No, im praising justice. It just so happens that for once in their lives, the cops somehow managed to actually achieve justice.
To be clear, this person didnt need to die, but in the absence of any form of actual consequence this is the closest to justice were likely to see.
There’s a difference between praising cops and appreciating the irony of the guy who supported Trump, lover of police violence, dying in a police shoot-out.
Similarly, on a historical note, I’m not going to praise mass-murderer Stalin for killing Nazis to save his own ass, but I sure as hell am not going to condemn him for it.
Sure, and the irony in the original post is as obvious as it is in scubus’ comment. They seem to present this - an extrajudicial killing by the police, the enforcement arm of the judicial system - as an example of the extrajudicial justice we must rely on since the judicial system has categorically failed us. It just doesn’t make sense (and it has nothing to do with my initial comment)
What should we rely on instead to stop these extremely violent people who got a full pardon? Because as far as I can tell, the only way they will be stopped is if they go up against the fascist cops.
That’s not praising the cops, that’s saying there’s no one else. Because there is no one else.
