Editorial cartoon sparks outrage among police "To Serve and Protect"

[Know Growth]

Who was the FTU cartoonist long established with FTU?....Gamble?

I've got a special edition Gamble- he sketched it out on the inside cover of a FTU event booklet,just about the time of Ed's departure.
The cartoon was about the FTU itself.

Gotta find it in the files,learn how to post images here.

^I blame the criminals.

Well I don't think its fair to describe every policeman who shoots another citizen as a criminal, downtown brown.  Surely many of these acts are criminal, but many aren't.

That's not even close to what I said.  The previous post seemed to blame politicians for the increase in crime. I just said I blame criminals for crime.  The cartoon, I say again, is outrageous.  Cops are not the problem.

Except when they are the criminals.

The real problem with the cartoon is that it's not clever at all and not even remotely funny. I've seen Banksy works with more substance.

This. Its just a bad cartoon (with a clear bias/agenda, which was poorly executed). I've seen memes from high schoolers on 4chan that are more clever than this.

"Blackie"?? :/ I think the last time I heard that anywhere was a Droopy cartoon from the 1950s.

Wrong again when it comes to cops that shouldn't be cops this cartoon hits it right on the mark.
