Well, I'm going to do a farewell tour of upstate New York, hellholes like Plattsburgh. Fred Armisen as Gov. Paterson

Point is that cops are in a dangerous profession, and these "bad cop"/protest stories are caused by a vast minority of "bad" cops. I'm tired of this "evil cop" mentality that is the cause of the day. It's farking bullsheet. People should be supporting the forces, not protesting them, because of cases exactly like this.
...yeah, no. Obviously, it goes without saying that what happened in NYC was beyond horrible. But that doesn't absolve the cops that are asshats from being asshats, either. For instance, the NYPD Union guy blaming this on the mayor? Fark him.

To paraphrase the great Jerry Falwell...
"The mayor, the president, the protesters, the media...I shake my finger in their face and say, 'You let this happen!'"
Notice how nobody is victim blaming the cops or concern trolling and saying "if they didn't do x, y, and z wrong they'd still be alive!".
Because sitting in a patrol car is such an offense. My God, you are a freaking moron.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

When did I say they did anything wrong? *woooooosh*
The reason the other two cases got "concern trolled," as you put it, is because they DID do things wrong. And considering Mike Brown's actions directly led to his death, at least if you believe in forensics and all that, then it's fair to say that had he not tried to grab Wilson's gun, he WOULD in all likelihood still be alive today.
Honest question, if the cops did something slightly wrong that compromised their safety, would you blame them for it? Obviously I wouldn't and I know you wouldn't either.
Now look at the kid who got gunned down in Cleveland and all of the "well he kinda deserved it" posts which aren't happening here after these officers got gunned down.

You keep bringing up the kid. No one is condoning/sympathizing with that officer.
If a cop decided to commit a crime, and was killed for it, then we're talking about similar things.
Next.
