Remember kids, climate change is your fault specifically, and only you can make things better by making your own life harder!

The police are militarized state violence. They enforce the will of the state through the use of violence. That's not something that can be reformed because it's inherent to policing. Any effective reform would lead to police not being police.

Still don’t understand how tf you bungle a situation like this so badly.

Step 1: Assume the person is intoxicated
Step 2: Do whatever you want because you're a cop and you don't consider drug users people/"something something fentanyl"

So the thing about qualified immunity is that unless there's existing precedent that a cop can't do this, then cops have immunity. Which is a cool catch 22 because you can't have existing precedent if every cop who's ever faced charges/lawsuits for a particular thing has gotten off because there wasn't already a precedent. It's an Ouroboros of letting cops do whatever they want.

This is beginning to change in some places, where police chiefs or their higher-ups want nothing to do with overtly shitty cops, but considering these cops have already finished their paid ~~vacation~~ suspension, I don't think they'll face any serious charges.

Thanks :)

I'd love to see a study done on the correlation between being a cop and killing animals. I bet there's a definitive correlation there.

IA is not a sustainable project, and is built as a single point of failure. It has no transparency and no recovery plan if things go bad. Compare that to Anna's Archive, a project that open sources all of their code and data so that things will continue running even if everyone involved disappears.

Ask yourself: if IA's data was silently modified, would anyone be able to tell?

and the cheap sluts for violence that marry them.

60% of cops abuse their spouse. These aren't "sluts for violence", these are people who can't leave because their spouse might kill them or at the very least sic other cops on them.

No, because psychopathy is not a real mental disorder and you won't find it in the DSM. Either way, I'd be more upset at people killing animals than having an arbitrarily labeled mental illness.

Usually because people don't start recording until there's a reason, like police brutality.
