It may not be money involved here. It may just be that the job of police officer turns you into a bitter, bigoted, authoritarian who is open to outright fascism.

Sin verguenza. Un tipo malo y un hombre que solamente tiene preocupacion para su propio bienestar… que aparentemente olvido ya los esfuerzos de montones de personas que lucharon para los derechos no solamente para la gente de color, pero tambien para la gente mundial.

Which is really saying something, since Officer Tatum’s regular beat is in the Licorice Woods where he has arrested Lord Licorice several times.

Apparently we’ve reached a point in our culture where the word “racist” is now considered to be a ‘hateful slur.’ I think if you’d talked to white, southern racists a few decades ago, or if you talk to anyone in the KKK today, they’d say that of course they’re racists. They believe or did believe that they are acting to protect their race from the evil, degenerate, lesser people in the other race. They are or were proud to be racists, and wouldn’t have considered it to be an insult in the slightest.

So, I guess we’ve made some progress that should be celebrated when the word racist itself is now, finally, properly, taken as the horrible insult it’s fully intended to be.

Bravo.

Maybe if thousands and thousands of people are willing to show up someplace and call you a racist, you ought to at least have a moment of introspection to think about why they’d be willing to leave their homes in their own free time and show up at a rally for you simply in order to do that. Yes, there are always crazy people shouting crazy things at public rallies (well, except for at the Clinton or Sanders rallies), but when this many people are going out of their way to call you something that is not just broadly insulting, but is a very specific insult and charge, maybe you ought to think about that for even a second.

But of course, if you’re Donald Trump, then you don’t really care what people call you as long as they’re calling you something.

Tatum even said he was afraid he would be sucker-punched in the face and feared he’d need to punch someone else in self-defense.

So you believed you needed to preemptively punch someone before they had the chance to punch you.

Yeah, you should not be a cop.

Tatum said that he felt “extremely uncomfortable” with the protesters’ language, signs and behavior, calling them “evil.”

So Tatum has no problem with the 78 year old Rump suppoter that said “Next time, we might have to kill him.” Said about a Black man who was exercising a right to protest and was subsequently sucker punched.

That’s not hateful, dangerous or evil. No. That’s fine.

“I gained a lot of respect for Donald Trump,” Tatum said. “I think that if you want to know the truth about stuff, you got to examine it, you got to physically show up."

@Unabogie I think you’re right about that. It wouldn’t matter if this cretin saw Rump in person or not, he’d STILL be inclined to support a fascist personality.

“Tatum, who is black, said that he felt the protesters escalated things to the level of violence and blamed them for the tone of the rallies.”

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan

Arizona Cop: Anti-Trump Protesters Most ‘Hateful, Evil People I’ve Ever Seen’

More hateful and evil than murderers? Rapists? Child abusers? Kiddie porn sickos?

These suckers NEVER have a problem with dangerous, racist sh*tstains like Rump because they never believe they’ll be on the end of the chain being dragged over rocks.

Until they are because they no longer serve their masters’ purposes. And then it’s just way too late.

EDIT TO ADD: Much like Stacey Dash, when he looks in the mirror, he sees “one of the good ones.”

Obviously there is no IQ test for getting a job on the Tuscon Police Force.

A teachable moment at a Trump rally.

“Tatum, who is black” - Cause
“said he was afraid he would be sucker-punched in the face” - Effect
