    Clearly, the solution is more cops. /s

      Well yeah: more cops means more arrests, which means more prisoners, which means more slave labor.

      Remember the 13th Amendment:

      Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

      No sarcasm tag necessary; that’s what conservatives genuinely want.

        If the US wasn’t spending more on its military, than the next 5 nations combined, it would be considered a terror state that belongs to the axis of evil and would be sanctioned into oblivion.

          I think you mean if the US had not become the global capitalist empire after the decline of the British Empire.

      No, the solution is announcing there will be more cops, and then cutting policing budgets

    If only it was that simple, problem is it isn’t just the one person who doesn’t understand how that could (and should) happen (and can be easily targeted, and still should be even if it isn’t that easy), but all those “aspiring” to be like them, who will jump to their defence in a flash (not only verbally, but in their voting and other support of the existing system) and frame the people asking for our human rights to be respected of being the aggressors (this is a feature, of course, fuelled by the billionaire-owned media)…

    If those people can be made to see the reality, we would be unstoppable (again, why there are so many resources being invested in that not happening).

    The last panel never happens, the rich are enjoying their gated communities and private luxuries while the poor blame each other and tear themselves apart instead of teaming up against the rich, because the rich own mass media and has brainwashed large swaths of the public.
