They were protecting their own.

"Don't worry. This is for show. I'll take you to the station for an hour or so, then we can head to the bar."

They are the police!

No doubt

Face it, Cops are Right wing, some extreme, Who would they support?

Left leaning anyone suffering the full extents of the law? Should anyone be surprised?

I’m not.

Made the mistake when I was a teenager of arguing with a cop & pissing him off.
I consider it a youthful learning experience.

Officer Friendly, indeed

I’ve had some run ins with the police as a troubled youth. Crime happens whatever. It’s different when you are an activist. It’s like choosing to make enemies with the police. I’ve had Enough experience to know that I don’t want to make them my enemy.

My run in was about a girl I was dating and her unruly Uncle, might makes right. Especially when wearing a badge.

Yikes, I’d say you dodged a bullet!😮

Truman. 1948. History. Look it up.

Just ignore him. His MO is to spout bullshit and then run away. I've challenged him before to provide actual facts from actual sources, but crickets. Typical child like behavior

Must be nice to ignore actual history
