He ruined his life by doing that interview.

Lol

He ruined his life by doing that interview.

Doesn't he know there is no history now so no one will remember this? What a drama queen.

He sounds like a total dickhead. He wasn’t protecting his wife. He had her outside barefoot with a pistol.

Abolish morons

Ugh. What a jive turkey.

Which one is Mickey?

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with what this guy was saying, but I do think people should watch a video like this before going off on how our "freedoms" are being taken from us. Lots of people focused on cancel culture, etc... but that video does look like it's taking place in a free country. The last couple of months have been good for "freedom" in my opinion. Perspectives held by marginalized groups have entered the mainstream. There's lots of cynicism out there but I think the next 10-20 years are going to be pretty remarkable, in a good way.

we should give credit to those cops, who probably make less money than most people on this board, and are taking a lot of shit for things that other people in their line of business have done, but have to stand their and eat it from freaks like that and be treated like an enemy or a traitor; when they are just some regular guy trying to earn a living and have not actually done anything wrong themselves; and have actually probably contributed more to society at this point in their lives than the heckler and his sidekick

and no, them just quitting their job as a policeman because 'all police are evil' or 'they are defending evil institutions' is not a practical response

the practical response is that protestors need to direct their message at a better audience than just 'anyone in a police uniform'

such as, politicians who can change the laws

[verb_to_trust]

What is a cop going to quit their job and do? What's the bougie RM answer to that one? College professor? Vaguely defined remote administrative work?

[Rob]

They can apply to be a better cop.

Do you think the cops in that video are going to think freedom to rant at them is remarkable? I wonder if that jive turkey is actually just making the lives of Black Americans worse off by his actions. Respect goes a long way. That fella’s rant is lean on civil discourse and rich on histrionics.

Y’all need to shut up and pay the guy’s student loans

How do you know they aren't already doing that?

Thanks for throwing salt on the wound.

Freedom to rant is pretty remarkable, whether cops agree or not.

Kind of hope the good ones already are. I assume/hope this is getting started in places.

i am surprised at this point a counter-protest has not been organized and collided in a mass brawl
