So loving weird

there were a few articles about those in nyc too, saying it impinges on sovereignty etc. blah blah china says they're not "police stations" and are in fact community run information centers for chinese citizens. idk how true that is and i haven't even seen one of them around, but i think they're probably not police stations in the literal sense

oh how about that time they strapped c4 to a bomb disposal robot and blew that guy up or the time they tried to hunt down a cop gone good and airholed a bunch of unrelated people in a pickup truck, then finally tracked down the one good cop and burned him alive as a Message to never ever step against the LAPD i remember a lot of things i won't go on

the beltway sniper thing was nuts because the news channels would go to every county sheriffs office for a 5 minute press conference and then just keep doing hours of coverage because if they stopped talking about it people stopped watching even though there’re was nothing to report for days at a time

the beltway sniper inspired a particularly wild episode of CSI: Miami where they show an action shot of the crazed gunman peeing while prone on a roof somewhere, lying in wait for like eight hours. the climax of the episode has Horatio Caine out in the open while the sniper has him in his crosshairs, but there's a helicopter loving up the wind so he can't get a clean shot. then the swat team bust in and take him down or something. weird times

I feel like the was some drama online about Chinese police stationed abroad a year or two ago and then it turned out they were just bureaucrats technically part of a police department but stationed in embassies and consulates to like renew driver's licenses and poo poo But it's not like any American news org issued a clarification after that was figured out Edit: and yeah the NYPD has officers abroad very specifically as part of their intelligence division lol

Having agents stationed abroad working with local authorities there, with cooperation, knowledge and consent from the host country is something entirely different than having a bunch of foreign police officers in a nondescript building keeping tabs on your population without the host country knowing anything about it. if you can't understand the difference between these two things maybe you do deserve a tankie avatar?
