How do people driving past these fucks resist the urge to plow right into them? It would be the only time I'd regret not having murkkka truck, could kill so many more fascists with a pavement princess.

They torture cop killers in prison.

Is that so? Can you back up your assertion?

These aren’t cops. They’re members of the “Patriot Front”, a white nationalist group. You’d probably be lauded in prison for doing as the main comment of this thread described provided you steer clear of the skinhead gangs.

I think their point was (in the words of RATM), "Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses."

Yep, guess it didn't land as intended.

Nah it was clear what you meant

Fair, though they definitely wouldn’t have the excuse of “killed in the line of duty” in the case described. Though I suppose it depends on who you ask.

Fun fact! The overwhelming majority of on the job cop deaths are traffic accidents! Fun fact! The majority of those accidents are caused by the cop! Fun fact! Delivery drivers have a higher job mortality rate than police, and so do most physical laborer positions. The police are ironically the most likely thing to kill the police. If only they were better at it.

Could you provide a source for these claims? I live in Canada so admittedly there’s likely a discrepancy in environment, though what I found is this CBC article on cop death statistics. While the top cause is definitely traffic accidents, it’s hardly overwhelming since it’s fairly closely followed by shootings.

Additionally (and this is more a matter of interpretation than anything as of yet) I don’t quite believe that the majority of traffic accidents which involve the death of cops are self-imposed unless there’s something concrete to suggest otherwise which I’m not aware of. By its very nature there’s like a million different factors at play in an accident—like any other only with cop-involved ones there would be a higher risk of mortality or injury—so again I’d have to see some data on that being the case. Otherwise that claim seems a bit disingenuous.

doesn't matter to the police.
