At first, I read that as you accusing them of being a stingy asshole chestnut tree and I was about to inform you that you were in fact talking to a lemon, not a tree ๐Ÿ˜„

Ever heard of the saying "don't cut off your nose to spite your face"?

What you're suggesting is like getting an NFL kicker to kick you in the balls as hard as he can to spite the yoga mom trying to slap you.

Nah, they know that an independent Palestine wouldn't play ball. The Israeli government would after stealing the territory, though.

Yeah, media portrayals and other cops keep attracting adrenaline junkies and people who want to control other people to the job and that's two of the absolute WORST traits a cop could ever have.

It fits IMO lol

Who ever claimed that?

A SHITLOAD of people.

It's essentially been the man's entire career

True. I didn't say they were right, just that they were saying it.

If he wasn't publicly speaking up early enough in this case, I'm sure it's because he was bending ears behind the scenes.

No doubt about it.

Not arguing with you, just sort of aghast that anyone (magas excepted - but we expect their opinions to be trash) would try to claim he's not a true servant of the people.

Agreed, though I'd add Neoliberals and people who don't have any ideals of their own but still like discussing politics for the tribalism and the mud slinging. Of course, there's significant overlap between these groups..

Yeah, and I meant to say as much. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough heh

That's how it is here in Denmark too. As usual, us Nordics do it the common sense way while US cops are pretty much as idiotic as they're malicious, making them doubly dangerous to themselves and especially others.

Not saying that German and Danish cops don't have their ACAB moments, mind you, but they ARE less awful (in part due to more and better training) and our systems constrain them much more effectively than the insane pro-cop US one.

Apology accepted. We all lose our heads or otherwise act stupidly from time to time. Realizing it and owning up to it is how you can tell the good ones from the bad ones, so you're good in my book! You have a great day too ๐Ÿซถ

Hot take: just like beard growth, ass hair doesn't show up until puberty and as such IS pubic hair.
