That’s not entirely the reason why but yea, I get it. https://twitter.com/cernovich/status/1266212194187911168
Talked about this the other night: no reciprocity. Why defend people who won’t defend you?
That mythos of “sometimes they make mistakes but it’s a hard job & they are keepers of the peace” is rapidly fading even on the right.
Look at the cluster fuck of many (not all but many) political rallies: total failure by police.

They don’t keep the sides safe. When fights break out, only the right side faces any consequences for it.

Most infamously when the cops purposely threw the two sides at each other.
They were supposed to defend people’s rights.

Let alone their separate beef (often unfounded but not always) with blacks.

The pandemic harassment for the conservatives.

And then the left who throw bottles of urine at them.

That’s almost everybody covered w/ some problem.
Pro tip: you could at least treat one of these many factions out there decently enough to have an ally.

Fucking them all over at the same time isn’t doing you any favors.
It’s like upside down world. The right leaning people don’t support the police? How could this even happen?

That’s how bad it’s gotten. That’s how badly they’re screwing up.

That constituency is a gimme.
Even being treated fairly would have been ok (probably) to keep them in your corner, but you could have had a wink & nod deal (a deal the left imagines you have anyway) & look the other way when ass beatings happen & call it a day. But you didn’t. You bit the ppl who support you.
How hard is this?

“People who are throwing urine at me or the people who chant ‘blue lives matter’ on the daily? Hmmm. Better come down like a ton of bricks on the latter. I’m sure the former will never do anything like burn down a police station. This is a smart decision.”
Legit tho: this is everything from the actual right all the way to just the normie cons.

The way police have treated this side of the aisle (especially given their rabid support for the blue & the other sides utter contempt) is worthy of top 10 anime betrayals. Unconscionable.
