I feel like Trayvon might not be the best example there, but I approve of the sentiment. I would have used Tamir Rice, who was only 12 and summarily executed for playing with a toy gun - in an open carry state.

The phrase exists because even good cops protect bad cops. As long as there is a "thin blue line" protecting lawless corruption and human rights abuse among (what may very well be a minority of) officers rather than a culture of equality under the law, the phrase is relevant and legitimate.
An excuse to be a moron. Be a moron if you'd like.

Naw, trayvon is perfect. If you make exceptions for human rights based on some character flaw (perceived or otherwise), you can make exceptions for ANY character flaw. Something something defending scoundrels and all that.

Character doesn't enter into it. IIRC he punched someone in the face and triggered a deadly response in a state that allows it. That was cause and effect, despite our objections over the legality of the reaction.

Tamir Rice was simply a kid playing with a toy, no attack on anyone, and was shot within seconds of officers arriving on scene.

I think you and I differ on the meaning of 'perfect.'

So YOU followed them around and found them all to be corrupt? Hmm? Yeah, nice logic.
No you claimed to know how most of them act just because you have a few friends that are cops, like people act the same when they are at work vs. hanging out. Meanwhile cops everywhere get away with blatant murder and the few that try to speak out about it get ostracized or worse. They are literally trained to treat every citizen encounter as if we are all dangerous serial killers just waiting to get the drop on them.

Something been nagging me about that cover since I saw it the first time, just dawned on me what it is.

His Triumph

Das Triumph

--- the f' sound at the end of Triumph and the play on Trump<>Triumph.

Das Fuhrer

Queue in the color scheme and what do you have.

What do you have? Conspiracy whatever. That shit right there is not accidental.
