    Have none of you any empathy? What about the feelings of this cop who had to shoot one of his brothers because the cameras were on, did you think about that?

      I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it’s a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole “brotherhood” thing is performative. I’ve had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can’t wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.

        I used to regularly visit a kava bar that happened to become a hang out spot for cops and military people. Honestly they didn’t seem that bad. One guy would come in every day for a kratom we’d take shells together. He played Slay the Spire on his switch, would ask for tips cause he kinda sucked.

        Really they take easily impressionable young men and through the system mold them into something toxic. We become the roles we play. Shakespeare or something

    On the one hand, the usual American Police Brutality. On the other hand, one Trump-loving criminal less on the street.

    I don’t feel good that this was my reaction, but I stand by it:

    I guess this is the kind of shit that happens when you ask the Monkey’s Paw to be pardoned on your last wish…

    Oh so these guys supported Trump after all? Whatever happened to them being Antifa and BLM?

    When Trump sent his mob of terrorists into the Capitol building to stop Democracy, he wasn’t sending his best and brightest.

    Hmm, interesting.

    So I had Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes tonight. Anybody else have anything good?

      I tried making hamburgers with ground goat, just for the hell of it. They were surprisingly good, the meat was too lean for a good hamburger though.

      I grabbed fast food and ate in the car. It’s the saddest dinner I’ll have this week but I do it every Monday so I’ll have enough time to shower and play with my dog for a bit between getting home from work and my weekly D&D game.

      I made a vegetable stock from scratch with onions, garlic, carotts, parsnip, olive oil, salt and pepper, added a potato for the texture and once done completed it with cream, sour cream, mushrooms and green peas.
      Finally I added some carob gum, because it was intended to be served as sauce rather than soup.
      The side order was basmati rice.
      Can’t say that I was disappointed.
