How many times does it result in someone being murdered over a trivial issue or a "misidentification"? Given the ratio of those numbers is ppl dead/#of cop calls what ratio do you think is appropriate that the cops should never be called on someone committing domestic violence?

Broke up with me after waiting for him through his whole deployment because I’m not Christian enough.quote:I [F28) was dating a guy for [m25] a year and he just broke up with me. He was deployed for the last six months, came back and had sex, broke up with me 2 days later. He grew up Christian and was waiting for marriage until sex until he broke that 2 years ago, not with me. We start dating and I tell him that I’m not the religious type of girl that has bible quotes on social media and goes to church every Sunday. I told him I believe in kindness first and how people are. He said it was ok.

Fiancé [21M] hinted that he wants me [19F] to use skin-whitening creams, am I childish for being upset?quote:I'm using a throwaway because my fiancé knows my actual username. We have been together for about 6 months, but in our culture/religion relationships tend to move very "fast" and marriage is usually at a young age. Also side note, my fiancé is a very fair-skinned Arab guy (his whole family is also fair-skinned), meanwhile I have Desi roots.

Bleaching creams are horrendous for your skin and health, not to mention the hosed up racist attitudes of the boyfriend. Like find this man, find the most contaminated lake in your area, and abandon him there, preferably under the water.

Restaurants (the kind that are in buildings with no wheels under them) have been one of the prime ways for immigrant groups from ethnicities around the world, to establish themselves and connect with the communities they move into - regardless of their education or what they left behind - in America for the last century. I know some aspects of the American economy have changed in the past fifteen years or so, but is it basically that small businesses can only get a truck loan or something and all else is Chipotle? The idea that I am oppressing people of color because I don't want to pay twelve bucks for a grilled gouda and maple bacon with extra diesel exhaust from Lovin You Is Cheesy Cuz You're Beautiful that parks in the financial district at midday, okay, yes, I'm canceled.

Actually getting space for a restaurant is far more expensive than a food truck if your space is good for a restaurant. Tons of awesome places close quickly because they’re in a lovely place with no traffic, like being buried in the back of a plaza in an area that’s just suburbs and office parks in urban sprawl. Also don’t loving call the cops if you don’t want people to die.

Talk to the construction site to see if they’d be willing to ask the truck they’re giving business to? Slash their tires? Code enforcement? Lots of options that don’t involve calling twitchy macho douchebags with a license to kill and itchy trigger finger.

My (30M) wife (29F) met a woman on Reddit and in HOURS they were swapping nudes (we have agreed that we both consider that cheating for our marriage). Now she says that it’s because she’s not equipped to say no to women because she’s not used to it and needs therapy to learn how to say no to them.quote:Yeah so she did this poo poo and is all “I’m bisexual but married to a man and never knew I was queer until after we were married so I’m not equipped to say no when a woman tells me I’m beautiful. I’m going to go to therapy and work every day to get better.”

I hate this dumb childish cop nonsense. Yes, American police forces tend to attract psychos due to unchecked authority and power+constantly covering up illegal poo poo, of course. It's a major problem! But that doesn't mean all cops are these roving murder squads full of Judge Dredds, cackling maniacally as they draw up plans to destroy all minorities for no reason.

ah yes the plight of the poor small business owner who exploits public services for his own gain is a classic tragedy. Of course they deserve to use up as much of the sidewalk as wanted, and any punishment including but not limited to death by cop is practically an attack on this great country.quote:Boyfriend (24M) has a pattern of lying to my face (23F) about progressively more suspicious things- where to go from here?

The chance of dying in a school shooting is lower than being struck by lightning or dying of a bee sting, whereas cops kill and maim everyone they can and you’re suggesting bringing them in on purpose. So it’s a more apt comparison if you were advocating randomly firing a shotgun at schools to keep them on their toes.

While it is possible that calling the police can result in a shooting, it is also not likely. See: roughly 1,000 people are shot by the police every year, and by comparison there are over 240 million calls to 911. Meanwhile, we're not talking about calling the police on a family barbeque in a public park - if the food truck is parked in the crosswalk and forcing people to go around and cross in traffic, the threat of someone getting injured as a result is far, far more likely than the vanishingly small chance of the cop deciding to flat-out murder a person instead of just issuing them a ticket and forcing them to move. There are an immense number of issues with policing in America, the danger of calling them is not non-zero, and actively trying to not get the police involved when there's no threat to public safety is certainly admirable, but... there is a threat here, one that needs to be addressed.

There is a precise number of police performing extrajudicial killings that should happen when call them about something. It's 0. Any more than that and you have a problem.

Chance of a random US school age child being killed in a school shooting: 0.000712% Police shootings in 2018: 992 out of 330million Chance of a random US resident being killed by police 0.0003% Lightning strikes by lightning: The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000 Chance of a random US resident being struck by lightning: 0.00014% Bee Stings: From 2000 to 2017, stings from that group of insects were responsible for 1,109 deaths, or roughly 62 fatalities each year, the CDC said. Chance of a random US resident being killed by a bee: 0.00002% So: Bee stings are not comparable, please don't defame bees who are already suffering by comparing them with murderers and lightning strikes. Cops are twice as bad as lightning strikes, but for the average (read white) person schools are in fact more than twice as dangerous as cops. (So schools are at least 5 times more dangerous than lightning for all kids probably more). Cops don't kill at random, though, so for some people cops are less of a concern for other they are more of a concern. Murder by cops is a serious societal concern because unlike lightning strikes or school shooters they are given their weapons by the state and should be vetted and controlled better to avoid their miscarriages of justice. That said, calling the cops on a business in public during daylight hours for a traffic violation is much less likely to result in a shooting than your average cop visit, let alone the actually dangerous ones, so go ahead and call the cops on the business that has been warned and is willfully endangering pedestrians when they could have just parked 10 feet back or forward.

Motronic posted:This really sounds like a goon goony GBS thing to say. Would you care to explain your reasons in detail? Restaurants are very expensive to own and operate and have historically shut out poor folks for obvious reasons, who are predominantly people of color in America. POCs are also denied bank loans to raise the capital needed to open a restaurant, or even the right to rent or buy a property at all, at rates much higher than white people. This is why the idea of the (ethnic) food truck, which was championed to great success by Latinos and taco trucks in the 70s and 80s, is an awesome thing and allows black/Latin/Muslim/etc Americans to sell their cuisine to the general population. Saying "Oh yeah, maybe food should be sold inside buildings and not trucks" is a horribly lovely, hyper privileged attitude that marginalizes the intense discrimination POCs face when attempting to start a food service establishment and shifts the restaurant industry even further towards wealthy white folks who already dominate. Also are you aware of the ages-old stereotype of "roach coaches" advanced by racist assholes, mostly during the 1980s, against enterprising Latinos and their taco trucks? There's already this idea that food trucks run by POCs are "dirty" and "gross" and saying that kind of garbage just perpetuates the prejudice by uninformed types who happen upon a taco truck or halal food stand.
