      When the cops back the blue, when they lie and cheat to cover up their coworkers’ misdeeds, they all become targets…

      And look, my friend, this is old news. We have said for decades that either cops regulate themselves or they will be regulated by the people. Even now, this message is still falling on deaf ears.

      With their matching clothes and arrogant gait, they all kind of look the same at 70-80 mph.

      I think the father’s point is that the system is broken; not that he got revenge on his son’s specific killer, just some revenge on the system as a whole.

        We all know who the real criminals are. The people in uniforms with badges and guns, who love to target minorities, who lie every day of their lives, under oath and on the stand, and pretend they’re not the bad guys because it was their coworker who did the horrible action, not them, they only stood by and watched.

        Of course any death is sad. My heart goes out to both families. Also, if you want the problem to be solved, you start by locking up the dirty pigs, not by accusing the general public of … checks notes … understanding the current state of reality.
