Apart from the fact that they are modifying their uniforms with the symbol of a militia... Don't Disney own the copyright on that image, would love to see a legal case kick off over that

militia?  isn't that just the "Punisher" skull??  did not get a memo or something?

PunisherTM is about lone wolf vigilantism and lawless revenge, im pretty certain

I was referring to the thin blue line flag.
I'm not familiar with US law on police uniforms but modifying your uniform to change the insignia is illegal in a lot of countries. There are some countries that if you were to wear a flag other than your own it could get you whipped or killed.

You win the bet, Howl. The man gave an interview with Vice, and was gunned down by cops like an hour or so later.

In that video interview, he confessed, apparently. I wasn't able to confirm (my phone isn't playing videos anywhere right now annoyingly enough) but I'm conceding regardless.

You aren't getting the extra half page and furious WOMP though, as I don't have a computer for a WOMP and you made no claim for your bonus prize. Four pages, and not a line break more! And they're Google Docs pages, because I have no other word processor to use and no printer, and none of us can have nice things these days.

Federal cops.  For a state level murder.

Granted, they had the excuse that the marshals needed to be involved because he had a federal warrant out for him, but this was never going to end well.

Also, you can just post the hate letter in Apple Talk.
Dude got shot by the LEOs and, mysteriously, there's no body cam footage. He admitted to it but I don't believe a damn thing about their claims (that he pulled a gun) unless there's other footage. Not because I don't believe he probably wasn't armed but bc the cops lie about everything.

Well, that's great. Want to arrest some public officials? Go have the Feds cause a mess in a city for a month, wait until people protest against it, and if those officials say something in support...lock em up.

That definitely wouldn't be abused, oh no.

Also, they are trying to use the federal government to arrest officials for things that do not violate federal law.

It's basically just more goose-stepping.

I mean, I have kinda come to expect that, in general. Kinda a culmination of where things have been heading since 9/11, really.

The implicit threat of sending in Feds and if the states have the temerity to complain about it, they'll be arrested...you'd think that would get a certain kind of person up in arms, if the past 20 years hadn't already shown they have absolutely no consistent political positions or principles whatsoever.

And RBG just died.  So Tom Cotton will be a SCOTUS justice on a 6/3 court.  So here we go.

A riot is going to kick off, and its a justifiably response to that insult.
That was their opportunity to try and make it right and they squandered it

It was deliberate.  It's the new American politics.  "We did this because we can.  Do something about it."
