Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm glad, that was ridiculous af. I hope he never lives it down. Like that absurd acorn cop.
That said, please try not to throw edible food at people. If you gotta weaponize food, at least try to use stuff that is no longer edible.
Edit: I'm not being literal. I get it that food in bad state could be considered "toxic". I thought of making a clarification but I didn't want to make a disclaimer every single time I comment. 🤣 Ended up having to do it anyway.
I just think throwing edible food is not good. All the resources, work, time put into producing it, plus the fact that people go hungry every day... Idk. There's other stuff to throw.
Or use canned food.
Expired or clearly inedible, right?
Not sure that's a good idea. The cops will label it biological weaponry assisted terrorism or some shit.
Probably. Ideally, people shouldn't be giving them excuses. But if people are already at the point of throwing stuff, it shouldn't be edible food, in my opinion. Not when others are going hungry.
In Toronto we had officer bubbles, a cop telling protester blowing bubbles “if any of those bubbles touch me it’s assault on an officer” dude was a national joke
Dear god, i've been assaulted thousands of times and didn't even know it!
This is my metoo moment!
Does a subway sandwich qualify as food?
Yes.
Hope he's rethinking applying to law school. That's going to be one hell of a character & fitness story to explain...
I dunno... i think there could be an issue if you throw something like a moldy tomato at someone, that they could claim a health risk due to the mold for example, so might wanna make sure it's actually human safe, even if it's no longer worth eating.
