Lol then the video footage of the cops going and just sitting in their cars would sure make them suicidal. Oh shit speaking of hysterical liberals..
‘You’re f***ing weak!’: Enraged leftist goes off on police during protest at Trump Tower
"“Have a f***ing backbone!” she yelled, motioning her hand at the cops and appearing close to tears.
Then apparently one of them — or maybe more than one — really offended her.
That’s right, folks: The dreaded eye roll.
“You roll your eyes because you’re f***ing weak, because you know you’re wrong, ’cause you think you’re a man and you can roll your eyes at a f***ing young woman!” the woman screamed. “Roll your eyes!”
Lol but wait...the same woman appears in *another* video also getting triggered by cops at the event:
"But this time one officer wasn’t silent. In fact, he had a little bit of sarcastic fun with her and several other protesters.
“I sold my soul for a badge,” the cop said pointing them down the sidewalk, cracking a slight smile. “So you have to keep walking.”
Sadly, that same woman who screamed curses at police in the first video apparently didn’t get the cop’s joke in this one.
She slowly repeated the phrase back to him in near horror, as if she couldn’t believe he actually made a deal with Satan: “You sold your soul for a badge? You sold your soul for a badge?”
😆

Dude needs to be tossed into a pit with a Balrog.
I'd also be okay if you replace Balrog with the dad of Legolas, cuz that guy was a huge dick.

That's cool, you can say the same applies to me. It doesn't make what I said any less true. Anyways moving on...should statues of FDR be taken down? The whole Japanese internment thing and shiznit.
Case in point... "freedom of speech" was stifled during WW1 and people were literally sent to prison for speaking out against the war, IIRC.

He is just one example really of this kind of nonsense. You see the excuse was people just want to get rid of statues of "American traitors". Confederates. I don't think anything with FDR should be taken down.
Whoopsy, last year leftists were trying to get statues of Jefferson taken down. They had problems with places named after Warren G Harding as well.
So I feel Trumps questions about "What about George Washington? What about Thomas Jefferson?" are still valid.
EDIT: Now the cops are claiming they are gonna go after the folks who pulled down a statue, but I will believe it when I see it.
Lincoln memorial was also vandalized.
I don't really care about taking Confederate statues down based on the "treason" angle, as the movement has long since been squashed and poses no actual threat, so I could see southerners wanting to have figures from their history venerated even if they were Confederates.
The thing for me, though, is that the Confederacy basically represents slavery to a lot of people, especially black people. People will argue day and night about the "true motivations" of the Confederacy, but I'm still convinced that a large matter of concern was that the growing abolitionist movement which was more prominent in the north was going to eventually force the hand of southern slave owners to give up their slaves.
In addition, there was a pretty fierce disagreement between southern and northern politicians over how the newly acquired territories would be divvied up: slave or non-slave.
This might sound like a minor thing, but keep in mind that plantation slavery in the south had pretty well dominated the landscape, and southern plantation slave owners were very keen on the idea of expanding the enterprise into new territories.
So with all that said... I could sympathize with black southerners who don't really want to see a statue of a man who fought to keep them in chains. I know that you can't know that's what his actual personal intentions were (and in some cases they surely weren't), but just the symbolic message it sends can be pretty divisive.

Indeed and slavery is wrong and I can see why people wouldn't like it. But then technically, statues of any slave owners should be wrong. It doesn't matter if they ended up dying before the Civil War happened.
