      Actually, trans people have been more likely to be brutalized by police for a long time

        It’s a joke, at the LAPD’s expense.

      Can always count on conservatives to find a way to celebrate police violence.

        I assume it was a joke in poor taste. A conservative would have said it was a deep state plant or that they had it coming for smoking weed or something.

          I mean, every time conservatives get pushback for something they mean in earnest, it’s retroactively a joke.

                Dark humor is a thing even if you personally don’t find it funny…

                  Just because you find police violence against trans people to be hilarious, that doesn’t mean everyone must.

                    I never said I found it to be hilarious. Any other words you’d like to put in my mouth for me?
