Cop in Oklahoma slammed a 71 year old Vietnamese man, who barely understand English, into the ground (cops in OKC are really resentful of the “the gays, the Mexicans and the Asians”). He had a brain bleed and some other injuries. Oklahoma’s attorney general, who is the more “reasonable” pick for next governor between him and Ryan Walters, refused to press charges.
Oh fuck please don’t tell me Rayn Walters is planning on running for governor…
That’s been the point of the grandstanding. That or a Trump appointment (and ending Phyler v Doe/access to education for undocumented students). He was too stupid to realize that he wasn’t rich enough for Trump - even the Trump Bible grift wasn’t enough to get him the DOE nomination.
I don’t think Walters is going to win, but he effectively pulled the Overton window to make Drummond look like a “moderate.” Drummond will handily win, and I imagine even pull some Dems with the way he’s been trying to present himself as reigning Walters in.
My only hope is that someone gets video of Walters and one of his bosom buddies. “Sex, lies, and we wish we had a video tape” - to reference an illegal mailer in obscure local politics.
Yeah he barely won secretary of education against a Democrat in one of the reddest states. Okies don’t like him, they just hate trans people more.
Do Okies like anyone? Themselves included.
Do you like anyone? Including yourself.
I will burn the state to the ground if he is elected. Guess I need to prepare myself to run for governor. No way can alllow either of those men run our state.
I don’t know you, but you have my vote.
- Several days of peaceful protests
- Leading to police shoving a 75yo
- Old man cracks his skull on the pavement and starts bleeding from the ear
- Gang keeps moving, “some medics will take care of it lol”
- Two guys get suspended
- Police union shuts everything down
- 57 police resign from having to deal with protests
- The two guys are eventually cleared, because they did what they were supposed to do
- people are outraged, which is to say, nothing happened
Just another slice of American life
I get what you’re trying to get across but the meme format is not the best way to present actual information. How about linking an actual article instead?
ACAB
Fuck the police
Impact font is the new Comic sans, time and a place people
I have had no positive experiences with cops, even when asking for help, in earnest. One tried to fight me once while on duty. The worst person I know married a corrupt cop. I honestly think hating cops is just logical from my perspective, even if I didn’t see videos and stories about the absolutely morally garbage things they do all the time.
Basically don’t share memes with badly researched text instead of articles. The actual facts are just as infuriating, its trivially dismissed for its flaws when again the actual facts are of vital import, and it trains stupid people to believe such posts when they are often used to spread lies.
This issue should be more known but this post should be more down voted.

They need to actually be held accountable directly and we need better training.
Oh and we need to have regular fitness testing. It blows my mind how many spherical cops I see. You think they are gonna chase someone or maybe just whip out the ol 9mm problem solver and start blasting?
Like I am in support of police from a societal need standpoint but the police we got right now ain’t it.
Unfortunately it’s easy for me to sit here in bed and point out all the problems. I have no idea how the fuck you even begin tearing down a problem that big with that many people involved across so many states. Like we would need to completely overhaul everything from the ground up.
The font makes this very, very hard to read
Jesus fucking Christ…

KENNETH WAS AT WALMART WITH HIS FIANCÉ WHEN GUNFIRE ERUPTED IN THE PARKING LOT. INSTEAD OF CALLING 911, KENNETH BEGAN REDERING[sic] AID TO ONE OF THE VICTIMS UNTIL A MAN CAME OVER AND TOLD HIM TO STOP. SECONDS LATER THAT MAN, WHO IT TURNS OUT WAS A PLAINCLOTHES COP, SHOVED KENNETH SO HARD THAT HE FELL BACKWARDS, HIT HIS HEAD AND WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE DIED.
