Authorities *should* be afraid to escalate.

Authorities *should* hesitate in crucial moments.

Authorities *should* be in more danger than civilians.

If they don't want to be in more danger than civilians, they need to see if the Post Office is hiring.

If our authorities exist for the protection of the people, then the laws should exist for the protection of the people, not the protection of authorities.

If the law exists for the protection of authorities, then the authorities do not exist for the protection of the people.

its reprehensible. its blatantly illegal, reckless to the point of outright depravity, for the government to reflexively defend every outrage committed by its personnel prior to gathering the facts. to spit in the faces of its citizens and blame the people it mows down in the streets. fucked
