❝Cops, Karens, and the Coming Dystopia❞ by Foundation for Economic Education. Out of Frame
Comments“It's a scary time in America. In the last few weeks, we've seen police violence, protests, riots, snitch lines... all framed by the backdrop of a viral pandemic. It's not hard to see that a lot of people are hurting and angry. It's also not hard to understand why.
