Re: Running over a Cop with your car is 'compassionate'

Well, apparently the "mostly peaceful" marxists were out by the thousands last night in Minnesota hunting Fed LEOs on the street with death and violent threats. They were going inside of hotels looking for them. To what end? Given the overt threats of violence and death I'd like to know wh...

Re: So - we arrest Maduro and bring him to the US....?!?!?!

This seems to be unprecedented....arresting a nation's "leader" (even a nasty one who got there via election-fraud) is something I've never heard of before.

Talk about 'regime change'...!!!

Re: They keep saying another 'Civil War' is at hand....(Babylon Bee)

Walz has activated and staged his National Guard to "assist" local and state LEOs. Since the local and state LEOs have been told not to support ICE and other FEDs, I can only imagine what their standing orders are. The Marxists, I'm sure, are hoping for an incident. :evil:

Re: Running over a Cop with your car is 'compassionate'

In Cooper's day, Marxists were not taking pics of LEOs, doxing them along with their addresses, and their families, and calling for their execution. At least not in the USA. The vests and jackets they wear clearly and boldly ID them as LEOs.

Sorry Street but can’t see that as an accurate assessment. Maybe you need to watch more video views. The officer in the path was almost certainly reacting to the vehicle coming at him. What likely happened was she was focused on the officer at her door and gunned it to get away. She likely did not ...
