Statistically equal to the odds of north Charleston being burned to the ground.

I don't believe in the death penalty because it costs too much, but it this case I can support it. The death penalty is as much about the victims and the community as it is about keeping a person away from the rest of society.

murdering another person because they murdered someone is an idiotic way to approach justice, even if this guy is part of the "bad guys" in your point of view.

104 is probably within margin of error for testing, showing them to be nothing more than average when it comes to a specific intelligence test.

That's pretty smart, I didn't know they started giving it to cops so thanks for that. The reason I hammer on calling EMS is that a lot of google educated recreational drug users buy naloxon and use it as a replacement for calling EMS when suspecting an overdoses. While it is a great working antidote, fact remains that even hospitals have opioid OD patients die while in their care.

About the wallgreens: is naxolon already an over the counter drug in the US?

fairly certain its not an over the counter for narcan yet but there are programs in certain states for easier access to it

We're also the nation that in 2012 incarcerated 716 people out of every 100,000 and has a justice system predominately based around punishment rather than rehabilitation, using prisoners as cheap labor and using gradually increasing fines and fees as a way of gathering income. We also regularly deny rights to ex-cons and vilify them until they're ostracized from society and are thus very likely to return to a life of crime. We're generally kinda really lovely when it comes to criminal justice.

And then you have a prosecutor coming into the thread and literally mocking the notion of rehabilitation.

You know, I'm usually pretty sympathetic to gently caress the police but it's hard to get angry at Baltimore PD when this is how the residents behave.

Also it should be pointed out that while MLK himself was peacefully protesting other people certainly were violent.

also civil rights era protests were treated exactly the same. why can't they just protests in X way instead of Y???

lots of people confusing "peaceful" with "nonviolent"

selma bridge certainly wasn't peaceful in any regard. when people say peaceful nowadays what they really mean is "does not inconvenience me or make me feel conflicting emotions"

do you mean peaceful in terms of police response or??

Foma posted:

Here is the thing that is different now and why protesting is a counterproductive. The government learned to make sure police are not abusive to peaceful protestors. In the 60s we had Bull Connor unleashing dogs,hoses, and clubs on peaceful people galvanizing support for those we saw as facing injustice. Today the police hang back and protesters are "given room". So the public doesn't see peaceful protesters getting abused. They instead see the rioters whom the protesters unintentionally bring out abusing the community working to galvanize people in the other direction.

JFK said
"The Civil Rights movement should thank God for Bull Connor. He's helped it as much as Abraham Lincoln."

yeah now peaceful protesters are just completely ignored in both media and national policy

edit: also youre completely ignoring peaceful protesters as recent as last year being physically injured by police

Love my state, guess being the first to gay marriage and universal healthcare just got blaise.

They've had a big problem with opioid-related deaths in the past couple years, so it's a shame it took this long but at least it's something. Gloucester is a hell of a place to roll this out but they also need it in other cities/towns throughout the rest of the state.

As an addict, I can't even imagine being in withdrawal while in jail. Not only are you having to deal with withdrawal, which is hellish and torture in and of itself, but you're also having to deal with the stress of being in jail and not being given access to what little can help or ease the withdrawal.

Like, just the thought of being in that situation makes me feel sick, and I cannot even imagine what sort of person could see someone going through that level of suffering and show no empathy. And that's not even mentioning the whole "letting a person die (likely related to dehydration from the withdrawal)" thing. I can't even comprehend what would make someone such a bad person.

because people in these positions tend to not view the addict as a person, or at least one worth empathizing with in the first place anyways. they see the addict as vermin or scum not worth their time and only worth derision.

It's a post lamenting that cops don't lose their 5th amendment rights by becoming cops.

it's a post lamenting the differences between normal citizens and a cop when in similar situations.

So they have in fact answered your question, you just seem to have missed it.

Lol, a one line barely answering the question, which is directly contradicted by his hundreds of posts in this and other threads being an unabashed apologist for every cop that murdered someone.
