The three words "I Can't Breathe" refer to what some police brutality victims, like George Floyd, Eric Garner and Manuel Ellis, said before their untimely deaths at the hands of law enforcement.

Poor piggies don't like the reputation they worked so long to earn.

I read the article twice and still have no idea if this display was a cop trying to be funny or a citizen trying to make a display of protest.

Or a cop trying to paint themselves a victim.

And why are they allowed to waste taxpayers money investigating a non-crime? Is it because they were insulted? They need to grow up and put their big boy pants on.

Their big boy pants are too small to fit over their big boy pull-ups.

Hate crime against the swinekins ☹️.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 1 year ago

Comparing the disgusting, mud-swilling, squealing big fat lazy slobs to poor innocent pigs is the real hate crime.

More likely it's their costume for false flag events where they cosplay as human beings but use it as an excuse to commit heinous crimes so they can blame "cop haters"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

this is not representative. the pig is what's underneath the mask, the human mask.
