I'm not sure who really knows.
Seems like you say something that only 70% agrees with a given statement and you must mean you 100% don't agree and people start concocting what they think you believe in the other 70%.
10 years ago I was an anarchist idiot for wanting to deconstruct and rebuild law enforcement.
Now I'm... what? A racism or corruption supporter idiot for believing some parts of that system can be salvaged.
If there's anything that can make me become uninvested in any cause it's social media.
I chill on the shroomery because it's not very social mediay but it has its influence. I make the mistake sometimes of engaging that influence.
Not to say I don't make other mistakes.
I think only children think you have to like every little thing they do to ride the same boat with them.

This is ridiculous. You aren’t born a cop. A cop chooses to be a cop. He can take off his uniform. He’s a public servant and we get to set the rules on how they behave. That’s not discrimination. It’s a fucking insult to people who suffer actual discrimination to put them in the same class.

Of course you have to consider they are radically different cultures involved and we have a massive population with a massive land mass.
Still good ideas to get from there.

Come on now. I thought you might have caught my drift.
They( the police) have to pass a criminal background test, psychological test, mental tests, drug tests, physical tests etc.
The average racist southern person wouldn't even make it past question 2 on any of those tests( ok joking again) but for the MOST part....
Sorry I used missing all your teeth as an example, hehe.
I know you live in Canada and that's where trailer park boys was filmed, so you should get this.

it is about both what influence you engage and how you choose to engage it Shroomery is not a welcoming community for anything pro-cop
would not make a post like this on one of the anti-trans reddits that exist but posted to my trans meme reddit a Harry Potter meme to get gleeful after JK Rowling decided to voice her discrimination against trans people, yet again https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/gze1vh/daniel_radcliffe_speaking_out_against_transphobia/
and it has been received so well that it has actually given me a case of anxiety with over 2000 +1s on my post, it is the most visible/paid attention to thing I have ever posted online and that makes me hugely nervous, even if no one is paying any actual attention to me and are instead focused on celebrating the content of my post which simply quotes the actor from Harry Potter, after he decided to respond to Rowlings hate with some love

Fully recognize that, and thought the part in my own "version" of Cookies post made that clear when it was my assertion that people with the shittiest values can still end up being police officers
but refuse to stop giggling over "born a cop"
because the catch-phrase "All cops are bastards" that everyone reduces to ACAB is almost identical to phrases commonly used to discuss trans issues AMAB - Assigned Male At Birth AFAB - Assigned Female At Birth
but do recognize that like something like Islam, being a police officer is something an individual is raised into or commits to of their own volition not something inherent to them

There’s a lot of people who don’t understand how this life works. They just latch onto a single idea and hey, it fuckin sounds great!
You can see that in play everywhere you look right now. Questionable folks don’t know how good they have it and like babies throwing a tantrum are breaking their own toys ...
I edited that to say “questionable folks” because hey we’re all civilized........right?

Caught your drift just pointing out that the worst racists tend to be the ones that can keep their beliefs sufficiently masked in public so as to rise to a position of social stature, and then use that position to exercise discrimination against others
the only thing police officers missing their teeth would really make for a difference is that when they went to court for their bad policing people like you would recognize them for the filth they are rather than the perception that because they look clean they have more tolerant beliefs

lmfao. JK Rowling... man that woman is a mess.
Yeah it does make a difference in how you choose to engage. I mean that I regret engaging in the first place because my patience/tolerance/whatever got burned out a while ago and it's hard for me not to just be an asshole.
I went through a very bad phase last year I wasn't much here for. Shit got to my head.
Last time that happened, around 2012, it was shortly followed by a fit of psychosis. I'm okay because I disconnected myself entirely.
aka I gave up. I became deinvested with everything I should give a shit about in this fucked up country. Social media literally makes me lose faith in humanity.
Really not good for me to become over invested. But I haven't learned how to engage without being invested.
...that subreddit name is triggering me. But congrats on the karma

If it makes you feel better I wrote some cringey fanfiction that garnered more than half a million views and many 12 year olds squealing in the comments. still hate myself a little bit...
But for real I think you should be out there. You are a voice platforms like that and this could very well use.
Anonymous but not... I like to think we are all disembodied voices people imagine a character to. But in the end we are just another voice.
I like to imagine some of you are talking animals because it entertains me.

Any person, actually intent on protecting and serving, that wasn't morally corrupt, would have helped the guy regardless of what their buddy says to do.
Only 2 cops were relieved of duty but all 57 remaining members of the task force resigned in solidarity for them and they were cheered outside of the court house.
For what? Assaulting an old man and then stepping over him as he bled out? If a task force has 60 members and 57 resign in solidarity for people who abuse the elderly then it's definitely more than a few bad apples.
The bad apples have ruined the entire bunch and it's time to put them in the trash and get some new apples in and maybe put some precautions in to keep them from rotting.
But they did help him. They immediately called paramedics and isolated him for safety.

Defunding the police is effectively disbanding them.
That’s the intention of the people doing this.

no its about allocating money to other services. there are lots of jobs cops get paid way to much to do that takes their time away from focusing on other things. This conversation is about rethinking the things we want cops to be responsible for.

That’s a very fanciful interpretation of the word, defund.
Seems to me that it means exactly what it says, defund.
