In reply to the discussion: Indiana man shot dead by police had been pardoned for Jan. 6 Capitol riot [View all]Sailingfish
(47 posts)34. Cheering this guy's death is the height of hypocrisy and not a good look for the left.
Police brutality and out of control force by the cops transcends political division. The cops work for the ruling class first and foremost. Their main purpose is to enforce ruling class laws and ruling class authority. What happens to Huttle can easily happen to anyone in the rank and file if you "step out of line" or "resist" in any way. Especially if you happen to be black, brown, or "illegal."

When it comes to justice for these traitors, the last thing I worry about is how the left looks!

So wanting justice for the traitors who tried to overthrow our government is now hyperbole?

So, you don't know the details but are willing to pass judgement on the Deputy?

So, you're basically saying that this wasn't an insurrection or a coup?

Nobody wins by supporting things one claims to oppose. George Floyd anyone ?

Right, because any view you don't agree with must be coming from the right. Laughable.

And I made perfectly clear in my initial post the issue with cheering this guy's death.

Gee that's too bad. I guess that pardon gave him the idea that he was above the law.
