I thought we didn't like cops anymore?!?!?!

Sorry, but you chose to protest the police murdering someone on video.

Saying police brutality is bad means you are no longer entitled to protection of any kind.

There is no nuanced stance where we can support good cops but not bad ones. It’s all black and white! Maga again!

Welcome to the jungle baby

Why were the cops even called? I thought people wanted them defunded. Careful what you wish for.

Were they wrongfully murdered by police?

Oh, no? Doesn’t really relate to George Floyd’s murder I guess.

See the protestors are protesting his murder, not all crimes that ever happen. Wow you’re REALLY out of the loop, google his name.
