Do you know what the most dangerous Halloween costume is?

[awesome31312]

In America, the most dangerous Halloween costume is one that reflects powers beyond that of a regular human, a magic suit that grants you the authority to rob, murder, or kidnap for unspecified durations of time ANYONE you see, powers so unique, that you can punish someone just for questioning you.

It's dangerous dressing up as a police officer for Halloween, because you can get shot for impersonating a police officer.

Haha, this is so funny.

Not so funny. And the not so funny part isn't the part about how cops are going to start to be taken out, (as the saying goes) by an angry public. The not so funny part is that the Federal Government just might step in to protect the cops, by declaring martial law.

What would happen if martial law were declared over cops being executed? Who knows for sure? But it might include a complete fall of the United States of America. Why? Because the people and their guns out-man and out-match the military, especially with most of our military being overseas, and especially with a whole lot of the military that would join the ranks of the fighting civilians in one of a multitude of ways.

This might severally disappoint you, but the vast majority of the population does not want to kill cops or overthrow the government. People want stability and prosperity. American society epitomizes both. The public is not so angry that they're going to rise up and start 'taking out cops.'

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is standing up to their fascist police forces

The American people are too drugged up thanks to their food, making them docile

Monsanto and the cops, conspiring together since 1776 to make you fat and complacent.

Now that is legitimately funny. I also like this one, although sadly not Halloween related:

Halloween is actually one of the more dangerous times for many people because there is a legitimate reason for people to be wearing masks, so it will not raise a lot of suspicion when people are 'running' around in costumes that hide their identity.

I think the OP's example is an isolated incident as many people dress up as cops and very few end up getting shot
