Anyone with eyes can see that those killers are guilty. You don't need to split hairs on that, you can look at the video yourself.
As anyone else, though, they constitutionally deserve a fair trial where the onus is on the state to prove that guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, before they can be sentenced. My assessment of their guilt has little bearing on the state's ability to do that.
Proving that guilt would be trivial if the federal government weren't actively complicit, by preventing such a trial from taking place. There's no need to cover for it, it's behavior is unconscionable and treasonous.

- vkou 3mo agoThere was a protest in Texas. Some protestors set off fireworks into the air. One protestor brought and shot a gun at a cop. He got 100 years in prison. Everyone else who was there got 70. One person in their signal group, who didn't even show up to the protest... got 30. This is Soviet Russia, or Putin Russia-level insanity. Punch a fascist, go to a camp. A fascist punches you, he gets a medal.

- trollbridge 3mo agoI’m not really aware of any country when you can expect to shoot at cops, or be part of a group engaging in that activity, and not expect a harsh response from the state. Shooting at cops is not a good way to protest. I don’t think any of that is comparable to Soviet Russia, though.
- vkou 3mo agoDo you think 70 years for an unarmed person going to a protest where some other asshole shot at a cop is justice? That is five times the average American sentence for murder.
