Protestors Storm Capital

[Rev. Rye]

"Thought the cop was a member of antifa".

As if that"s an excuse.

As if a member of antifa would becalone among this crowd of scum.

Or wear a vest that clearly says "POLICE" on it, especially since, IIRC, Antifa tends to hate the police. And given that the article says it had "METROPOLITAN POLICE" and there's no room for "METROPOLITAN" on that vest in the photo I saw, I can only assume he was wearing something that signaled he was part of the police multiple times. And I'm sure if we knew more about the exact chain of events that led to his death, we'd probably see more signs that he was a cop that he somehow missed in his search for Antifa to kill.

It's almost like one of those times on The Boondocks where Riley hires Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy to menace someone, explains in no uncertain terms who they're supposed to be targeting, and they still get it blatantly wrong. (Like the time they kidnap Maya Angelou because they thought she was Oprah, even though Riley told them exactly where she was, including a sign out front that said “Welcome Oprah.”) At least assuming that they haven't gone so far off the reservation that assumptions that would be common sense among moderately well-informed people get tossed out the window. Which, given that they were most likely convinced that Trump won the election in a landslide and the Biden campaign somehow stole the election, is very likely.
