I still am having trouble comprehending that we are in a timeline where our own police are gassing US citizens. Don't they all take an oath to 'protect and serve'? Who do they think they are protecting and serving? We the People, that's who. That includes someone who is peacefully protesting these federal lawbreakers and oath breakers.

Never trust the police, kids. Especially in America, where standing court precedent holds that the police are neither required nor expected to know what the law says.

Did you miss the part where they regularly KILL citizens?

They have always, since their inception, protected and served wealth and privilege, and they've always been willing to gas, torture, kidnap, or murder people to do it.

Only some police departments have such an oath, and frankly, it's just words.

Laws and court precedence matter. And the police are regularly defended by both, regardless of guilt.
