The poster was part of the viral campaign for a Cinemax show. The cops next to it on Wall St. are real and the framing is :discourse:.

I guess this explains why a counterfeit $20 is worth a death sentence to some people.

Was the forgery story ever confirmed?

If you were a cop would you hang around here? The loving California Conservation Corps guy gets more camaraderie and acceptance here than cops do.

McNally needs to update the rules/Info saying this is the place for cops as well as military. It was a dumb combination to begin with- War Criminals and Cops mix like oil and water.

I don’t honestly care one way or the other. We never did get any firefighters or EMT’s to get on the bus with us. I suspect the big draw for the cops was the ironic racism and the old way we used to post about war.

Man I think one of the things I hate the most about cops is how small town dipshit cops managed to co-opt the firefighters responding to 9/11 and the war in Iraq/Afghanistan without ever being in danger. The gently caress does firefighters dying inside the twin towers or me getting shot at in a dumb war have to do with you eating donuts and writing parking tickets.

I've been posting in GIP since it was a thread in ask/tell and I honestly never understood the connection between the military and law enforcement other than seeing cops as a cheap imitation of the military.....with a completely different job.

They also don't have to deal with the day to day grind of being in the military or owe years of their life to the US govt. If they're not happy with their job or their leaders they can just walk away.

I might be the only person left here who ever was a cop at any point lol. I kinda feel vindicated since all my friends and family members who thought I was sour grapes or immature after my time with the police are realising that I was telling them truth about how lovely and counterproductive policing is, how even if the vast majority of cops aren't "bad apples" they sure don't care enough to do anything about abusive ones, and my department was probably among the most responsive to the public and professional out there.

My dad who is a deputy is even on the abolish the police train. :getin:

Anyone who whines that it’s “too radical” and “who you gonna call if the (((criminals))) are breaking in your house” is almost definitely disingenuous, the idea that armed response, social work and patrolling for nuisances or whatever should be divided into different areas and qualified immunity is broken made perfect sense to him.

I went ahead and removed mention of law enforcement from the rules thread but I left in the generic "uniformed services" welcome mat because I want to be inclusive of people like the Public Health Service and the Coast Guard.

I still want this subforum to be a place where anyone can post. Just because someone is in law enforcement doesn't automatically mean they're a complete shitheel. Let's give them a chance to prove it before running them out of town on a rail.

Probably not a great time for a poster to think about defending his dept, being NYPD and all. His top boss just had an all-white male hissyfit on the news. One that was far more white and male than the actual makeup of the NYPD.

Anyone who whines about 'who you gonna call' has never had to call the cops for anything.

They'll show up three hours late and take a statement that might as well be toilet paper for all that it'll get followed up on.

They’re suburbanites. In those places where this poo poo is rare the police do actually show up. They’re completely incapable of understanding what it’s like living in a broken rural area where police response is measured in hours or a city where they don’t even give a poo poo.

Reminds me of that one Reddit post of a girl from another country saying while visiting her boyfriends midwestern city she was horrified her boyfriend reacted to a pair of men attempting to sexually assault one of her friends and flashing a gun by violently beating the poo poo out both of them and severely injuring one. She kept saying he should have called the police. Even Reddit basically said the police are just as likely to show up and say “what’s the big deal, girls can’t take a compliment” or maybe even do the same thing as those two.

Yeah when I was a teenager someone pulled a gun on me for reasons that still don’t make any goddamn sense, 911 hung up on me when I told them that the guy left and I didn’t know his license plate.

I'm not saying you mis-IDed what you heard, but people have been setting off fireworks for the past week so dispatch is probably flooded with calls about gunshots. I know a lot of my neighbors are loving idiots thanks to the Ring doorbell app's bullshit social media-lite side. I've had to mute all that poo poo because probably 3 times a week at 2 am some moron is asking "DID ANYONE HEAR THOSE GUNSHOTS AT *cross streets???" and that was before all this. I bet half of them dial 911 immediately.
