    The good news is that a bunch of Trumpets are now convicted felons. Those idiots really thought the police were on their side.

      To be fair I think a lot of police would have been on their side if they thought cheetolini had a chance at his soft coup.

      FAR to many hard right cops

        Is that how Felonies work? I’m pretty sure accepting a Pardon is explicitly an admission of guilt.

        EDIT: Looks like it’s a state by state basis.

      The police are on their side, typically, because they both rabidly protect the wealth class. They usually bark in the yard outside… It’s just on January 6 they went a little too far into the mansion, got their muddy paws on the rug, had to get their snouts bopped by the estate enforcers.

        IMO, the Police are only on their own side. As long as they don’t make a spectacle about it, they have supreme authority to do whatever they want within their districts.
