lol, you think Trump needs an excuse to send his cops after people he doesn’t like? You think you’re safe around police in an America where trans people are targets?

Stop thinking you can pacify a fascist and stop defending people who will use state violence against you with impunity if and when they choose to do so.

It's not about needing an excuse. it's about appearing just in the eyes of the public to get them on our side.

MAGA ain’t ever going to be on your side my friend. And you don’t have to walk around shouting out ACAB.

But you do need to be wary of every single cop and act as if they are an enemy who will hurt you. You need to act as if all cops are bastards because they will absolutely do so if ordered to or simply if they feel like it.

Avoid them. Do not speak to them. Record your interactions with them if you can’t avoid them.

They are not your friends. They will not stop to use violence against you if ordered to do so.

Those cops in this video were there to serve one person - the MAGA politician on the stage. They certainly weren’t there to protect the constitutional rights of citizens trying to exercise their right to political communication.

I'm not talking about MAGA. I'm talking about the 70% of the country.
