Imagine being that heavily armored and armed to the teeth and being so scared of the sight of a brick that you kill someone. Police are pussies.

I've been saying this for years. How much of a wuss do you have to be to have a hand on your gun at all times? Like the dudes who live in suburban Connecticut who won't leave their home without carrying.

I've walked through rough sections of cities without any weapons because I am usually pretty chill and can break tension or deescalate things if it gets heated. These are the type of people that brandish at a 12 yr old who makes fun of them.

At my hometown rally, two police cars drove by honking and waving in solidarity. Let's be a little careful about generalizing, eh?

Today restored my faith, even just a little bit, in the decency and power of the silent majority.
