I don't disagree but at the same time having lost a loved one to suicide and the nature of this subforum as a whole, it has to be clear that saying someone should kill themselves is not ok.

Even if they're more porcine than hominid.
Especially given cops' statistical affinity for domestic violence, there's probably a good chance of [more]innocents getting killed. So. . . yeah.

Personally, I didn't think I could have more rage re cops than I did exactly 2 years ago this weekend, but it turns out there was still some room for that rage to grow.

That’s a pretty good point.

How the gently caress do cops manage to dig themselves lower than choking a man to death on camera for 9 minutes?

By golly they loving found a way!!!!!!

Gotcha.

It's venting, is all. I realize dancing around the actual intent in my head isn't much better, but the extra 5 seconds of thinking about how to phrase it more... acceptably, might at least help kick my head off the thought.

This whole week has been poo poo news after poo poo news. We're all burnt out from it, and all we're going to hear from the left is "vote!" while the right is going to keep repeating themselves about how now isn't the time for policy discussion while sucking off an NRA board member through the congressional gloryhole. And I'm going to stop before I get angry again. Back to Ancient Aliens for the day, I guess.

I shouldn’t need to say it, you guys should all know, but don’t joke about or advocate suicide in this forum, thank you.

I’m not saying you can’t be angry at the complete failures of the cops, just don’t say they should kill themselves. It’s not that hard.

they should kill themselves though

Yeah, I hear you. I keep wondering if I should close this thread for a day and replace it with soothing poo poo but in the end that doesn't really accomplish a lot.

Everyone, take a moment to ponder this video of kittens.

Okay, I really have to ask:

Most if not all of you know my history. So what the gently caress do you think is going to happen if you decide you should make suicide a loving punchline?

If you're so full of rage and whatever that you have to say people need to kill themselves in a sub forum full of people that have seen an extreme amount of trauma you need to disconnect from the news and get loving help. Not you specifically.

Edit: like please God do something other than sit and stew in this. Find someone to talk to.

This is kinda why I try to lean the karma route or call on the powers of a mystical sasquatch to perform acts of nature that result in negative consequences or whatever the gently caress. I'm trying to dance my mind away from what could be more intent driven posting while venting. Away from "I want them to harm themselves or to harm them myself" and more towards "I hope Zeus smites them at their awards ceremony for this." Picking holes in my brain for any bullshit descriptive of their outcome seems, not healthy, but at least feels a little like progress, even if only slightly more acceptable socially.

I'm going to avoid news channels for the rest of the day, probably weekend. Stick to mind rotting brain candy and take a few longer walks. It won't improve things in the world, but the bad news will always be there when I flip back to CNN later.

The cops have somehow deleted 18 minutes of police scanner data because their archive is simply missing data from near the start of the incident.

You can still listen in to the scanner in my town. I’m pretty sure they all switch to WhatsApp or something when crazy poo poo happens, though.
