Veterans of Iraq have said they were less heavily armed and armoured when occupying Baghdad. Those of my acquaintance, even the bubba-GOP types, are aghast to see American cops being more belligerent and hostile than members of an invading army.

Nope. Because honestly, before all that, the police still did stuff like this:

This is the Stanford Prison Experiment writ large. If they have guns they are going to want to use them. If they hide their eyes and faces, then they don’t have to connect with another human being.

I think the OP was saying that if the police didn’t show up like this and showed up with non lethal protection and without the incredible guns and gas masks, it would be a huge step toward keep peace on both sides. Showing up like you’re ready for a war is only going to bring war. (I really really hope you’re not a…

What would happen... if instead of showing up like this picture, police officers showed up to these demonstrations wearing a uniform, radio, and body cam, with only a taser as a weapon, and some backup handcuffs or zip ties? I would argue that we’d see a much calmer protest. And I would also argue there’s only one way…

Anyone who supports them or who supports anti-abortion legislature is lying and they don’t give a fuck. There has been plenty shown and written about it, but truth doesn’t matter to these people. Remember, they believe in an all-knowing, all-powerful god. That is on its face pretty ridiculous. Doesn’t take much to get…

They cover a wide range of services related to women’s reproductive care, including pre-natal care for mothers who want to have healthy babies and can’t afford regular doctor visits. It’s not just for women who got knocked up and don’t want the baby. And they offer assistance with birth control, so women can plan when…

Some just don’t care, some don’t follow the thought through far enough to contemplate that. Many, many really believe that if you take all those things away, people will magically “work harder” and do just fine.

Basically you’re trying to turn it into ‘these people are probably Christian, so they’ll never accept the coroners report because Jesus’.

Why? Because this moron is trying to couch their belief in the cops story into some fake concern about the mental state of the parents and family and that’s why they’re wrong about suicide. They family has more insight into Bland than the cops but the OP, who has less info on the matter than them, is basically trying…

Don’t forget the (as of this writing) 24 idiots who starred this.

I know. You’re waiting on more information to come from the accused department to tell you they did nothing wrong. Because its not like the police lie or anything.

I don’t give a fuck if she ate babies as a hobby, the police are not supposed to treat a citizen like that. You’re casting aspersions on a dead woman so that you don’t have to think of her as an innocent person, which she most definitely was, so that you don’t have to consider the fact that this can happen to anyone…

Even if she did commit suicide, the department is 100% culpable. If she told them she was suicidal (as her booking documentation says, whether she actually said it or not is in question) they should have had her under 24/7 surveillance. That’s policy, and failing to follow that policy is negligent at the very least...…

That’s a silly comparison.

The same reason why I think that the cops that hogtied the chemical engineer said he od’d on LSD before there was time to get toxicology reports. To cover themselves and to make the victim look bad. p.s. And I know the dead asthmatic engineer might have taken LSD, who knows. they just put it out there before they…

I am so glad you’re calling out some of the crap on “Prime Day”. It was so ridiculous. I am embarrassed that I kept going back and scrolling through the deals to see if there was something I wanted/ needed. What a shamefully lame selection of crap, it felt like it was a big joke on consumers.

jon why are you leaving me during these turbulent times

Always eating apples, like she's better than everyone.

Cold-hearted BITCH.
