    I’d never trust a cop to do what’s right for the people but god damn I hope you’re right.

      It has nothing to do with what’s right for the people but more so doing what’s selfish. They’ve been fucked over too so I doubt they’ll put much effort into this.

        I hope you’re right but I will never underestimate a fascist’s desire for power. Kill this guy or frame a scapegoat and you get money, promotion, worship from the common fascists. Maybe even a ghostwritten book deal and get millions.

          Oh I’m sure there’s someone who wants to get the fame for killing modern day bin Laden (omg what a sentence). But I think the majority of the rank and file have had negative experiences themselves with the health insurance companies and don’t want to do more than the bare minimum in solving this.

          Maybe I’m being biased and hyperbolic but this is the most unifying political event I’ve ever lived through and I lived through quite a bit of major political events now. Only the most pearl clutching of false piety liberals are condemning this… nearly everyone in this country has had first or secondhand experience of being fucked over by health insurance.

            If we’re still talking about the same guy I prefer modern day John Brown.

            This is truly the most unifying thing. I wish it had happened before the election but I doubt it would have changed anything. I want to hold onto this feeling.

              It wouldn’t change anything. This is working class revolt, and both political parties are led by members of the ruling class. Republican and democrat leadership are equally scared I bet. And their donors even more so. This was an attack on them.

              (You’re right John brown is more apt, but bin Laden had seal team six)

                Holy shit I hope you’re right. This needs to be the spark. We are many, they are few. The military and police together are only 1% of the population. The billionaires are a fraction of that.

                Yeah I hope the Democrats are scared into running a democratic socialist if we ever have another election. I vote for the bastards for harm reduction but I hate them. Not nearly as much as I hate the Republicans though.

                  I don’t think the police give a shit about the killer of this CEO. The cops don’t get special health care they’re in the same system the rest of us are in that denies their loved ones care.

                  I’m less certain of the military because they have their own healthcare system. But even then they have non military friends and family getting fucked over.
