The Supreme Court is about to rule on a case where handguns will be allowed in NYC or Philly regardless of what laws those states want. It's gonna get a lot spicier out there! Thanks republicans! And to everyone who didn't bother voting for Hillary!

The weird thing about it that some people who aren't even cops get super offended when you point out that we select the dumbest, most aggressive, and easy to order around motherfuckers for the job.

That's not a whoopsie, that's by loving design. You want your enforcers to be dumbass thugs.

Same as any grunt, you don't want them asking "why?", you just want them to say "ok".

And maybe they get to play with their toys and hurt people, all legal beagle. Fun!

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Off duty cops absolutely have the power to arrest you if they see you committing a crime. Many departments have policies discouraging it and there’s a shitton of paper work when you arrest someone so cops are incentivized to try to hand it off to someone off duty so they don’t do a bunch of unpaid labor but neither of those are the same things as laws which generally do give cops the right to arrest you. Please don’t yell about laws that don’t exist, you will piss the cop off and make them decide that the unpaid labor is totally worth it.

That collapse was a structural safety issue in a privately owned building? I'm talking about stuff that actually does get 1) enforced and 2) absolutely is now and has been a part of the conversation for construction of public buildings for 15 years now. And especially so for schools and universities, for which the number of exits has exactly nothing to do with slum lord owners or capitalism.

I know it's part of the conversation from first hand experience. You probably can't find a single architect in the country designing buildings for schools that isn't considering how to mitigate a mass shooting attempt. It's similar to how every single major federal building has been built with measures to mitigate truck bombings since the mid 90s.

The point of that example is that no amount of egress or fire escapes are going to save people from a catastrophic failure situation. Hell, a door closing and locking failing--at the one time it shouldn't--happened, and no amount of extra doors would have changed that situation.

Property tax-payers are the people who are on the hook for municipal funding(new buildings and such) in addition to education taxes. Legislators are bending over backwards to keep those things down so they can get re-elected, and the side effect of that lowest bid electioneering is that improvements have trouble getting funding, like new buildings. There's enough money for renovations and maintenance, but outside of some places with good fiscal numbers the rest of the U.S. is stuck pulling the "make do" upgrading like when the military had to uparmor their vehicles for IEDs: you don't get a new one, you get an old one with new stuff added, because there's no money to just replace as needed.

My old high school still has the 1960s-era segregation water fountains installed and in use because they work in this, TYOOL 2022; those things are old enough to collect retirement, much like a lot of American infrastructure. Schools are among the institutions that get the short end of the funding stick, and gerrymandered old conservatives aren't going to vote for anything different.

Attacking women and minorities who are republicans ignores the fact that the republicans' core ideology says anyone who is not a rich male WASP is subhuman vermin. Don't waste your time focusing on kabuki theater like this, which is what the republicans want you to do, and instead focus on attacking the people who would actually be in charge if the republicans took over.

That is what the Parkland school shooter did, I believe. He never actually entered a classroom, but was able to kill 17 people.

I’m not sure if it came up in the thread but the inquiry into the mass shooting here in NS showed that one of the commanding officers showed up six rum and cokes deep and held officers back, including when four kids were on the phone begging to be rescued

Edit: he and one other cop got special privileges when testifying, including getting all questions ahead of time and being able to record their answers and submitting them or something

But I 100% agree. My high school was "OK" in that I was only verbally bullied to the point where I stopped going to school and had to finish high school a few years later in night school, but I know a bunch of people who had it even worse. And this was Finland in the 90s, which was a very tame place compared to some of the poo poo that was going on elsewhere, and is now going on in Finland.

I'm not surprised some young and immature people who don't yet have a ton of experiences in life reacting in very drastic ways to this poo poo. I am not condoning it, but I can understand where it's coming from, and beyond the obvious first move of "STOP LETTING EVERYONE HAVE loving MILITARY GRADE GUNS YOU loving MORONS" we desperately need more resources to combat this poo poo. This poo poo fucks people up for life and nobody deserves that.
