I'm not ready =(

I'm in Portland and i live across from a mormon church. No one bikes ever, their cars range from hummers to audis on the high end, and no one says hello ever. I seriously wonder where these people live.

As an ex-Mormon: There is plenty of racism in thr church, its just not outright Southern Baptist style of showing it outfront, more the uncomfortable under the skin racism.

And yeah, there's a lot of upper middle class wealth hanging around.

Agreed. It's shameful how cowardly they are when faced with any significant pushback - even Senator McConnell fled from the House Democrats going to speak to him that one time during the government shutdown.

The conservative, even when it has cheated to the top, is a creature of fear that would fall to pieces pissing on the floor if its enemies actually fought back with the same tactics, much less the hoi polloi dared to touch and breathe upon them in anger.

Was in Salt Lake City a few years ago to watch a soccer game. Since we had nothing else really to do, and everyone really seems to think Space Jesus is super cool, we got high and went to Temple Square. We decided to take one of the tours that ended on the roof by a mural that was laser etched black marble or granite showing faces from different ethnicities. The old white man tour guide says, and this is a direct quote, "this mural symbolizes the love the Mormon church has for all types of people, black, white, blah blah blah."

And also a few blocks west of there you could see the "Mormon School of Business" (or whatever it's called) where they all learn how to be upper middle class white folk.

Follow the ex Mormon/ex JW type subreddits and look at the horror stories (and they tend to cross over due to similar crazy religions and excommunication practices). It's actually good that JWs refuse to vote and Mormons are mostly centered in an area.

Interesting how black and brown people standing up and saying 'hey, maybe cops should stop brutalizing us 24/7' led to people making cops into the troops

Yea, living in South Carolina, the proliferation of Blue Live Matter is maddening. Stickers, flags and , oh o the best yet, Blue lives matter themed Punisher logos :barf:

Going out into any touristy area is even worse where a lot of the displayed items at the souvenir stores are Blue lives matter themed. You can also get your assortments of Trump/Pence flags, confederate flag towels, and trump on various t shirts. Don't forget shirts that you would see on RW T-shirt websites like "I run on Liberal tears" garbage. I'm guessing this is where the old fucks that don't know what the internet is get their racist memorabilia.

This is what I’ve been trying to say to the posters who’ve been against this investigation from the start. This is now normalized and when an actual leftist candidate runs they’re absolutely going to go even harder with the espionage. The worst part is i know fuckers like Greenwald know this, too. They just don’t care.

I'd barely seen any until the last time I went to Cape Cod of all places, where I saw a bunch. Which hurt my head until I remembered that Cape Cod has lots of wealthy retirees who live there year round.

If it was recently, it’s probably because a K9 cop got killed on the Cape about a year ago. His dog got shot too but survived.

My dog will spin like a turbine and crash into a wall if his favorite treat is on order and he thinks it will get him it. Police dogs are selected for taking this to the next level.

I will petition the dog house to stop their complicity with The Man on your behalf though.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



Cop dogs are still dogs and deserve love (and a better job).

If I ran into a machine with two buttons, one that said kill all humans and one that said kill all dogs, I hope the kill all humans button makes a pleasing sound as a repeatedly slam it.

And to be fair, the dogs don't have a choice. I guess my conclusion is that k9 officers are even worse than regular cops.

A reminder that trying to prevent a police dog from killing you can get you charged with assaulting a police officer but when a dumbfuck K9 Officer leaves a police dog in a hot squad car and it dies, it's written off as a loss of police equipment.

I used to work in a pet store that had a weird auto-bath machine for dogs, kind of a locking glass box with jets that shot out water and shampoo and hot air.

Dogs, unsurprisingly, absolutely hated this machine and would freak out and cry and flail and try to escape from the loud Dog Assaulter, which most people would emergency stop and never try again. The ones that didn’t would at least walk away and finish shopping somewhere else in the store, where it was harder to hear their animal friend.

Not the K-9 cops, though. They brought their dogs over and over again, and would stay right there in front of the machine to watch and point and laugh.

My ex-wife got my son, who is 8, enrolled in some kids martial arts class and the instructor is a cop who has this sort of poo poo hung up all over his gym. She doesn't understand why I have a problem with it/him, why I think it's possible this "teacher" might be an rear end in a top hat and why my son might be learning the wrong lessons from the wrong people while paying for the privilege.

She wants him to learn "how to defend himself" from bullying.

I don't want a start a cop derail but I'm honestly baffled at how many people worship them given how common it is to have very unpleasant experiences with them even if you're a 30 year old white guy, let alone a minority. If they're here to "protect and to serve", why are most people's first responses to encountering one in the wild fear and nervousness?

The piss tape is real



if a non-cop trained dogs to attack people and used them to attack people they would be charged with a crime and the animals euthanized

in summation cops using dogs (well, any animal) is a crime and we need to charge the criminals to end the practice
