here is the point I was trying to make yesterday: I want to live in a world where cops treat everyone the same way they treat nazis. Not every cop is bad, but taken as a whole the right wing elements of policing are willing to infiltrate left wing protest groups, kettle them in at protests and pepper spray everyone etc. But the most extreme left wing thing cops are willing to do is to follow the armed nazis around while wearing a pride sticker to make sure they don't attack anyone. And while the cops doing their job and preventing nazis from committing violent acts isn't a bad thing, when compared to the extra legal things some elements of law enforcement are allowed to get away with against anyone to the left of Biden it leaves a sour taste in my mouth I don't think anyone here in GIP is a bad cop. The problem is that the institution of law enforcement in this country does not give you the framework to be a good cop. At best you can do your job like a normal person with integrity, but you are 100% not equipped to counter the right wing elements. YOU ARE NOT A GOOD JOB. This is not your fault. The system does not allow anyone to be a good job. I know this because I was a marine grunt. The best I could do was not commit war crimes. That doesn't make me good, that makes me neutral. I saw an attempted war crime (thank god the dipshit can't aim) but what the gently caress could I do to report it? I mean Chichevache can't infiltrate a nazi group because he'd get made instantly by another cop that knows him. One of the main problems is that there is little overall authority governing police behavior. I think one of the cops talked about how the academies are actually decent, the problem comes when they get to the force. And well, that kinda goes back to what I mean which is that once people get on the force there are always going to be elements pulling people to the right, and the normal cops aren't equipped in any way to combat that.

It's a tangled web to determine who is the worst. Thiel has developed a thoroughly lovely ideology, part of which is the he thinks he should get to live forever. But he's only one guy, albeit he can do a lot of damage with the amount of money he has. He's also part of the reason Facebook and many other stupid startups exist. Zuck is a sociopath who doesn't seem to have much of an ideology behind what he does. His crime is not giving two shits about privacy, and facilitating the activities of a diverse cast of lovely people. Jack is a far less smart version of Zuck who stumbled into his role through dumb luck. He seems to be in the midst of a Steve Jobs speed run, so he'll probably take himself out of the world sooner than later. Unfortunately he's not the only reason Twitter sucks so it won't change much.

There is nothing to fix in law enforcement because it is working as intended. Face it, thinking that people shouldn't be subject to summary executions for suspicion of committing a misdemeanor still puts you in the minority of Americans. This country loving loves authority and in lieu of just letting the military run everything the next best thing is a giant gang of half-cocked paramilitary death squads.

EBB posted:I'm guilty of it too but let's not spam up the thread again. quote:During an October 9, 2010, televised debate, Emmer said he would oppose legislation to combat school bullying against gay and lesbian young people. Emmer, who voted against anti-bullying legislation as a state lawmaker, said that teachers are most responsible for halting bullies, but suggested that the threat of lawsuits keeps them from doing so. "I don't think we need more laws; I think we need more understanding," he said.

Not that there is any reason I'd ever want to live in St. Cloud but Bachmann and now Emmer continually getting elected there really drives it home.

There is indeed a process and all the candidates are probably following it. None of the potential candidates have the money, time or organization, let alone an articulable need, to start campaigning more than a year before the primaries.
