There is a huge difference between neglect, and active murder covered up by an independent coroner. You really are the worst poster in this thread

realbez posted:I'd like to know what would be helpful for the cause Having a grown up discussion about it, and meeting somewhere in the middle. The cops want more deaths in custody, you want less deaths in custody, so let's settle on a smaller increase in deaths in custody and everyone can say they've had a win.

if we're not very precise with our language people will say that systemic racism including indigenous deaths in custody are a lie and a hoax and that blm is a marxist conspiracy wait, Mark Latham got elected to the NSW parliament and gets to go on national television every morning and already says all of that stuff? oops

TheLastRoboKy posted:It's a bit ironic but "This isn't helping your cause" is the least helpful response you can give when faced with someone venting in frustration and anger about institutionalised abuses of human rights and decencies, that are often covered up by the institutions to protect themselves and their mates from scrutiny and responsibility. This is fair enough. Nobody needs to be doing anything "helpful" on a dumb comedy forum. I just get annoyed on principle when people react to actual, real issues with inane hyperbole like, say, implying that the Brisbane coroner is conspiring with police to cover up a deliberate murder. Given that it's an institutional problem, what I mean by "unhelpful" is that it draws a false dichotomy by suggesting that all Aboriginal deaths in custody are the result of direct malice rather than indirect malice, callousness or carelessness because Aboriginal lives are viewed as less important (on the part of both police and a social system which in the first place makes them come into contact with the CJS far more often). This is precisely what allows various officials to get away with mealy-mouthed talk about deaths of "natural causes." The failing being examined at the moment is that she wasn't checked on hourly - as though everything would have been fine if she were. It allows society to dodge the broader question of why she was in that cell in the first place, why she wasn't with family or friends when she had a health crisis. That's what people should focus on. It's enough of an outrage without speculating that police murdered her. And yeah, yeah, I know, who cares because it was a throwaway line and this is a private forum nobody's actually reading anyway.

An indigenous man has had his license suspended after five police were found dead by the side of the road last September. This is the second time that the man's vehicle has been involved with the accidental deaths of multiple police officers. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims that both times he was listening to "gently caress The Police" on the radio to the point of distraction and didn't realise his car was swerving over multiple lanes of traffic to impact upon the deceased. The judge has suspended his license for two weeks and advised more caution in future. Seems a bit far fetched when you flip it, hey

I understood what you intended and I agree with what you've said here. Turning everything into a throwaway most extreme case isn't useful, but I guess it's super fun to post mad hyperbole in a pocket of something awful.

Surprised they didn't do it sooner seeing as their test-case with the Uighurs worked and resulted in zero actual international action.

The 'we should do nothing in exchange for China maybe possibly doing something like letting us watch their human rights abuses close up' is pretty good.

What benefits does "independence" bring us? On the other hand, we'd have to put with endless TV specials every year with self congratulating celebs* recounting where they were when Australia vote England off the island. * Like loving Steve Vizard.
