Snowflake? That would be you. I'm not getting my panties in a bunch over a couple of burnt out druggies. The crooked cops were forced to return and face criminal charges and that's fine with me, too.
You're the one acting like we live a police state and/or that most police officers are corrupt. That's kind of hysteria one expects from a snowflake.
Reality isn’t a place where you spend much time, is it snowflake?
