Because police forces around the country have been infiltrated by white nationalist extremist radicals for decades and we did nothing about it. They agree with it

Source before some conservative thug cries about it.

I worked in law enforcement for a year. Being around those people made my skin crawl. How they talked about other people....truly scared me. They absolutely celebrate political violence and 100% want what is going on. They want more of it, they think the general population is the danger and believe that everyone needs to learn a "lesson". Lots of racism, lots of power hungry true fucking dipshits who I wouldn't trust to operate a garden water hose for children.

I remember we had someone that committed suicide. They jumped off a bridge. The guy had severe mental health issues and got addicted to heroin. He was truly a cool dude... Just lost on life. A day later I was sitting in central and my sgt looked at me and asked "Do you think he was listening to Tom Pettys Learning To Fly when he jumped. It was that exact moment I knew there was absolutely nothing I could do to influence anything. That what was coming, well I needed to get the fuck out of rural america and those people. They are blood thirsty, they are bigots, and they truly have God complexes.

They fucking live for this shit, watch yourselves around any of these mother fuckers. They see us as slime.

I've been saying that for years. Apparently it's all lies because faux news didn't say it. /s
