People that defend criminals are the lowest of the low. Pathetic.

The difficult part for you to gasp is that you don’t pull a fucken knife on a cop. Done. Period. You seem stupid, but even you aren’t dumb enough to do that. This guy? He fucked around and found out. Nothing of value was lost that day.

Not this time!

Here’s another idea: Don’t pull a knife out on a cop. Not too complicated. Not particularly difficult to follow. In fact, for sane, innocent people, it only makes sense.

Normal, innocent people are quick to pull it out on a cop. Yeah. Of course. Absolutely. And that doesn’t even factor in his erratic driving and going down a wrong way. Nothing of value was lost that day.

With all the bleeding-hearts on Lemmy who think we should be coddling criminals, I’m not shocked he was released after serving just 1/4 of his sentence. Clearly he was rehabilitated!1!!! Oh wait. No he wasn’t.

Fuck Israel

Nothing of value was lost that day. Don’t pull knives out on cops. This isn’t a particularly difficult concept to understand.

Innocent people pull out knifes on cops. Totally.

If you pull out a deadly weapon on a cop, don’t expect to ever make it home. That’s reality. Trying to act like pulling out a knife is normal behavior and then defending this guy is rather ridiculous.

Then stop the fucken car and maybe, just maybe, don’t pull out a fucken knife on an officer. But yeah, let’s pretend this guy was some innocent person. The news media will show pictures of him in his sunday best when he was 10 and hadn’t become a total become a piece of shit yet. His grandma will be on the news crying about “my baby!”. Yawn. We’ve all seen this shit before and the excuses run thin.

Charges dropped against Philadelphia officer

Maybe you missed that part. I mean it was the very first few words of the headline, but clearly you didn’t comprehend it.

There wouldn’t be much of a planet if everyone was like you - defending or apologizing for thieves, rapists and murderers.

Why would some “innocent” person be lifting a knife at all, let alone to a cop?

We going to pretend that knives aren’t deadly? Especially at close range?

Hey California, you seeing this?

Sorry dude, I just replied to another one of your comments that I totally agree with you on, but I do not see this ever, ever, ever happening.

Here’s why: It takes more guts to break such a long held tradition than the Democrats would ever be willing to show. If they win power again, they will always kick the can down the road.

And it isn’t going to happen if Republicans are in power. No way. Because they know it helps them win, so why would they ever change it?

This is similar to the talk 2 years ago about expanding the size of the Supreme Court to dilute the conservative vote. There was seemingly a new article on it posted every other day and how supposedly it could be done, blah, blah, blah… then the second that Biden got into office, everyone forget about it.

Eliminating the electoral college would be a far bigger change, so the chances of it happening are zero. People need to move on and the Dems need to find a way to win with the EC in place.
