seriously, where the fuck are the cops that are supposed to be protecting the community from this?

Uvalde showed us all what cops are. Nothing else needs to be learned or said about police, that disgusting event told us every single thing worth knowing.

The cops are to protect corporate interests and the wealthy. Nothing more. We are on our own.

I don't think that's how the cops understand their jobs.

Even if all cops weren't bastards, DHS and ICE in Minneapolis outnumber them 5 to 1.

Doing fuck all about it or helping.

Nah, cops prefer sitting in their idling cars and occasionally write tickets. Sometimes they show up late to a crime scene, take pics, and file a report. You're hoping the cops protect citizens from fed-sponsored, armed thugs? You're on your own.
