That needs to happen next. Assault is assault.
Oh shit, not all cops are ba--
...oh. It's just for show isn't it? Nevermind.
If they literally stop them from abducting and deporting people it's not all for show. Why can't people on this site ever say hey, that's a good step? You're so all or nothing, it's tiring.
Hey Minne PD, Lemmy says "Not good enough!", so fuck it.
This is only a symbolic gesture until we see actual literal results. Those results are already questionable because we know they won't be arresting these criminals.
I'm not sure what you see this officer having done other than talk about encouraging his officers to do part of their job or risk losing it.
This isn't actually doing anything. This is barely an announcement of public intent to in the future do something. Every time the police don't do something will be evidence that this was full of shit. If an officer does something as a result of this order it can't even be praised because of what it's taken to force them to do it.
They aren't actually going to do it though. This is all marketing and public relations nonsense. This is purely performative. If I'm wrong I will be so happy to be wrong.
Because everything is absolute. Purity tests are exactly that. It's not pure. Therefore we rail against it.
Democrats? Ho ho! SO not pure. The Constitution? I laugh! Created by slave owners! Don't even get me started on our MAGA parents. The time of purification is at hand!
But we're not allowed to say that unless we face the horrifying charge of being boot lickers. And the fact that it's literally russia's playbook for destabilizing the country and installing a demented rapist puppet is insane conjecture. Nothing to see here. Squirrel!
Because they're still literally not doing their jobs.
As an example, let's say I flip burgers for a living. You come in to my restaurant and order a cheeseburger. I then proceed to slap a hunk of raw ground beef and a slice of cheese down right on the counter in front of you. That'll be $8.50, pay up.
You aren't going to say "that's progress!" you're going to say "that's not a fucking cheeseburger".
Same here. Yeah, it is progress forward from the literal nothing that they were doing before. It still is not satisfactory progress that satisfies the basic job requirements of their chosen career.
you can’t apply group behaviour to single events… it takes time to change human behaviour in a group - especially when it’s politicised behaviour … if every restaurant were serving raw patties and raw was incorrectly politicised as “healthier” and then 50% started being cooked you’d say that’s progress… it’d remain horrible, but it is indeed progress and clearly those doing better should be congratulated for somehow managing to get their shit together even a little bit
But it literally is progress if every restaurant you go to and order a cheeseburger says "Fuck you, I'll take my $8.50 and you have to leave". There's a weird presumption here that you could go somewhere else and get the whole burger just how you like it and you absolutely can't.
A better analogy is that you go to a chain restaurant and the regional manager comes in to spit on your food and undercook your patty but the franchise workers say "we might let you under cook it because you're sort of the boss, but that's as much lenience as you get".
Not perfect, but still city or state action against the Fed is progress considering the group of people who are officers at any level are probably closer to homegenous than the regular population.
I can cook my own burger and that's the direction "justice" is going if shit stays on this trajectory.
You sure can. There are two things I can't say about that though:
Trump and his MAGA machine definitely want to see local law enforcement (particularly "blue city" cops like Minneapolis) fire the first shots at National Guard, it lets them enter a new form of oppression. Arresting National Guard would be received as an act of war, and everyone involved here understands that.
Hahaha fuck it must be tiring.
Yeah, but these are cops we’re talking about—they’re conditioned to escalate at the first sign of noncompliance.
Can you really picture a cop physically intervening, being pushed aside, and saying “ok, never mind”?
I mean, if the other guys scare them...
Holy shit the hopium you that keeps people going... 🤦🏽
Cops are not going to get physical and escalate with ICE, stop it!
Probably not. But I can imagine an ice agent getting physical with a cop.
Generalizations get tiring after high school.
generalisations shouldn’t be applied to individuals but often hold true for groups… a non-trivial number of US police officers escalate situations if they aren’t given “respect” and compliance. that is a fact… when applied to a decent period of time, over a city full of US police officers, escalation is all but inevitable: not for any individual, but the group
Availability heuristic. You don't hear about the thousands more peaceful altercations. The only ones you hear about are the violent ones which, surprise surprise, are more likely to get shown in the media
Well yeah but there are wayyy too many violent interactions
Also during every violent interaction how many “good cops” just stood there and watched?
40% of cops admit to abusing their partners lmao
It’s basically safe to assume if someone wants to be or is a cop they’re really just an actual psychotic criminal underneath
Gonna have to provide some statistics buddy. This is just polemics from you
Fuck the fucking pigs. Guilty until proven innocent at this point. I give game wardens and postal inspectors a pass, I guess.
I hope most of them die in a fire and it hurts the whole time.
I had a dear friend who was gang raped by sheriff's deputies. I reckon that's just an anecdote.
Unless this happened in a third world country, i reckon those cops would be in jail by now.
Condolences to your friend
lol cops routinely sexually assault and murder people in America
You are delusional and probably a nefarious actor
Dude he specifically used the word "gang-raped" not "mild groping" or "gawking". I don't think it's far-fetched to assume those cops are now behind bars for GANG-RAPING someone
Uh cops RAPE people in America and get away with it all the time
Where the fuck have you been for the past however many decades you’ve been alive?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankin_County_torture_incident
that’s not relevant though… in a situation where you only need 1, you only need 1
and the statement had nothing to do with individual officers, so you can’t apply it to individual officers: the group that is US police officers frequently escalate situations… individual interactions are irrelevant to that statement
so … nothing but a reminder that all cops are indeed bastards and pussies.
