  Domestic terrorism.
context: Just waiting for it to be called what it is, an act of domestic terrorism. >
  
  Or you know, the FBI/law enforcement to at least get a fraction of enthusiasm they had for the "war on drugs", or other stupid stuff they loved. Blows my mind how little fucks seem to be given over straight up domestic terrorism. Why aren't they throwing the Patriot Act around and all that like they used to? You'd think they wouldn't need a formal invitation to do their jobs, especially on something like this where they might be allowed to access/use the more "fun" tools and such.
  Figures the time we're actually threatened they take a back seat approach. >
  
  I’m in Eastern NC & have been hearing that the Moore County attack was perpetrated by law enforcement. >
  
  Honestly wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Having known a few law enforcement, they're not exactly the stable types. >
  
  Ex-cop and now a fireman used to me my first floor neighbor in NJ. The guy plays music too loud that it could be heard from upstairs. The guy wanted to hang toys that are shaped like balls (human anatomy) from the back of his truck. The previous president of the condo association and a few neighbors didn’t like it, so they prohibited him from doing that using a by-law or something (I disagree with that decision btw). The guy sued the condo association and fought for almost two years in court about that. Whenever I see him in the stairways and said Hi a couple of times, he just ignored me (he didn’t to my downstairs neighbor), so I stopped greeting him afterwards. He would park his firetruck in front of the building to check on his dog/cat during the day while he is supposed to be working. Every time he makes such visit to feed his dog/cat, it takes about 30 mins and he and his firefighter coworker would just take it easy/slow while blocking a huge chunk of the parking space in front of the apartment. 
  Needless to say that the guy is very likely a stereotypical asshole ex-cop that we used to hear/read about (I mean there are very likely a decent amount of good police folks but I wouldn’t be surprised the profession draws a certain type of people more so than others. I also worry that when another insurrection happens, there would be so many cops, ex-cops, military and ex-military that it would be very hard to put down the uprising (my home country, Myanmar, always have been under military rule and people there know too well how police and army work together to suppress people there). >
  
  He probably didn't respond to you because you aren't white. I am half Irish and it really shows, but my name matches my other race and once some people know I am an other they treat me differently. Some people are subtle, some make tonedeaf remarks, some make racist remarks, some just avoid you. >
  
  Northeast US I assume? The racist attitude that has stuck around for a century+ in the US against Irish heritage feels so strange coming from the West Coast. Out there it was only the issue of "Mexicans" (Latinos). Is the Northeast really that exclusionary still? Kind of thought it was just a movie thing. >
  
  Its my non Irish side that is the issue. >
  
  Wtf. Why does this keep happening
