Yeah. Doesn't matter. They're convinced it's always self defense or the victims fault. You cannot logic these people out of their emotions.

Ffs the fact I even forgot this obvious point because so busy being pissed at the blatant lies, fascist takeover, and murder.
The tweet is from 2023 and still relevant 🙃
In my eyes the role of the cop is NOT to punish. The cop is there to stop the bad situation and bring them before the PEOPLE. They will decide guilt and the judge will decide punishment.
Would be cool if they were trained in de-escalation.
It's the whole point of the Defund The Police movement, as every time a cop showed up, they only amplified the violence and threat.
Someone off their meds, get the cops called, and now you have a dead person.
I always liked the idea that got thrown around during the Defund the Police movement that every cop should be partnered with a social worker skilled in psychology. Basically for every brawn is a brain situation.
Wouldn't be perfect(nothing ever is) but it would be a hell of a lot better than now. Though I suppose it's all moot now that America has gone full NAZI. Now the only things that will make a positive change for the people is physically removing them from this earth until the government fears the people again.
This is exactly how the principle of separation of powers is intended to work. 😇
That's the fairy tale we teach to perpetuate the ugly reality. Since the late 19th century the police have evolved to replace the privatized security wealthy magnates used to have to hire at their own expense.
Instead of spending a small fortune to hire the pinkertons or burns security, the wealthy of America developed a way to socialize the expense of systemically abusing workers and protecting the status quo.
It's pretty obvious what the intent and purpose of police really are when you look at the chain of custody of people facing trial. During the process of arrest and sentencing, police officers have the lowest education requirement but the most leeway to influence your future.
Prosecutors, clerks, and judges all have set rules that dictate the limitations of their decisions. However, the police have the ability to simply not arrest anyone, or arrest a completely innocent person. What else is an attack dog without a trainer or leash but a weapon of terror?
MFs think they're Dredd.
MFs think…
You’re giving them a lot of credit here.
Oedipus a hell of a drug.
I once read a novel written around the time of the Kent State killings.
It was a potboiler thriller by a gunloving conservative writer, Donald Hamilton.
In it, a government assassin bemoans the sheer incompetence of the National Guard troops.
Violent fucking lunatics. The US policing system is utterly fucked, and effective paramilitaries like ICE doubly so.
they think they're judge Judy and executioner
I can't decide if this pun is intentional or not 😂😂😂
The system is working as intended. I wish it were not so, but that's reality. The cops have always been about killing poor folk and minorities and anyone other than the rich and powerful.
But muh toxic masculine vigilante movies!
The bootlickers will happily die on their knees knowing they complied so hard and were as non-resistive as possible.
They seem to get off to being cucked by cops
Ah to be a bootlicker.
Phase 1: "They have a criminal history/illegal."
Phase 2: "They threatened our boys in blue!"
Phase 3: "They should have complied."
Phase 4: "Well they shouldn't have been there."
Phase 5: (leopard ate their face)
Sad that this needs to be said :/
3 year old tweet. It was bad then and has only become worse since.
It's an efficient process though. Once you're identified as guilty, you can be removed as an obstacle.
Oh yeah. Now you only have to change the interpretation of guilty.
if you weren't guilty, why would you be dead, huh? checkmate, libtard! /s
Eh, you get removed first, being identified as guilty can come later.
No no, don't you see, the act of the killing is how they identify people as guilty. It's like wave function collapse in quantum physics — or "Schrödinger's criminal" to put a pithy spin on it. Because the police only kill bad people who deserve to die, then anyone who is alive could be good or bad, but we don't know for certain until the police kill them. If the police accidentally shot at a non-criminal, then they'd be fine — the non criminal body has ways of shutting that whole thing down
(I really should have to say this, but the internet is dark and full of bootlickers, so /s)
Once you're identified as guilty
If only we had a process that would be due for all people... Oh well, just let the cops decide I guess because they've never fucked up. Smart.
Then where would the ~~profitable incarceration enterprise~~ prison get its slave labor?
Ross must go to jail for this. If not this might be the start of the Great Uncivil War.
If we continue this way, maybe we'll even get to "all life is sacred" and "thou shalt not kill"! 👀
What kind of liberal nonsense is that?
Hear hear.
