Imagine being able to refuse a breath test without getting the shit beat out of you

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

They don't Isuzu beat you anymore, but lots of states have a law that part of having a driver's license is consent to a breath test, so if you refuse they revoke your license.

Either have to be rich or a bootlicker. Presumably some people can be both.

They are implying Harris is a cop because she worked as a prosecutor.

Yeah I mean do I want someone who is deeply intertwined with the apparatus of oppression and violence that is the US police, prison, and criminalizing "tough on crime" BS rhetoric and policy?

Lol no, it is a very crucial and important criticism of her, still woulda taken her over a fascist sigh ...

Biden should have stepped down a longtime ago, he basically soft RBG'd us.

If you get paid to put people in jail, you're a cop. Prosecutors are cops.

So... are judges cops? Are juries cops?

Hey at least I am not as big of a coward as the uvalde cop!

An (ex) friend of mine refused a breathalyzer when a county sheriff found him sleeping behind the wheel in a parking lot after a day of drinking. Because he refused the test the county revoked his license.

Meanwhile this cop hits a child and nothing happens.

Note to self: if I'm going to commit a crime make sure I'm a cop first.

Make sure you’re a cop and do it with a car. You’ll probably have a greater chance of receiving compensation for the ‘trauma’ you suffered than face any criminal consequences.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Or use a gun. Or throw a flash bang into a crib. Or start a fire with a flash bang. So many ways to get away with murder when you’re a cop.

Actually…literally almost every way. Choking, beating, shooting, running over, blowing up…cops are fuckin murderers. Fuck the fucking police.

It's great because when they call the cops you just say "already at the scene, boys; nothing to see here – all good 'n' dandy, Sandy"

They break up union strikes but their own union is above the law.

Cops are a gang

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If you go to anti union propaganda sites you get the most tame accusations you've ever heard. Embezzlement! Using your dues for leftist causes! Holy shit!

And then there's "police union" where you consistently get "cop gets bored; kills family of 5. City ordered to lick his taint and pay $5,000,000 after trying to fire him."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

It's an actual mob. You pay dues to the bosses and they break the law to protect you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Always has been.🔫

[–] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You see, when you are cop and you aren't outraged and calling for this fucker to be fired, it means you too are part of the problem.

That's why people hate cops. It's not that all of you are assholes, but you seem way too comfortable working along side massive pieces of shit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

The cops that call this out is now an ex-cop.

The good ones don't last long, thats why people say ACAB.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

The justice system is all kinds of fucked up, so even well-intentioned cops are screwing over innocent folk on a regular basis. They might not see it, but we do, and it does make them assholes. Friendly smiling assholes.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago

So when do we charge this man with terrorism?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Union? That's what their union is for?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago

Yep! The police union is anti union. It's a bit strange, for sure.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well mainly their Union is for busting real unions.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

It would be nice if equal protection under the law applied to cops as well

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fuck you, Suffolk county. You and your people suck worse than Nassau, and that's fucking saying something.

Don't come to the city with your shitty driving and low quality people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Suffolk county res here, can confirm

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry dude. Love the beaches and Montauk but had pretty bad times trying to be friendly with people out there.

So the responding officers were fired for not collecting evidence, right? Right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Me, a progressive: "No more cops"

Lemmy users: "Villain! We need moderate change to the existing system! Not a new one! Who would protect us from the marauding gangs of evildoers in my backyard?"

Me, a progressive: "Don't you think--"

Lemmy users: "FUCK YOU FA&&&&&"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Where I live it's illegal to refuse a drug driving test

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Illegal for us plebs. Not for off duty cops
