Is this bad? Yes.

Now please read about Texas rewriting the US history to say things like slavery wasn’t bad and they got a lot out of it too. Or if you’re American, lookup the actual winner of the war of 1812 and why it started. And for that matter look up the real reason those founders dumped the tea and what that tax was for.

History is written by the winner. Always has been.

The US constantly makes everything illegal, then picks and chooses what it wants to prosecute for whom and when. It means you’re never safe. You can always be arrested or have your life ruined depending on the mood of the police, agents, and DA at various moments in time.

And these moods and choices vary greatly depending on your socioeconomic status and skin colour to name a couple things.

It’s a disgusting practice. Write better laws if you don’t mean it.

And cowardice bred from ignorance and stupidity. It’s not even that dangerous of a job comparatively. And many including myself believe it would be even less dangerous if they stopped arming themselves like they’re going to war.
