Should be easy to beat this and not worry about being identified and sued.
I know it will be hard guys, but how about:
"Don't be a power tripping asshole"
You see people holding signs?
Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.
You see people marching?
Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.
You see reporters documenting it all?
Don't be a power tripping asshole and shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them.
"Don't be a power tripping asshole."
Also, “Don’t violate people’s constitutional rights, which you must have at least tangentially sworn to protect and uphold.” 🤷♂️
another way to phrase it is "do your fucking job"
The job of the police is to protect capital.
"You hear them boys?! We are not to humiliate those idiots! LIVE ROUNDS BOYS!"
but what if they glare at me very menacingly, surely I can then shoot tear gas, pepper shot, beat people, and shoot non-lethal rounds at them, right?
they're lookin at me Sarge. with their eyes.
I don’t think the people you’re asking to not be a power tripping asshole understand that combination of words.
So, shoot live rounds, then?
