      Second of all those fat loser fucks would be beating the person in the second panel.

      One popular move employed by city cops is to steal all a homeless person’s belongings and trash them right before a big freeze or rainstorm or heat wave. This deprives the homeless population of protection from the elements and increases the rate of homeless death by exposure.

        There was a Duke Nukem game where all the cops were literally pigs. I thought it was satire/fiction. How wrong I was.

      It’s such a disappointment. We try to build a system with people to entrust our well-being to and help those in need, but it always goes wrong.

      From ancient times and the king’s guard, to modern cops in some town. It always becomes corrupted.

        “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.”

        —Lord Acton, Letter to Bishop Creighton (1887)
