@davenewworld_2 A prime example of why cops should have to carry liability insurance, like a Dr has malpractice ins. If a cop screws up, his insurance pays out, not the city. Screw up one time too many and a cop becomes uninsurable... can no longer be a cop.

@Rhendrix60 @RileysDi @lolennui The thing people don’t realize is that the US doesn’t have a “far left”. On the stage of world politics the “far left” in the US is actually center and the far right is insanely right. Only in the US are things like healthcare and education considered “radical left” ideas
