("Even if there was an actual threat, you only need one cop" / "Oh, okay there were protesters there, but there are way more cops" / "Okay, there were lots of protesters but THE MEDIA were covering it up" / "Why don't cops do real cop things, even though ACAB and there are no real things cops can do" etc)
people who bring up 'waste' don't say things like "MY tax dollars at work", they talk about "taxpayers" as some abstract other group they heard about once as a useful rhetorical citation
