Perished in an officer involved shooting; was once suspended in elementary school for violent drawings and anti-american sentiment. Officer whateverthefuck received 3 weeks of paid leave.

Whats wrong with anti-amaricanism? They claim that you are "free" to protest and then do stuff like this. Sadly it was paid leave.

Nothing. It was a public elementary school; besides teaching basic skills, they also incentivize obedience and patriotism; it's why we have to recite a pledge to some rag on a stick every morning before we even know what the significance of a "pledge of allegiance" is.

America was founded on hypocrisy. And genocide. And slavery. And just about anything else an anarchist would be opposed to.

Sadly it was paid leave.

What's sadder is that cops pay no sort of penalty for murder. Even it was unpaid leave, they'd return to their job eventually.

It's actually a pretty lame story. A friend and I decided that for recess we'd sort of LARP a made up war; he was America, I was France (I don't remember why); I drew a crude sort of propaganda thing of my armed troops (stick figures with guns) marching with tag-line that went along the lines of "tactics to crush American swine". He got caught with his, which lead to them finding mine, the next thing I knew I was called to the principal's office, suspended, and had to endure lecture after lecture which culminated in my mom having me watch a documentary about some kid getting falsely imprisoned for murder because he drew scary pictures or some shit. In retrospect, I believe that my unusual name and racially ambiguous looks coupled with post-9/11 paranoia are what caused the staff to flip the fuck out.
