dethkon posted:just think for a second that it's the same kind of thought that makes a lot of cops say "gently caress em all they're all just junkies/n*ggers/poors" when they're on their beats. It's over generalizing a whole group of people no they do that because that's the kind of people that police work attracts and that kind of attitude is encouraged within police culture

the way those robots disarm explosives is to roll up next to them with another explosive on a stick and blow them up, that's probably how they blew up the shooter

Mr Underhill posted:Did that guy who surrendered to the police and actually had nothing to do with it REALLY walk around with that huge loving weapon? Is that actually a thing in the USA? Holy poo poo. You just walk around with a huge loving killing machine like that? On the streets of Dallas? I'm being serious, this is mind blowing to this Eastern European. yeah we have a right to bear arms and that includes openly bringing a rifle to a protest, it's actually kinda cool

Mr Underhill posted:Hm, okay. Don't take this the wrong way, wasn't there a whole narrative on how people carrying could just take on these terrorists? Come on, dude, don't just give up your gun to the cops, what was the point of having it in the first place? Would he have surrendered it if he was white? This is all very confusing. that guy was smart enough to know that a black dude carrying a rifle had zero chance of leaving that protest alive once the shooting started. If he was white he probably would have been OK to keep it because cops would have at least hesitated to shoot an armed white dude. Not a black guy though.

Fire Barrel posted:I always thought they were supposed to have fitness tests and psych evaluations regularly. And yet it seems like a disproportionate number of cops are just fat bullies with complexes and guns. Its like these forces don't teach discipline either. i don't think they do because there are some seriously fat cops around here, I saw a guy directing traffic that had to be every bit of 400lbs if you really want to be a cop the #1 qualification is being able to pass a polygraph test about how much weed you've smoked in your lifetime

dog buttz posted:lol I know a guy who was applying to work in the sheriffs office or some poo poo. He lied about ever smoking weed and they called him out on it and told him there wasn't a cop on the force who doesn't smoke weed. i actually looked into working for the Pinellas County Sheriffs years ago and their hiring requirements mentioned marijuana a lot and even had a weirdly specific number of times you could have smoked it, above which you were disqualified. and the requirements also pointed out that you'd be polygraph tested about marijuana and your hair would be tested too they definitely gave me the impression that the most important requirement was not smoking marijuana more than like 6 times in your entire life

Nerses IV posted:It's $20/hr with time and a half overtime over 40 for people who don't need to speak English and learned their skills on the job. It's absolutely solid, and it can become a career if you've got an aptitude for construction. It might not be something to "aspire to," but it beats the gently caress out of quitting your $7.25 job to go sell crack or whatever. lol bullshit nobody is making $20 doing construction without certified skills and years of experience unless you are in some place like NYC that is all mobbed up with badass unions and then you have to have some way of joining that elite club

Nerses IV posted:Florida's construction industry is booming right now, so there's a shitload of opportunities for people who are hard enough to deal with it. The site I'm at right now has lady buckhoist operators making 15/hr plus overtime to press a button for 10 hours a day, and they get to attend the equipment training classes and get licensed to operate forklifts/boomlifts/etc for free if there's room in the class. But it's not something to "aspire to," so people don't even know it's there. The superintendents are constantly looking for reliable people to do the bitch work of construction (sweeping up, putting up safety signs, emptying trashcans) and they pay startlingly well but the only people who seek out those kinds of jobs are generally fuckups who stop showing up after a couple of weeks once they've got enough money to drink and gamble. i'm almost kinda sympathetic to this argument because if you go to a trade school for anything for like a year you can get your foot in the door somewhere that will eventually turn into a good job after a couple years of poo poo, and for some reason lots of poor people seem to be completely unaware of this and just work brainless retail and food jobs forever or give up entirely. it's a bummer. somebody should be telling high school kids that bare-minimum effort drunkass plumbers make $25 an hour and good electricians can be loving rich, like six figures. but we both know that unskilled black or brown dude with a clean record showing up to a construction company in the south to look for a job isn;t going to be making $15-20 for quite a while though, and probably not without some level of professional certification and training and a handful of luck thrown in

Solice Kirsk posted:I think BLM should stop asking for permits and police protection. Show them you don't need them and things need to change with or with out them. Arm yourselves following local law and start loving marching. You want to change something, stop asking for loving permission. if they don't get permitted then that's what the police will use as justification to go apeshit on them speaking as someone that grew up poor and white and living in really poor black and Mexican neighborhoods; if you gave me and my family the opportunity to forgo "protection" from the police in exchange for being left alone by them every one of us would have signed up for that in a second

Spunky Psycho Ho posted:Have friend steal item, report missing after he sells it to pawn shop, claim item at pawn shop they take your ID and even a thumbprint when you sell something to most pawn shops, so your friend would get arrested and he would owe the money to the pawn shop. If Florida wasn't barbaric the St Pete Times had a long article around Xmas a few years ago about a woman that had her digital camera stolen out of her car, reported it stolen, and it turned up at a pawn shop discovered by police during one of their checks or whatever. So the police call her and tell her where her camera is, and she drives to the pawn shop expecting to get it back and the shop owner was like "no you owe me the $100 that I paid the guy that stole your camera". So she called the cops and they came down there and verified that the shop owner was right. the punchline was that the woman was like "gently caress that" and didn't buy the camera back, then she went home and thought about how her kid's pictures and their first birthdays and poo poo like that were on the memory card, so she goes back and pays for the camera and guess what? the memory card was gone anyway.

Tricky D posted:Maybe the thing for #BLM to do is organize themselves into an effective voting bloc and stump for candidates of their choosing who will make the systematic changes they want. Not on the national level where politicians are least involved with the day to day operation of law enforcement, but positions like the mayors, sherrifs, and judges that preside over the most affected communities. lol like this is even possible you can't win anything as a third party candidate and neither of the two major parties will even consider a candidate for any level that hasn't been playing the local politics game for years and years to prove that they are 100% status quo and have lots of connections to money
