I’m not a criminal but I can envision the current ovettaken country sending their goon agents after me.

I would feel much more sorrow having to stab a police dog than a government jackboot agent.

Hope it was a double tap, just to make sure.

For those who do not live in WA, the dem lead congress and gov passed the most progressive’ (ie f——k’d up) ‘police reform laws’ in the country on July 1 2021.

This also just happened in Fresno a couple of days ago.

In most cases, either way you’d likely end up dead.

Seattlites will feel more compassion for a stabbed dog than stabbed officer. Chances are the citizens will let the officer off should it go to trial. DLM.
