Wait, was this an unrelated high speed chase which found its way to a "protest", or were the sounds of sirens I heard towards the end before impact just police pursuing the car after it breached their road closure?
Not directly related: I saw this flash by on twitter before the trending tab gobbled it up as unimportant:
Apologies if this is late, I searched obvious keywords an it didn't seem like it got posted.
The main takeaway being that the Third Precinct being abandoned was part of the plan.
I cannot begin to describe how fucking pissed this makes me given the trickle down impacts across the country.
We've fucking seen what these goons do when live rounds end up flying their general direction, the scatter like goddamn cockroaches. Even when they outnumber the shooter 20 to 1, someone get shot and they're just fucking gone.
If around 120 rounds of live ammo are spent there, maybe 5 "protesters" die, a couple dozen more injured, but I can't think of a reality where this isn't immediately offset by other localities following their lead and "protesters" being put in their place.
Any reality I can imagine following this scenario is better than what we have. My thinking being it pushes the commies to "one up" and get the local socialist rifle association to activate and start shooting...which uncuffs the cops and lays bare the plan, or this causes the "scatter like roaches" mentality to kick in with less dominant shows of force thus largely limit abuse to obscene water bottle contents and verbal abuse directed at officers.
