If your holding a knife and ordered to drop it you go home next day. You keep approaching your tempting fate. This was in Philadelphia nothing to do with us. How about protest the clerk killed in Ozone Park? No cause it wasn’t a cop that shot, right?
@The_artist_bklyn sure, if you’re a racist that makes sense.
This is the nonsense that’s just gathering more votes for Trump. Dems are gone too far left and letting criminals run the cities... bad bail reform.. supporting rioting, anti-police —we need actual law and order. Sick of this bs. I went from democrat my whole life to now voting red— and I’m def NOT alone in that switch.
@LanieSummers you sound slow
What do these cops have to do with PA? Nothing... these people are fucking ridiculous.
@hollydolittle he had a knife mate come on lad
At this point people are just bored
The new Ps5 is coming out soon.that will quite them down some.
