The US DOES bomb its own citizens, cops have 0 issue with leveling half a neighborhood.

My closest city had homeless living under "THE bridge", and nobody even noticed they were there because it was so overgrown, and they typically avoided the closest road because it has no shoulder and ~~they're easier for people to justify running over~~ it's a dangerous road. Then one day a local reporter did a story on the city's growing homeless problem.

The city's response was to clearcut the underside of the bridge, fence off the entirety of it, and send dozens of cops to LITERALLY beat them out of what scrap of home they had if they didn't move fast enough. Cleared the shelters with construction equipment.

City officials were applauded for solving the problem.

I will not weep for them when [REDACTED] ███ ████ ██ ████ █████ ██ guillotines.
