The officer was previously disciplined 4 times for other driving offenses, but killing someone - well - $35.50 oughta cover it.

Fuck the police. But also maybe you should talk to someone about that inner violence..

Maybe we should talk to someone about open corruption infecting every corner of local governments and enforcement agencies.

Okay but seriously consider the other suggestion as well. Don't just distract yourself like this every time these problems come up. It's important.

Distract myself? My guy, the world is burning, those with power are openly corrupt, we are literally just missing the seventh horn. I'm not running out in the streets ice picking people. I have people that rely on me. That doesn't mean I'm not filled with rage every time I see another rich cuck whose leaned the entire system in his favor get exactly what he wants at the expense of us all for the 450th time.

You're just doing it again. You're looking for ways to justify and distract yourself from very unhealthy patterns of thought, even as they worm their way the very justifications and distractions you employ. Listen to what people are telling you.

I'm never going to be okay with our society setup how it is. So that people in power are allowed to leach from whoever with impunity. Simply because they can. Thats fucked up. I will never accept it. There is no healthy thought pattern that comes to acceptance with that reality. The wretched accept a bleak tomorrow.
