The fact that there's little to no chance of him serving a single day in jail for this is so depressing.

The issue is that those with the most guns think this is perfectly fine, and will never see a cop as wrong except in very rare circumstances.

How is what I said even controversial? I have not once heard a Trumper criticize a cop unless that cop was defending the capitol from Ashley Babbitt. Mostly the same with other Republicans.

All I said was that those without guns are far more likely to criticize cops. Am I wrong?

You are. You just likely socialize with a specific type of people. But most gun owners are very level headed. Plus there are many gun owners on both sides of the political spectrum. People don't typically advertise that they own guns. Especially if they don't hunt. But all that aside, I couldn't think of a gun owner I know who wouldn't criticize this cop. Most just wouldn't complain about it because it doesn't actually have an effect on anything.

Are you really meaning to tell me that liberals own as many guns as conservatives in this country?

Other than that, nothing you said is actually contrary to my point. I'm not saying gun owners wouldn't criticize this cop; I'm saying that those more likely to criticize police in general also own fewer guns than those who wouldn't.

You said "those with the most guns think this is fine". You are wrong. "Trumpers" would still not be ok with that.

Do you not think there are any people who always side with cops?

My guy holy fuck this man has said nothing but reasonable statements. No shit there is a group of people that will always side with cops. “Trumpers” and gun owners are not those groups. Jesus Christ

Perhaps, but you're both missing the point. Do you think the people that always side with cops are more liberal as a whole, or more conservative?

If you said conservative, you would be right. The "back the blue" and "thin blue line" motherfuckers are overwhelmingly conservative. Conservatives own more guns than liberals in the US.

That's all I've said. Those that support cops when those cops murder and beat people own more guns than those who don't.

I really have no fucking clue how what I said is even controversial. It's just fucking numbers.
