I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Do you have to be high to think that someone wracked and plagued by the guilt of a murder probably wouldn't fight tooth and nail to avoid any personal discomfort for their actions, or that they would they hide behind some thin blue line poo poo?

No, I think you have to be high to think that he'd plead guilty for that reason. Life in prison vs "any personal discomfort"...like...what the hell.

Yeah, I could be feeling like absolute guilty garbage but if I was a cop facing serious jail I'd be more concerned about ending up with my rear end feeling like it was filled with dicks and knives for years. Or a few days until my untimely demise.

However I would be very inclined to feel that a deal was appropriate for my serious gently caress up that killed a guy but I'd still like to avoid my torture and probable death.

Yeah we already send way to many people to prison and its a terrible place. Trying not to go to prison is pretty much the same whether you're an innocent black man who can't make bail or a rich white guilty dude. poo poo sucks. Worse that the in most cases the guilty white dude walks.

but also Abolish for profit prisons. Abolish the war on drugs. Abolish ice. Gut/Abolish and rebuild most police departments.

Here ghole, I owed you a better response than snark so I took a little time and made an effort post in word and copied it here from word, so forgive weird formatting errors:

My point is, when it’s a crime by someone whom is not a cop, you get so many of the law and order types crying for blood, that they’re wasting taxpayer dollars by being in jail and not dead, and so on. Yet, when a cop murders someone they resort to the victim blaming and such, he was no angel, pulling pictures from their social media to totally show they’re a bad dude (and to be fair, I haven’t seen that particularly happen with this case, in this thread, but how far would I need to look down comments on an article about it to find some?). But, strangely enough, when a cop does something bad and we need to extend them the benefit of doubt, god bless them, they try but sometimes they mess up. Like, when you see that kind of constant hypocrisy by the Thin Blue Line types, it gets really loving tiresome and you turn it back on them just a little and you’re obviously a deviant and dismissed because sometimes you smoke weed. It’s totally loving retarded, and at the end all the law & order dudes are holding cops at a lower standard than the actual criminals, because they’re under a lot of “stress” and such, we should hear their side of the story blah blah blah.

Like, I’m not so terminally stoned or retarded that I don’t understand due process or why someone who may feel personal guilt would enter a non-guilty plea. I just don’t get why I’m supposed to extend this guy a benefit of the doubt? Because he’s used to be a goon? Because he is a cop? I’m sorry but none of those are compelling reasons unless you believe police are inherently better than their fellow man or somehow infallible and that’s just silly. It’s just a loving job. This whole “it’s a lifestyle and a sacrifice” bullshit isn’t any different than the “thank you for your service” poo poo people say about being in the military and we all know that’s a farce, unless you’re some sort of weird Kool-Aid drinker, and hell, the police standards for joining and conduct are a hell of a lot lower than even the lowly US Army, soo, yeah.
I just guess in the end if Martello had given the dude the benefit of the doubt that I’m expected to give him then we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.

And yes, this was a post written on weed since that apparently matters

Bowling for Columbine had the very reasonable and correct conclusion that America's deep seated culture of fear is much more problematic than guns themselves but holy poo poo did he ever do a bad job of making that point.

IIRC someone posted a chart listing items that were most likely to indicate whether a person was white or black, and 'owning a flashlight' was somehow on the list. What followed was a several page discussion trying to figure out how flashlights could have ended up on the list, people got pointlessly heated and mad, basically another Tuesday for the Trump Thread.
