Some of those that work forces

I just noticed the leader has an stg44. That's either the best smackdown I've ever seen or blind luck.

They tried that shit in Australia today. Hundreds of supporters showed up and shouted down the four proudboys.

Some of those...

Reductive is too big of a word for cops
Tyrann01
When funds were cut for Police in the UK, tons of the far-right joined them. This is why public services need proper funding.
SoberAndBored
I'm English. You fuckers threw us out for WAY less than this.
certainlynotaserialkiller
i was raised in places like this. if you found a nazi, KKK, proud boy or whatever you also just found a cop.

Police protecting the LGBTQ community? People are forgetting who was opening attacking them during pivotal gay right moments in the past..

I don't disagree with the conclusion, but that is not a sound argument.

Cops enforce laws, written by bribed politicians, that protect the property of the ruling class.
ATLandNerdy
Cops enforce laws, when they feel like it. They have no requirement to do so.
praxis17
Don't forget protecting property
Ironbunny
This is something gun owners have known for a long time.
darthnerdus6236
Police protect capital, not people.
Frogapus
The eventual irony of having John Krasinski present this idea.
SerenePrincess013
It's even in their warning. "Anything you say or do can & will be used against you".
Rogahar
The police are just the private military of the rich and powerful. This is why we say ACAB and Defund - the current system is too rife >
Rogahar
> with corruption and too gripped by the whims of the wealthy to be fixable. It needs to be torn down to it's foundations and rebuilt.
HeyQueef
Some of those that work forces
CactusFantastic0
Sadly it would seem that its most* nowadays
NoodleKeeper
Too many of those that work forces.
ATLandNerdy
One is too many. It should be disqualifying, not a prerequisite.

True enough

Hardly. 1st, you can't kill a ideology by killing it's practitioners, 2nd, intolerance is in no way limited to fascists.
threenotch23
But yet that is the very principle of anti-terror warfare. Hmmm… Al Queda may still be active somewhere but not to the extent it once was.
NonstopRampage
Where are the mithraites then? Also, if you think being intolerant of genocidal tyranny is a bad thing?
Hyzenthlay021
Sigh, the fact that the mithaites are still remembered means the concept is not dead, and I find your straw man argument offensive.

May I ask who those ppl are or why this is important?
RevRagnarok
"God" told her the power would go out for the drag show in NC. That's the sheriff who said "I talked to her it's all good."

They think she's related to the power outage that was deliberately caused to prevent a drag show. 1/2

Get a locally community armory up and running that can provide protection, like the john brown gun club have done for a few queer events now
casbott
The John Brown Gun Club has been suspended from Twitter since Elon's buyout …

I love that it's named after John Brown. He was an amazing dude

I love John Brown the crazy bastard, glad there are still some zealots on our side.

WhyDontYouMakeMe
As long as its well organized, it's your 2nd amendment right to form a militia. Form one based on securing equal rights and show up in gear
kerrigan778
For the record, the wording of the second amendment does not list a well regulated militia as a prerequisite for the right to bear arms.
kerrigan778
It is a very common misunderstanding based on the English used in it being very unusual nowadays.
kerrigan778
https://firearmslaw.duke.edu/2021/07/the-strange-syntax-of-the-second-amendment/
kerrigan778
And due to it being an amalgam of many different related rights in various state constitutions.

As a medically retired police officer, I bitterly approve this message. ACAB, babies. ACAB. Be safe out there my siblings.

My husband is a former AF police officer. Decided to get into contracts (procuring). ACAB.

Forgive me, what's an ACAB?

This is gorram hilarious, but I can also see it being worn by cops...

