Maybe if we teach kids not to be racist and throw up Nazi salutes they'll not grow up to be racist cops.

I was just saying the militarizing of our police force with gear kind of ramped up because of the war on terror and federal funds being used by police forces to buy military equipment.
Up-gunning cops started in earnest after West Hollywood and was primarily in response to the idea of heavily armed drug gangs and white militias. A similar thing happened in the 20s with the panic about "motor bandits."

The GWoT funding bumps have mostly been grants for surveillance equipment, anti-muslim training, and DoD surplus nonsense like MRAPs that look badass but never really do anything a regular truck can't.

It's very hard to not see the extreme racial undertones of the entire flow of the thread. An extremely obvious demonstration of nazism getting pages of discussion about the wellfare of said idiots. Yet an effective execution on racial grounds gets ignored as business as usual. Why the gently caress do you wonder why throwing a nazi salute is extremely hosed up? Your society is based on this poo poo, and still there is plenty of time for excuses.

No one in this thread is going to ever have much direct control over anything the police do, lots of people in this thread are going to face a moment where a white teen does or says something extremely lovely and have to make an actual decision on how that should be handled.

The hosed up thing is we can only manage a resigned sigh at police execution #648 because of loving course the police killed the vaunted good guy with a gun and of course he will likely suffer no repercussions. But people get up in arms about kids because this dead gay comedy forum trends older and many of us have or are thinking of having kids and are terrified theyre going to become ironic nazis to spite us. Plus half of us were ironic edgelords at one point or other.

Plus I think a lot of people want to know what it takes to stop Nazis from being Nazis (or at least behaving as such), short of killing them.

Investing in renewables isn't necessarily the same as reducing carbon emissions - especially when you take into account the aggressive reduction targets that need to be met to head off climate disaster. The Dems have always been happy to give renewable energy companies plenty of money, but when it comes to emissions reduction (which is absolutely necessary), the thing that keeps coming to mind to me is how the Senate blocked the Kyoto Protocol by unanimously passing a law restricting the US from signing on to emissions reduction treaties.

Kyoto is totally more relevant to the present than the Paris agreements. You know, for reasons. Some of which DON'T have to do with just screaming "DEMS BAD" over and over.

The issue personally is that it is obviously part of a bigger and dangerous trend, that really is creating environments in public where this sort of this is okay and honestly, there are almost certainly plenty of other high schools where this type of stuff is happening.

You probably can't even limit it to rural America or red states either, I am sure parts of Oregon (for example) have poo poo like this going on.

Signing on to a treaty requires a two thirds majority in the senate according to the constitution. The 1997 vote is completely irrelevant.

there is only the Grift. The GOP has been the party of the Grift for decades and the Trump clan is the art of the Grift honed to a fine edge. The Hanso Steel of Grift.

In the Grift the product is an afterthought; the quality of product can even be thought of as inversely relational to the quality of Grift. the targets of the Grift subconsciously know this, and thus are drawn to low-quality products like a moth to a lovely sputtering flame. The Teddy Bear's intrinsic shittiness is a feature, not a bug, and the Grift's target audience will eat it right up.
