Not an error. The place is basically a hill of capital.

It’s just honoring police by using their color to divide everything in place of one of the stripes for founding states. So a sort of symbolic “police state”, if you will. Nothing fascist about that!

My ex being a cop, this thin blue line shit and the Blue Lives Matter site were major instigators in turning him into a paranoid freak who thought everyone was out to kill him and his kind. I tried to figure out who was behind the Blues Lives Matter site because it is so well done and supposedly some grassroots effort to just support cops because they are so wonderful. It’s so sad from the point of view of someone who loved a police officer to see how these organizations are creating an environment that makes them feel so separated from the people they are supposed to be serving.

Before major protests, there are consultants to give speeches about how the protesters are carrying “homemade pepper spray” and “wrist rockets” and can expect to kill 1 or 2 up to 5 police officers this time. I can’t find a source for the last part right now, but … ah, here:
Alluded to in the unreliable Panel 3 Final Report:

Now this encourages the police officers to use violence to put down protests. Tactically, that’s a win for the department, and strategically, contributes to the attrition of an entire movement, one of the reasons the left is weaker now.
I’m just trying to see the sense of using the same strategy to encourage violence against a wider range of civilians, instead of only protesters.

What the heck is he even talking about?

All that violence. Like… uh… taxes. Yeah, there’s the ticket. And, uh, slow-moving legal battles. And questioning whether politicians will protect their own party or act in a way that’s good for their country. And, uh… what were we talking about again?

If we’re not so lucky, this is the cue the militia types have been waiting for.

He’s saying that his followers need to kill us because… apparently we’re plotting to kill them?
A similar subplot occurs in Dollhouse. Or the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. An ad to this effect is stochastic terrorism.

I recognize many of the events/people mentioned, but I definitely need to read more on some of this history.

And let me tell you, the police in Chicago continue to be violent and cruel, especially to blacks.

I think that’s what these organizations want. The police to feel they are above the people. That makes it easier to order them to fire on protesters or POC’s or immigrant families.

They are the true victims. Just like the Nazis were the victims of those awful Jews.
