    This reads to me as someone who has personally experienced cops not being there to protect them, and has had a hard time processing that.

    E) I didn’t notice the combat veteran sticker before, but this is an understandable “type of guy.” They did a tour in Iraq, then came home and found out that the america they killed scores of Iraqis for was one that had youtube videos of american police not protecting their kid(s) at Uvalde with the sound of children’s screams removed on the cnn coverage.

      the sound of children’s screams removed on the cnn coverage.

      They actually did that? That’s so fucked up. How does someone censor something like that and live with themselves afterwards?

        It’s hard to find an appropriate link.

        I was being flippant invoking CNN, I think it was the footage provided without that audio; but it was fucked up.

        E) Not that it was fucked up to remove the audio because it’s fucked up to hear children screaming or whatever, but the fact they had a graphic stating that it had been removed, or even showing the footage in the first place, I don’t know. It’s all fucked up.
