The irony of the HN crowd struggling to direct rage at either cops or Elon is hilarious. Moreso HN crowd "supporting police" is quite frankly the very definition of cope.

I'm somewhat moderate and I definitely do not trust cops and do not appreciate their presence in my neighborhood or around my home. I get it, it's a hard job, but at least attempt to solve heinous crimes - for instance, a robber shot a handgun 12 times and the police simply threw their hands up saying "yeah, we just cant find that guy" even though a neighbor had clear video evidence of the license plate and individual attempting to walk up to their garage.

I'm not seeing a lot of struggle here in this thread. Did you post this on the wrong thread? At worst, I'm seeing some people have an opinion, others disagree, and most of them manage to stay above the quality of your opening sentence.
"Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." It's reliably a marker of bad comments and worse threads.
