    So… I guess cops literally aren’t here to protect anyone.

    Whether you’re a kid in school, or a former president. Cops ain’t here for you.

      the most interesting thing about all of this is how no one’s really outraged at this colossal police failure, like they usually are. it’s like “oh… they dropped the ball on trump’s security? oh well shit happens whattayagonnado amirite?”

        We already know that cops are incompetent. We would just like it if they weren’t also doing the occasional murder.

        I mean, it’s his campaign’s decision to hold these giant open air rallies in unsecured locations. So… shrug

        Trump and his ilk are a big factor to why the police are like this so it’s a bit of karmic justice regardless of anything else.

      Yeah, that was shown in Warren v. DC, in 1981.
