They know what’s coming. People have been insinuating that it’s time to start shooting back and I’m sure the smart ones are getting afraid. Yes it’s PR but they are also trying to save themselves from the inevitable consequences of these actions.

There is nothing I can think of that could repair their reputation and they can’t fix such a widely broken profession quickly.

Another day, another 2.8 people executed by US police. >
