The cop at the protest yawns, unslings his 40mm LMT™ weapon, loads another rubber bullet into it, looks around the crowd for another reporter, aims, and shoots her in the head.

Idealistic youngling: "Wow, that cop just shot a woman in the head with a rubber bullet, he could totally be charged for that!"

Americans are cowards. Period.

The constitutional right to be ARMED TO THE TEETH and they’re all pissing their pants in fear of… losing their jobs? They literally sat there, watched the worst of humanity seize power, and spent their political capital trying to limit their ability to fight back.

They deserve whatever they get.

It certainly looks as though they've pretty thoroughly shat the bed. I suspect they fell for their own propaganda about all the freedom and how they're the best country in the world etc, forgot that those are just words.

To Americans, their national heroes are just Disney characters without families, jobs, or dreams who never actually had anything to lose and whose victories were guaranteed.

After "shoots her in the head" you forgot "poses for the cameras"
