    I agree about blanket statements and calls for death, but it looks to me like this meme is just calling cops trash.

      Some people can’t accept that other people don’t respect the regime authority. Mocking pigs to some is in off itself is offensive so original commenter using generic “violence is never right” argument to justify his reaction of distaste for OP.

      You correctly observed that he misread the meme, just reflexively responded as a bootlicker.

        Not really, I just don’t automatically wish death on people as a default state. They’re still human beings. You’re just trying to stir shit up for no reason.

          There was no “wishing for cops death” until you brought it up. Everyone was just happily calling them trash until you came in here with assumptions and all this violent malarkey.

              You’re extrapolating your own meaning from it, you’ve had 3 separate people telling you “I don’t take it to mean this” and yet each time you’ve tried to tell them how they mean it this way.

              You’re pulling info that confirms your bias and ignoring actually testimony from multiple sources otherwise.

              You can’t reason away other people’s thought processes to say they mean this, the best you can do is say, I took it as this, because of this, and I don’t like it.

              Police officers (trash) are taking a dead police officer (trash) out of the building.

              Trash taking seats trash out.

              Trash taking itself out.

              There’s no death wishing here, just that if an alive cop is trash, a dead one still is. That’s the only thing being said here.

          They’re still human beings.

          There is plenty of human beings that would improve the world by kicking the bucket.

          You’re just trying to stir shit up for no reason.

          They are stirring shit up to, I assume, advocate for change.

          That’s very likely the point of the post: to stir shit up.

          And there’s nothing inherently wrong with that.
