    One could argue that the type of person who watches right-wing propaganda shouldn’t be given authority of the state and a firearm. If he was watching cat videos, he would simply be a careless dipshit who killed someone because he’s stupid. Instead, we know he is a careless dipshit who killed someone and is also a fascist piece of shit who shouldn’t have been a cop in the first place.

      I’d argue that he was perfect for being a united states cop. police have no obligation to save you as per a 2000s Supreme Court ruling. if you’re bleeding out and someone is actively murdering you right in front of them.

      The police only protect property and corporations in the US. any other developed western country I can’t think does this.

        He has a record of watching fascist content while driving and killing a cyclist. I’m not inclined to give any benefit of doubt.

        It’s entirely possible to not take your political beliefs out on people

        If you believe trans people are mentally ill, you will take that context into every situation. No one is so mentally perfect as to avoid that. Especially not cops.
