The people screaming that cops have extremely dangerous jobs are invariably the same folk who don't support gun control.

Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) December 21, 2014It wouldn't be so easy for folk to just walk up and shoot cops if we didn't allow our citizenry to have the same firepower as the cops.

They put all their weight behind obstructing gun control, then complain when crazed psychopaths kill cops in the line of duty. No.

Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) December 21, 2014If any of these idiot jackasses actually cared about the cops, they'd get behind taking some of these 400 million guns off the streets.

If a crazy black guy kills someone, all black people are guilty?

Yet they don't understand the terror of black people when it comes to cops.

White people are NEVER asked to apologize for white men who kill cops. #BlackLivesMatter protesters shouldn't have to apologize now, either.
