Brickbat: Police Story

Andrew Fung, an adviser to Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, posted a photo to his Facebook page of a person he claimed was a police officer who had been beaten by pro-democracy protestors. The person in the photo was actually an actor in makeup for a TV show about zombie cops.

Why are commies so obvious when they lie?
Because they typically have the power to force you to claim to believe it. Once communism sets in, its inherent authoritarianism reshapes a society to accept total rule and to discourage independent thought.
Communism is the antithesis of curious, rational behavior, and therefore it is particularly distressing to see academics apologizing for it.
"...authoritarianism reshapes a society to accept total rule and to discourage independent thought."
Contemporary feminism in a nutshell. Hell, that is every leftwing cause in a nutshell.
Because while this specific cop wasn't beaten and this story is technically false, the cop and story are representative of the overall atrocious behavior of conservatives, I mean "protesters", and is therefore really true.
Progressives and communists love fake but true.
yes,but,but commies know what their doing.
Progressives and communists
You're being redundant.
"Progressives and communists love fake but true."
Fake but true, what was the bullshit the lefties here tried to explain away using that argument? I forget, but I remember that they did.
progs are to,but,they believe their lies
Forensic SCIENCE!

Thanks for the Hat tip... Jerks
I posted this like last week.
Don't take it to hard my reptilian friend. They claim you have to email them with the story to get a hat tip. Now what is that email address you might ask. I've no idea and thus the hat tip remains elusive.
to too
Or +1 O
My guess would be that it's the e-mail on the "News Tips" link at the bottom of the page, or hitandrun@reason.com . But that's just a guess based on context.
Just the tip...the news tip.
Just this once.
Just to see what it feels like.
#NoHatTipForYOU!
Thanks. I don't see it on the mobile.

Are zombie cops cops who police zombies, zombies who are cops, or zombies who police zombies?
