    Seems like people might be tired of bad apples. Maybe if we didn't use bad apples to enforce laws people might respect the lives of police a bit more.

    But really we are on our way to ED209.

    Raise your hand, anyone, if you find this surprising.

    No? No one? Didn't think so. Me either.

    The tribalism is strong in that one.

    Didn't you twist yourself like a pretzel trying to defend the cop who shot a caretaker for an autistic person? :marathon:

    Don't recall. If I did, it must've been because the cop's decisions were defensible.

    See, I judge individuals by the facts, not by the groups they're in. I'm not a tribalist.

    Wow, if this keeps up there will finally be more on the job deaths for law enforcement per capita than say... delivery truck drivers.

    But not quite yet the number of fatalities per capita on the job than garbage men.

    And nowhere near loggers or fisherman.

    Surely you're not painting people with broad strokes, because I know you argue against such rhetoric.

    So no one is going to point out that there's probably a base rate fallacy here?

    In all honesty it seemed pretty obvious and I just assume anything posted by @Chaos Descending is an intellectually dishonest load of chicken little crap that should just be mocked because anyone with a brain is simply going to recognize his falsehood. It is not that I always do that, but I generally have to want to hear the sound of my own typing (which I had already enjoyed enough) to respond to such a thing. The topic bored me a bit also. Really, to think Amaris was actually cheering for people to die is a huge lie about her motivations. If it was me then one might assume such things, but not Amaris. That is like pretending pinkie pie is trying to shut down parties.

    Is that actual punching, or the kind where it's a "microaggression" in your "safe space"?

    You mean like domestic abuse?

    The cops laughed in my mom's face multiple times when she called about my brother's tripping balls but wouldn't remove him because his name was on the lease

    When a luney ass woman who had been evicted from our apartment complex smashed the windows of the old 75+ year old couple a few doors down from me along with mine and several others, the cops treated them like criminals who did it for insurance money.

    Fuck.
    The.
    Police.

    They are useless unless you have $10 million in your bank account.

    Why yes, I do believe he did.

    Even taking all that at face value, your interactions are limited. At most, you could claim those particular cops did not resolve those issues to your satisfaction. To insist they are all complicit is just mindless generalizing, and to pretend you would never call them is laughable.

    Right, because of the boxes checked by my race, my life has been solid fucking easy street. Or wait, is it because I haven't willfully fucked myself over so badly that I wound up a homeless addict? Would I earn my "genuine adversity" credit then? :jayzus:
