Still the atypical squeeky wheel, tho the rage may be more widespread. We've seen demonstrations and peaceful protests rather than rioting, the Dallas police massacre should serve to moderate the passion of the demonstrations.

Guys, guys, guys. The police are not heroes for doing their jobs, the shooters are not all fucktards and demons in going out and shooting people.

This is all part of a script, one we need to change the trajectory on the plot line before it becomes an endless tragedy.

One thing that would help is really decreasing the instances where cops pull over people in their cars, period. You could ban fix-it pull overs and no real harm would occur. Police could snap a picture of your plate and send the fix it notice to your address using DMV records.
A lot of this unnecessary police encroachment is just to raise revenue for robber baron local municipalities .

As usual, the only violence in Phoenix was perpetrated by the police.

As usual, you're less interested in the facts than perpetuating a false narrative. The cops were having rocks thrown at them. They ordered the crowd to disperse because they were going to try to shut down an Interstate. The tear gas came when protesters failed to comply.

So, three people threw rocks at armed police in full riot gear and hiding behind riot shields. Those thugs are lucky they weren't shot.

Would that hold true for all the "Drumph" and other names being used?

Do you see any difference between using a derisive name for a fellow poster with whom one is interacting, and applying one to a national-level public figure (especially one who specializes in name-calling himself)?

No, not really.

In either case it is an attempt to belittle someone and thereby weaken their point.
