Yo esperando mi delivery de pollito
Imagen de un hombre mirando por la ventana. Lo que es más interesante para mi es que alguien @truly.goldenn comentó “Yo esperando que los policías paguen por sus delitos contra la gente.” Muestra que la reacción de por lo menos de una persona no fue reírse, pero decir que ya es tiempo que la policía está transformado. Que no podemos seguir aguantando el asesino hombres y mujeres por el mismo estado y sin justicia. -