All Cops are Bad/Bastards.
RevRagnarok
Curadh
Yep. I largely don't cleave to the label, because I made mistakes too. I just know I was trying to do good. Part of why I retired.
dasklaus
The worst thing is when someone shows a cop saving a puppy or being friendly to someone as proof that there's good apples, too, but 1/
PaintedSlate
RevRagnarok
"Copaganda" - NCIS, Blue Bloods, a billion other procedurals...
Curadh
YES. This drives me FUCKING NUTS.
CantStopTheRock
Or they're using shit for good pr. Like how they abducted that child once from the car as they arrested the mother for no reason.
GanondorfLink
Arrested and beat the mother for no reason.
CantStopTheRock
I mean... it's kinda implied isn't it?
dasklaus
so many cops are nice to some folks and not to others, or nice on their good days and violent on others etc. They're not mutually exclusive.
Curadh
Agreed. I knew a few who were in the news for their "good deeds", but were utter shitbags.
RollToSaveAgainst
It's like the nice grandparents that were part of lynchings when they were younger, but don't have the strength to do stuff that anymore
fractalsphere
Speak out. If you were a cop, it's up to you and others like you to tell the truth publicly.
Curadh
I have, and I do. I don't have a large outlet, nor a public reputation such to make an impact. Part of why I retired.
ChrisWsrn
If you are in a department ran by pigs there are serious consequences for speaking up. Most good cops retire or become feds.
WhyDontYouMakeMe
There are real repercussions for people who wear blue and speak out. Almost as if the culture of policing is meant to create bastards
ShamanSam
I wish I could remember where, but I read something that compared how police forces behave to gang behavior, and it was scarily similar
Curadh
Scary part is, it's in the training. "We are the biggest gang," is a direct quote from my academy...
solarshado
"Police gangs" are apparently also a thing...
WhyDontYouMakeMe
If you're talking about the LAPD, they formed a street gang of officers who "enforced the law" as a gang
ShamanSam
I think that was part of it, though I did find an Honors thesis from Seroyah Williams at Georgia Southern University about this, from 2016:
ShamanSam
https://digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1231&context=honors-theses specifically pages 10 through 19
nullbr
that leads to suicide, and the worst kind, with 8 bullets to the back of his head
WhyDontYouMakeMe
It's usually being sent alone to dangerous calls and not receiving backup. Or just day to day harassment and fucking with pensions
DSREX
Retired police can also lose their benefits from the Police Union if they speak out. The code of silence damn terrifying.
Etherealvalentine
The truth is more important.
Curadh
If it helps at all, I did, and I do. I have been punished for it. My wife and I barely pay the bills because of it.
Lortzaplortz
The truth is more important than any one of us. Unless any one of us is ready to die for the truth we all deserve to live in falsehood.
Etherealvalentine
I think the truth is more important than anyone's life. Apathy is equivalent to evil. Those who remain silent are more than complicit.
Etherealvalentine
I would never make the decision for anyone else, but I will always point out right from wrong.
Itslukus
I mean objectively it's easy to say that, but like even jesus' didn't mean shit to anyone at the top incitng change and he spoke the tru tru
Etherealvalentine
It's not easy to say. I think the truth is more important than anyone's life. Moral choices are hard.
TheRealBigChungus
Hard disagree. The death of a good person reduces the number of good people who can fight safely. We need everyone we can get.
Etherealvalentine
No one's life is more important than truth. How many good people are left, if everyone alive is silent in the face of adversity against evil
RussianMathNinja
I don't disagree, but that's a lot easier to say when it's not your head.
Lortzaplortz
And that is why no one stands against these things, those who believe it keep it in their heads. Omission of truth through inaction is worse
Etherealvalentine
It's hard to say no matter who it's about. Moral choices are hard. I would never choose for anyone else.
Vallete
Oof dude, when its your life you can say that, you don't get to make that choice for others.
applesforjuice
Exactly. Not to mention it goes nowhere when someone speaks the truth. One guy saying this is bad might make the news for 5secs. That's it
Lortzaplortz
He wasn't even telling other people to do anything, just a satement. No choice made for others, just an example of thought.
Etherealvalentine
I think the truth is more important than anyone's life. Apathy is equivalent to evil. Those who remain silent are more than complicit.
Etherealvalentine
If the world is only full of people who put their own lives ahead of moral goodness, no morally good people are left. Oof, indeed!
livingonagiantfireball
Thats the reason why this world goes to shit, because of that mentality, do nothing and it gets worst for the whole population.
Rogahar
You're not wrong, but that's not a comment you can make when it's regarding someone else's life.
Lortzaplortz
It should be said more often, because as it stands no one is willing to fight, and truth is in short supply.
Etherealvalentine
I think the truth is more important than anyone's life. Apathy is equivalent to evil. Those who remain silent are more than complicit.
