Hot damn is this real justice happening in Mississippi! Drain the swamp would be used in the proper context here. Monsters dressed as police officers actually being fired and facing time in prison. It’s a terrible story, but I’m happy to see the long dick of the federal law is swinging down that far south.

on one hand, I wish I wouldn’t have to read those headlines because it depresses me

on the other hands, there’s no point in muting that information, because people should know those things and should be angry

I thought “we should read good news”, and then /r/upliftingnews appeared and it was just a rose-colored glasses thing.

we actually need to hear bad news to make people react.

I want to hear good news when we actually fix things. I don’t want to ignore bad news or to have news mischaracterized as good.

“raped” they raped him. Even by americas fucked up definition of rape. Raped him. Why can’t news just say ‘they raped the man’ always with weird innuendos.

The police are rapists. So easy to type. Almost flows off the keys.

After reading it I feel the rape part is by far not the worst part of what they did. How long were these fucking criminals getting away with this shit. If he hadn’t shot him (reads like he meant for it to not fire the second time he pulled the trigger with his gun in his mouth) then we wouldn’t even know about this and they would still be out there posing as police officers

Woah woah woah. Let’s not jump to any conclusions about everyone yet. Let’s wait it out until we get all the facts before we say something so profound. Even if they did something of that nature there must be a good reason, they wouldn’t make choices like that without good reasons.

/s I think this is obvious, but just in case

It’s almost a haiku. Six, five, six. Explains the flow. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
