"This gentle giant had just broken up a fight when he was approached by officers accusing him of selling untaxed cigarettes. Even though he had harmed no one & didn't resist, 7 officers jumped on top of him and strangled him to death. Like if you agree it's time to seriously consider if we would be safer without police."

Brian J.: Who’s watching the watchmen?

Rayn: Shatan watches while he strokes his thorny cock. 🙂

Brian J.: Shatan?

Rayn: The Accuser.

Brian J.: Oh okay.

Sara: I’m sick over this :'(

Thomas Pa.: Arrest happy, every police force is arrest happy. A simple summons would have accomplished the same objective, they wouldn’t have needed to touch anybody.

Morgan S.: Murder. plain and simple.

Marilyn W.: This was so wrong!!!!
