Have none of you any empathy? What about the feelings of this cop who had to shoot one of his brothers because the cameras were on, did you think about that?
That cop probably just didn’t have enough PVD to get the day off to go themselves.
I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it’s a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole “brotherhood” thing is performative. I’ve had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can’t wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.
Here in St Louis they just shoot each other for fun
St. Louis officer gets 7 years for killing female colleague while playing Russian roulette
I used to regularly visit a kava bar that happened to become a hang out spot for cops and military people. Honestly they didn’t seem that bad. One guy would come in every day for a kratom we’d take shells together. He played Slay the Spire on his switch, would ask for tips cause he kinda sucked.
Really they take easily impressionable young men and through the system mold them into something toxic. We become the roles we play. Shakespeare or something
kava, kratom, taking shells, slaying the spire in a switch…
I’m so confused.
I feel like one of us had an aneurysm.
This is your posting on kratom.
“slaying the spire” as in playing the video game Slay the Spire. Taking shells is lost on me, and Kava and Kratom are just legal highs/organic substances/dietary supplements/whatever it is called now.
Not to sound like I’m defending them but are you sure it wasn’t just workplace gossip tier stuff?
Maybe if they weren’t cops, yeah. But these are already people willing to murder for pretty much no reason at all. The only thing really stopping them is this stupid “brotherhood” crap which they drop in a second when the other cops aren’t around.
So sure, maybe it’s just workplace gossip, but I know I’ve never worked in a place where I was expected to always defend my co-workers no matter how heinously they acted.
Thanks to lifelong mental illness I only started developing more than a marginal sense of real empathy in my 30s, and it’s an extremely limited resource. So unfortunately I don’t have any to spare for the police.
I’m still working on my natural tendancy to paint with a broad brush, which is more than I can say about the cops.
I’ve heard it’s a sin
Leaving a comment here to look back when there is body cam footage and/or more details.
The fact that this person participated in an insurrection does not excuse a killing by police or give me joy in the outcome.
I just see it as the trash taking itself out.
It’s a tragedy when police abuse their power to kill, but at least he took out a shameless MAGA terrorist instead of it being a “Code 1488”, that’s Police Jargon for “Having to use deadly force on another black man minding his own business.”
SomeALL of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses!
Gosh, that’s…
Hey you should never celebrate cops killing somebody who…
Oh? You mean the Jan 6 terrorists who literally attacked cops and then got presidential pardons? Those guys?
Oh yeah okay then.
Hmm, interesting.
So I had Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes tonight. Anybody else have anything good?
I grabbed fast food and ate in the car. It’s the saddest dinner I’ll have this week but I do it every Monday so I’ll have enough time to shower and play with my dog for a bit between getting home from work and my weekly D&D game.
It’s only sad if you make it sad. Make it a pregame ritual and get pumped!
I made a vegetable stock from scratch with onions, garlic, carotts, parsnip, olive oil, salt and pepper, added a potato for the texture and once done completed it with cream, sour cream, mushrooms and green peas.
Finally I added some carob gum, because it was intended to be served as sauce rather than soup.
The side order was basmati rice.
Can’t say that I was disappointed.I had a few gluten free Oreo cookies.
Did you make it from scratch?
Yeah, like I said :)
Goshdarnint, I was trying to ask about the other person’s salisbury steak 👿
It’s WAY funnier reading it twice in a row though. You should just ask everyone this question.
I made some pork tenderloin recently. Came out a little dry even though I took it out right as it got 150° unfortunately, but it’s still good if you put the juices over it before eating.
My grandpa made really good tenderloins, added lemon pepper with a squeeze of lemon. So good. It’s one of his recipes I never got out of him. :(
I tried making hamburgers with ground goat, just for the hell of it. They were surprisingly good, the meat was too lean for a good hamburger though.
Try it again with added fat, maybe?

I’m doing steaks myself, but I ended up a little short on cook time so they are a little tough.
Brown rice/quinoa bowl with some rotisserie chicken and veg. Some undressed super greens on the side. Really been enjoying having a Doctor Goodwin (Dr. Pepper analog) Olipop with dinner. Really caps the meal off nicely.
Oof, that’s a lot healthier than mine lol
Did you make it from scratch?
Yeah, and if I’m being totally honest, it’s not as good as banquet lol
Edit: the Salisbury steak, I mean. The mashed potatoes are WAY better.
OK, challenge accepted. What recipe did you use?
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/14595/salisbury-steak/
I don’t think it’s possible to get that old “school lunch” or banquet consistency while keeping the food somewhat real so I guess the biggest “gripe” was the gravy. It was still pretty good though! Just didn’t recapture that.
You probably needed to add MSG
Likely. I really don’t use it much, because most things I cook don’t really need it. But that definitely could’ve used some extra flavor.
its just the spiderman meme except they have guns
Wait, you mean those Jan 6ers aren’t upstanding citizens? What a surprise…
Not like you have to be a criminal to get shot by the police in the US…
It doesn’t help though.
Terrorist killed by police.
Terrorist killed by terrorists
On the one hand, the usual American Police Brutality. On the other hand, one Trump-loving criminal less on the street.
He would still be alive if he was still in jail
He was only sentenced to six months. He’d be dead anyway.
Oh that’s good
He shouldn’t have resisted
If it were just another black dude who got shot “because he had a gun”, I’d doubt the word of the police about that. But this guy? I’m almost certain he had a gun and made some move that would have raised reasonable suspicion that he was intending to use it. Because those are the sorts of people who when to Jan 6.
Eh from what I hear the Police Union has been up Trump’s ass about the people he’s been pardoning.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear they’ve been internally calling these guys “Cop Killers” and being instructed to give them the “Fine Ol’ Solution” if ya know what I mean. Police Union is crooked as hell.
Good.
Guess his fat orange lord and savior couldn’t be bothered
Hahaha, oopsie poopsie
Good. One less piece of trash in the country
fewer
One less piece of fewer in the country.
Perfection
