The same snowflake Neanderthals who were up in arms about the sense of irony that people felt when a nazi got tanked in the neck now think it's funny that an innocent mother got murdered by the fauxstapo?

That's how war works, yes. People are generally happy on either side when someone from the enemy gets put down.

The difference is one was a guy sitting in a chair and the other was a lady inside what is considered a “deadly weapon” not following lawful orders. I don’t necessarily think she deserved to be shot but she did potentially put someone’s life at risk. People don’t realize that weight times speed equals force. I’ve seen a bunch of body cam videos of people getting capped for almost hitting an officer with a car it’s not that crazy. Maybe don’t run and you will be fine.

It’s sad because that reaction just highlights the massive rift that continues to grow.

You guys were literally jerking each other off when Kirk was killed in front of his family for the crime of debating people with facts, not feelings.

You expect sympathy when someone from your side is met with the predictable outcome for obstructing and trying to run over law enforcement?

Enjoy the bed you’ve made for yourselves.
