People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

This is the case where the police union official said that the victim's life had "limited value" - https://publicola.com/2023/09/11/write-a-check-for-11000-she-was-26-she-had-limited-value-spd-officer-jokes-with-police-union-leader-about-killing-of-pedestrian-by-fellow-cop/

If good cops existed, they would shoot these guys.

The second you say a person's life has limited value, your life becomes limited in value.

Which is exactly why I'm against the death penalty and in favor of legalizing and taxing recreational drugs to fund rehab. I don't care if you're the Dalai Lama or a homeless drug addict, every life has equal value in my eyes.

I'm definitely in the camp of "I'd rather let dozens of crooks walk the street if the alternative is sending a single innocent man to the gallows."

Just to shake the wasps nest, what about Nazis?
