It kind of sounds like a form of exposure therapy.

I was not able to read this, as I am an idiot, but I upvoted just for the effort.

Cops in the USA, as well as being scum, are terrified. The population has almost no access to mental health care, near unlimited access to guns, and many reasons to not trust the police. The police are also trained as "warriors" instead of guardians with a us vs them mentality. I'd imagine besides the legal ramifications, Uk and Eu police are just not as scared shitless and therefore don't start popping off when an acorn hits their car or a 13 year old has a stick.

Howard Zinn's People's History starts by describing the early years after the colonizers appearance. It's a tough read.

That's a good point. I buy most of my produce at small natural food stores. It's normally better, but more expensive for sure. Yeah supermarket produce can often be a let down.

It's not just China. The USA is working on it too.

He'll probably get a big payout from the taxpayers, and the crooked cops will just keep on copping.

Especially one that is currently collaborating to help carry out a genocide.
