Cuffed in the back of a van with no seatbelts. You can get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt in your car.
As always, ACAB.
(I hate that this is becoming a daily occurence.)
Spell it out for me?
All cops are bastards. No exceptions.
This is not a healthy outlook on the world.
Population generalization is extremely toxic. Yeah, lots are corrupt, but “Everyone that has job x” is patentably false, and is simply an emotional reaction and lashing out.
It does nothing to solve any problems and just produces new ones. No progress is made that way, it’s the opposite of progress towards solving a problem. Are you here to just emotionally vent or are you here to actually hold a conversation?
We don’t need more people acting like petulant adults who are entirely emotionally driven. We need more people who are willing to look at problems and figure out how we can organize to solve them.
Would you agree that all fascists are bastards? What about the fascist-adjacent collaborators who do nothing to stop the fascists, sometimes even actively defending them? Do you agree that they’re all bastards?
For most professions, you’d have a point, but just like fascists aren’t like most politicians, cops aren’t like most professions.
A homeless guy slept in public too many times, and the police decided to arrest him.
They handcuffed and chained him then drove fast and slammed the brakes on purpose with him in the back of the van. That broke his neck - paralyzing him from the neck down. Both legs needed to be amputated as well.
For falling asleep in a grass lot…
Call me crazy, but I would be happy to pay extra in taxes to make sure everyone had a roof over their head, healthcare (including dental, vision, mental health care), and their basic needs of life met (including hygiene products). If that comes out of police budgets, so be it.
What’s crazy is it would likely cost less in taxes to do!
