up 45 minutes later when I call 911 to report that my house was robbed???

Armed agents of the government, shut down the state today, and someone was clearly pissed about it.

Well then shame on the police for stretching themselves thin and leaving themselves unable to respond to this type of situation.

The death of an officer is tragic, but public safety is more important.

You have to put the needs of the many before the needs of a few.

What do you expect when they want to defund the police and say constantly how disgusting they are. Good cops leave because there are so many regulations they can't do their job probably so they get a security job that pays the same and minimal risk. You are then left with the scumbags who get into the profession to bully and act likes general thugs and get a paycheck Do you blame them? I don't
