Being so far away with a huge military insulates us from the consequences of our actions abroad.

Ffs this is not twitter, the point of communities is you don’t have to read about topics you don’t care,
I know! It’s super annoying when people do not conform to the stated rules of the community they post in!

Such my fucking mood right now. Last half of the last day of the holiday weekend was ass, and sleep was absolute ass, as if the world conspired to ensure I could not be allowed to start the week with a good night’s rest.
As a result, after several interruptions, have been awake since long before my alarm went off, and just sitting here with a black cloud over my head. In precious few minutes, the weekly grind will begin.

Yep, I spent all of 2020 watching police escalate and beat protesters, all with maga yip yapping about cities “burned to the ground” and insisting that what I saw with my own eyes was not what I saw with my own eyes.
Won’t ever look at cops the same again. I was already beginning to realize they weren’t like I was raised to believe (in the bubble of privilege I grew up in) but 2020 made a lasting, permanent change.
I treat every single interaction with police, no matter how casual, like an event to be exited as soon as possible, and as if it could turn violent at any moment.
Police testimony without bodycame will = hearsay when next I’m called for jury duty.

They gotta feed the “he was no saint” narrative. (Not that I, nor anyone else, ever said he was…)

100% acknowledged! I did momentarily struggle with that, but it’s a high traffic community and doesn’t have a rule disallowing such posts, so I tried to focus on that.

Loose fit for this community? Maybe. Never hurts to have a reminder though, given that Trump is undoing all the federal police reforms proposed as a result.

There seems to be some debate on that, but he definitely wrote a song in 2017 that should have been released a couple of months ago. 😁

That’s dedication to one’s self-sabotage.
Self-sabotage? This will be the best sex that person ever had, or, something.

It’s literally the reason the cover exists. To entice you to judge it positively and pick up the book for a closer look.
Whenever I hear anyone say that, I conclude it’s one of those things that somehow meant something slightly different when the phrase was coined. Either that or we’re all just a bunch of goobers.

Regardless, if he had someone in his life to guide him in any way, I can bet that’s not the approach he’d be taking. This kid landed here by neglect, I guarantee it.

I kinda feel like this is a sincere attempt to improve his chances, and while yes I see the creepiness, I feel a bit sad for him also.
Willing to bet a makeover would help him more than anything he puts on a shirt, and no one in his life to tell him that.

I didn’t suggest there was, but I’ve rephrased my point about as many times as I’m willing to already.

While that fight should continue, society has more mundane tools to ostracize & make people’s lives hell.

I’m not a defender of the concept of Qualified Immunity, my point is that it’s not an absolute shield. Even if it successfully shielded them from 100% of civil rights cases (which it objectively has not) it provides no protection from criminal charges.
I won’t argue against the idea that it covers them far more than can be rationally defended, I’m just saying it’s not an absolute shield, and (in my opinion) there is every reason to imagine that the specific group we are discussing here will routinely violate the rights of the people they detain in such an egregious fashion as to satisfy even that narrow range of criteria in a higher than you might expect number of civil cases once this is all said and done.
