In a better world, the cops would have given a shit and tracked down the assholes threatening a TV meteorologist.
“It was ‘I am going to kill you’ written in a very deliberate way in a long letter and followed by obsessive emails,” said Gloninger. His critic demanded that he “go the hell back to where you came from DOUCHEBAG!!!” and demanded “what’s your home address, we conservative Iowans would like to give you an Iowan welcome you will never forget.” The emails attacked Gloninger for pushing a “liberal conspiracy theory on the weather”, calling climate change a “Biden hoax”.
Cops will never help you
They will too.
if you are rich, and connected.
They don't see the poors as anything more than peasant stock to get their jollies from, though.
Cops have helped me.
Woah slow down, we're supposed to be hating cops right now so we forget about the rich exploiting us, stick to the program man
I think a lot of the current wave of cop hate in the US is driven by state actors on social media. The Kremlin and CCP want to exacerbate tensions in the US and Europe, so they develop extremism on social media in order to divide people.
That person was given a small fine... That's the kind of shit that should land you in jail.
Unbelievable. I hope these terrorists are treated as such and removed from this country. They don’t belong here.
