If you see a police officer on the streets, you are in your right to defend yourself. They do not have your best interests in mind, they are more likely to murder you than even let you be.

You first, that is one of those things that sounds "cool" in your head or on the Internet. Reality, you're either dead or in jail for 30 years...
It's crazy just how blatantly evil they are, man.
so like, if we post that same truck picture on said sheriff's personal webpage with the caption "sheriff crusher" we totally wouldn't get pulled in by the fbi or nsa or sheriff or anything. this fucking country.
They really aren't convincing me that there is a moral imperative in NOT shooting them. With each abuse the rightwing afflicts, the less that I consider Republicans to be fellow Americans. Rather, I am starting to view them as irredeemable monsters that must be slain.
The GOP doesn't understand what will happen to them, their families, and society. We won't be one people anymore, becoming willing to wage war upon each other. This is a dark and evil timeline, one that could have been avoided if the Republicans were willing to think beyond themselves.
The destiny of our nation will be written in blood, deserved or not.

If he were gunned down by a protestor while driving his truck there is a real self defense case here.
He posted publicly about murdering protesters with a truck.
If he catches a bullet that would be an o Henry level of ironic satisfaction
some days you feel like hiding. some days, you feel a little:
If I promoted violence on social media I’d no longer be employed.
That's a law enforcement representative promoting slaughter of citizen's exercising their right to protest. And at the same time making fun of people who have died this way.
You guys need to hit the reset button. This is beyond fucked.
Some of us our trying. Unfortunately, the pacifying abilities of the US are still very strong. Even as material conditions decline.
This is the latest attempt to deal with the contradictions of capitalism.
We had amazing turnout for the "No Kings" protest. But that likely gave the well-off Liberals enough to feel like they did something for awhile. And most will still nod their heads in agreement with "dealing with Iran". The US is in need of a war to improve its economy it seems.
These fascist will grow more bold as the liberals start to see protests and threatening to the status quo they also enjoy. And the poor of this country seem to have just enough bread to keep them from targeting their violence at the right people.
I don't know what will happen. But we are definitely living through weeks where the decades happen right now. I just don't think it's going to end in a good place.
Nothing happens to them most of the time when they kill people. For sure this guy is getting off light.
It's all too expected, though. Especially in Pennsyltucky. Wouldn't surprise me if he has a Klan card.
Yeah, this is the system working exactly as intended.
Its always the cunts you most expect.

This sheriff should be removed from office.
Seriously how the fuck is this not immediate grounds for expulsion?
i vaguely remember sherrifs are even more difficult to get rid of than regular policemen
maybe john oliver did a segment?
Don't think it works like that for elected officials but it should. Fucking garbage human here.
Ah yes, the “pro-free speech” team.
They are pro-free-speech just like they are pro-constitution and pro-bible.
Only the parts they can use to justify doing whatever the fuck they want.
Don't forget being pro-freedom and pro-American. Same exact thing. They don't mean any of it. Not really.
See also - their outrage about "political correctness" and "identity politics". They are 100% in favor of both, just their form of it.
FYI I edited my comment, but it does not detract for your point. I just feel bad editing wording after receiving a reply so I wanted to mention it.
They don't have consistent values at all. We keep interacting with them in terms of pointing out their hypocrisy or inconsistent messages, but they literally do not care about what they said yesterday. They are simple, linear minds who only work in terms of what they're feeling right now and I think if we did better to treat them that way and remember we're not winning intellectual arguments with them, we would make actual progress in changing them.
They scream about "free speech" when they feel their words are unpopular and being booed. They care about life and abortions when it's not their daughter. They cheer on cops who shoot innocent black kids, but would go firebomb the local station if a cop came into their house and shot their dog.
We seriously, absolutely HAVE to digest this so we can collectively start forming new tactics to manipulate them into making better outcomes for all of us.
Because whatever else happens, even if we win back everything tomorrow, we will continue to share a world with them as our neighbors and the people who... who... okay I guess contractors and plumbers? Probably a few truck mechanics too, but point remains, they exist all around us, and if we're really going to be better than them, we have to be like parents who subtle change the way a toddler feels without yelling at them and making them feel mad or put out.
Pro-life.
James Muller, 79
A 79 year old sheriff?!
Why hasn't he retired at 79? Has he been failed by America's shitty social support? Or maybe is he just one of those people who is obsessed with power?
Both, really. Shitty social support in that he likely had an F-tier education, leading to being obsessed with power.
Our country is riddled with ancient old sacks of shit who serve as sheriffs until they die. It's a whole thing. Among our many, many problems with police in America.
Unchecked power is a very addictive drug.
Hey, look in the bright side... He'll be dead soon.
🤞🤞🤞
Fuck, our president is that old.
The All New Dodge Ram Former Sheriff James Muller Edition
It's going to be REALLY wild seeing these same fucks starting bitching and whining about being gunned down in the streets. They start a hot civil war and act all tough and shit, but watch who pisses themselves first.
I don't know shit about PA laws, but in FL (and probably any stand your ground or castle law state); because of stand your ground, you can shoot the driver of the truck and hope to kill them before they hit someone. They don't even have to be driving towards you... they can be trying to drive over someone else.
I thought that paint job only came on the "kill cops cause theyre scum" edition
I don't think A7x would endorse the deathbat on such an atrocity
Say it with me people: ~~gender~~ ideology affirming vehicle.
I... I don't know how to pronounce the line through the word D:
Criticized ? Not fired ?
He's elected so can't really just be fired
They say & do truly despicable stuff like this, we say we hate them for it, they say “So MuCh FoR tHe ToLeRaNt LeFt!”
It’s insane.

Well cop edition would just be a big pink pig pussy so...
If only we lived in a society where this sort of comment made by a law enforcement officer would get them fired from their job.
He should be removed from office at the very least.

Is the Uvalde edition just 400 cop cars in urban camo so they can hide from one gunman?
