For being a criminal or by being a grifter?

I'm not arguing but there was a clear delineation where it went from like 20s outlaws to like 1990s pop culture criminals.

They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians.

He was seen positively by the public because, during robberies, he burned mortgage documents freeing many people from their debts.

Shit seems relevant.

It's funny because 2010 internet would have tried to find this guy no matter the circumstances. I'm glad the enamor of social media has worn off so that "not your army" is completely internalized.

I'm not afraid of elons followers. I'm not afraid of trumps followers. I'm not afraid of anyone followers. There is so little we have control over, I will allow them none of my respect. Not even respect for how their stupidity may end up costing their own futures. Though, that amount of stupidity is outstanding.

In this scenario though there is a media frenzy so it plays into everything heavily. You got money coming in from the outside so police feel the need to defend themselves on the world stage. No doubt, though, that horrible shit happens every day that gets overlooked. Thinking of Bianna Taylor getting shot by the police while sleeping in her own home. Just recently cops in Missouri shot a baby and her mother on a domestic disturbance call.

Police either get lucky and solve a crime in the first 48 hours (if they are even trying) or they move on. Otherwise they are out on the streets bullying people trying to give the illusion of order.

Truthfully though. We give them too much responsibility. Every emergency dial 911? Like from heart attacks to killing sprees and your going to send the local high-school rejects in?
