Heard of a few people claiming to the police they couldn't breathe
next they are goin to say anyone that supports luigi is a terrorist
I'm surprised they haven't already. They have said things like calling this extremism etc.
Unfortunately, that may backfire worse than they think it will. The moment they identify supporters of what he did as terrorists, then a lot more people suddenly become immune to further propaganda towards terrorism.
The smart thing for them would have been to shut up about it.

what a great way to drum up support for more police funding and invasive practices
Fear from above is quite entertaining. Next up supporters of Brian Thompson seen with halo's and walking on water.
Oh gosh, wouldn't that be just the worst thing.
Shooting up courts and cops would accomplish very little. They're, well, made for that kind of opposition. The reason Mangione's attack has been so high-profile was because he picked a high-profile target that is NOT made for that kind of opposition. If he'd killed a cop or a judge, it'd've maybe caught an eye or two on the national news before fading away, and accomplished nothing besides. Anyone hauling off and killing a cop or a judge as an attempted copycat is just wasting their time, and their lives most like.
Just a bloodless observation, of course.
Hell yes. More please!
Cops aren't rich.
If they don't get in the way of reclamation, they have nothing to worry about.
well if they're talking cyber only maybe i could see it, but the people working in our courts aren't part of the problem Luigi lashed out against.
unlikely.
fearmongering maybe.
