Because you are getting in on the ground floor. This is how to decentralize and disrupt the establishment. The line can only go up. Its on the crypto blockchain which is the future of everything.  No more banks, no more taxes, no more government, no more gelato.  This is happening.  Don’t be a beta.

Whenever an article critical of NFTs was posted back in the day people would come out of the woodwork defending how valuable and revolutionary they would be and how you just “didn’t get it”. Where are those people now?

A good and expected result.  Now can we never talk about them again?

There is a serious lacking of Trailer Park Boys references in this comment section

If we defund the police, who’ll show up six hours after they’re needed, fill shit out on a clipboard, and never follow up?

I wonder if these two cops are also School Resource Officers. The way they seemed to light up when talking about terrorizing children tells me that’s a pretty good shot. 

I think, in context along with the rest of the video, it tends to show a sort of callous indifference. If they were somber and quiet, I’d still think their comments to the dad were bad and ill-advised, but it’s frankly possible I’d be a little more willing to give some benefit of the doubt as to their intentions. 

Yup. Police exist for punishment and reinforcement of the status quo. They do NOT exist to deter crime and never did. Police PR like Law and Order SVU (and all the other Law and Orders) that portray the police as a bunch of heroes who do nothing but tirelessly work to bring justice to every single victim they come…

Burn it all down.

Ohio is having a tough time. First Gym Jordan trying to be a politician while his lips are planted remora like on Trumps ass and now these two Barney Fife boneheads. 

If small talk about soda challenges and showing up six hours after being called is the “highest degree of concern” well, perhaps Columbus cops need to go back to the academy.

This x1000. “To serve and protect” is the biggest bunch of bullshit out there. Police departments have literally gone to court to get rulings that state they have no obligation to do either of those things. So what is their purporse? To reify state power. 

There’s no such thing as a good cop.

ALL Cops Are Bastards.

I think a lot of the (understandable) knee jerk opposition people have to calls to defund or abolish the police has to do with the misapprehension that police exist to protect individuals or that they are part of the mechanism for serving justice. Protection and justice are not what the police are for, no matter what…

“Yes officer. I did call you to arrest my eleven year old child. You do have a firm grasp on the situation. Well done. Go enjoy a crisp beverage. You deserve it.” — the answer they expected

I don’t really care if they were talking about soda before the guy answered the door. That said, yeah, it’s awful that the only response the police seemed to have was “what can we charge this child with”. It’s hard to imagine a better way to ensure that the actual perpetrator would never face justice.

“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.” -Columbus Division of Police

It's very hard to legally carry in California.  Had he tried this in Florida he would have been shot early on since that pipe meets the deadly weapon threshold. Actually in most states he'd be a good shoot. 

If you reasonably feared for your safety (and someone brandishing a pipe seems like they would represent a threat to your safety), then probably not. However, if the offender died, you’d probably at least end up having to hire a lawyer.
