Yea, who would ever think that Ride the Lightning is a euphemism for being killed by the state? It's not like there was a 6x platinum album of the name with the title track about being murdered by the state.

Edit: And it was confirmed by the very cop when he said "you should be" in response to the victim saying he's afraid to get out.

I've seriously had enough and would prefer a new branch added to the DOD to take over all domestic LE. We nees to have standards and responsibility. Right now, we pay them to subugate.

I don’t hate this idea. Small military branch (possibly a third strictly National Guard aligned branch for Title 32 v. Title 10 reasons?) fully under UCMJ that handles armed LE stuff only to the extent absolutely necessary such as violent felonies, active shooter situations, major event security, etc. but does not respond to calls that don’t ordinarily require an armed response. The FBI can stay in their current investigative/CI role. All other normal state/local LE duties are replaced by social/medical workers, parking checkers or unarmed state investigators. etc.

Honestly, they probably harass and bully all local POC to the point where they are afraid to report them. Who cares if Johnny down the block files a complaint, just Officers Billy Bob and Jimbo to put the fear of god in him to recant.

The 2LT was passing through, therefore the cops probably didn’t think anything would come back around to them until they realized he was going to be out of their jurisdiction to abuse their power further to cover up the incident.

While it sucks it happened to this kid, I’m glad he’s ok and hopefully shine the light of the corruption and abuse of power while getting a paycheck out of it.

How the hell is the USMC making the vaccine optional. The very idea of an optional marine medical procedure is blowing my mind. I had at least two experimental vaccines stuck in me that didn't have any real medical purpose and I'm pretty sure I didn't have a choice in those. Is the commandant a 5g chud or something?

It blows my mind that the military is making it optional. They forced anyone who joins to get so many vaccines. Why is this the one they aren’t forcing non people??

Also gently caress those cops. There was zero deescalation happening there.

Because we don't have flu shot numbers of vaccines RN.

As soon as we go full supply I'm betting it'll be a 💯 thing.

Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccines under an emergency-use authorization, the military brass cannot mandate the shots like they do with influenza jabs and other inoculations, although each service has embarked on a social media campaign encouraging troops to get vaccinated when their number is called.

It will be manda-loving-tory as soon as it leaves the EUA phase when Phase IV is complete.

You cannot force a EUA (emergency use authorization) vaccine. Even in the military. Until the vaccine receives full approval by the FDA it is volunteer only.

Down south, they're not limited to just hassling POC. It's certainly a strong preference, but they will absolutely turn the eye of sauron on anyone who crosses them, with impunity.

Yeah a southern state county sheriff is an elected king basically, they do what they want, when they want, and answer to no-one. It's the ultimate power-trip position. They love to gently caress up POC, and look out for them in order to try to intimidate them, but if you cross them it doesn't matter your skin color, they'll gently caress you up just the same, since there's basically no oversight into how county sheriffs run poo poo, since they're not a police department per se, they're "lawmen".

I have a cousin in Georgia who had to move because of that. He took a handyman job for the sheriff's mother in law, who proceeded to not pay him on completion. He tried to take her to small claims court not knowing who she was, and the deputies then showed up every Friday to arrest him for "harassment" of the mother in law. After a couple months of weekends in jail, they sold their house and moved. The south is a hole and I don't understand why anyone would want to live there.
