    Can you blame them? Could you imagine if he was able to get away with killing them by letting them bleed out after taking 10 minutes to cause thousands of tiny puncture wounds without anyone that didn’t have a gun being able to do anything about it?!

    Do you know how many cops die from forkings every year? Well… neither do I, but it’s probably a whole lot.

    Typical anti-cop sentiment from around here.
