It's better if the police budget is spent on replacing tires rather than purchasing even more unnecessary surplus military equipment which they will then try to justify using.
Doing this saves lives, the taxes pay for the payouts in wrongful death lawsuits so this saves money.
That's a week less with fewer cops beating and killing innocent people. Maybe it's worth it to avoid paying taxes out to grieving families and disabled victims in settlements.
Psst. We don’t do logic here.
If everyone just behaved, then my state wouldn't be harmful. You made me do this.
You're right, it is an unpopular opinion. Maybe keep it to yourself next time you decide to let your fascist flag fly.
Fascism is when people refuse to tolerate fascism on websites.
The part that really shocked me is that it got even upvotes and downvotes... Mask off, I absolutely admit that was a troll shit post, I didn't take it seriously but I also took it seriously enough to not add a /s. I expected to be downvoted to oblivion, I didn't expect it to be on par. That's a litmus test for ya.
Edit: Until I downvoted myself that is, now it's 6 up and 8 down. Seriously though, glad you pushed back against that.
