The answer to the problem is within the words copied above
I keep asking myself why are the boys in blue getting knocked off/shot?
I cant believe these horrible people would dare defend themselves while the cops use a forged legal document to claim authority to enter a home and use violence in order to kidnap and steel from the residents.
Cops are such piles of crap i actually am siding with heroin dealers. Lol
They’re using it to their best advantage, too…

Funny how Gimaldi’s speech sounded just like what a lot of non cops are saying. “We’re sick of it”, etc..
Typical of a devil to turn the tables.
