The pigs shouting "ON THE GROUND" to a person who is actively burning to death have got to be the finest example of cop brain. Everything's a threat.

I kind of wish this troop would have done something like sabotage or leaked Intel like Chelsea Manning, but I'm also not gonna deny the bravery involved. Free Palestine. Death to America.
