Copchat is being detained and will be placed here for the safety of the rest of the subforum. Do not resist.

And this not open season for shitposting. You wanna do copchat? Do it properly. Use your loving words.

Isn't the klan an example of an "armed working class" itself though? Not that klan leadership wasn't almost completely overlapping with the political leadership of that area, but plenty of the rank and file were/are just blue collar racists.

More class traitors since they were working to suppress other members of the working class.

Professor Bling, is there any reply from one of the few cops here beyond “Golly Gee, you’re right, I’ll suck start my service weapon before the end of my shift!” that would satisfy you, or what? It’s one thing to be rightfully and seriously skeptical about policing in the US because there’s a ton of hosed up and reprehensible poo poo that happens, but your response to anyone else is just the same ACAB shtick. Is there anything else that could actually change your mind?

Well the CE thread got closed because apparently we're not allowed to disagree with banning guns? so why not talk about it here instead, since it seems like another topic mods don't want to deal with

Did I say "don't talk about this" or did I say "let's take a break?"

People were winding up a poster who was still able to articulate his argument while clearly being emotional about it, which is something you've never been able to figure out.

It was that or a carpet bombing. Weird how you're only okay with less collateral damage when it benefits you.

Yes, absolutely, I should have articulated my reason for closing the CE thread. I take the forum/discord overlap for granted and I need to be more mindful that what I say in there isn't available to everybody.

Honestly, I can only imagine that any of the style guides would say that if you're using triple parentheticals (or more) in one sentence, your sentence structure is hosed up beyond belief.

She probably intended to commit murder when she did absolutely nothing to help after she shot him.

It does if you work from the assumption that they planned a murder to protect one of their own. If you dont think that then it sounds like they're trying real hard to keep the peace and they're worried that people pushing conspiracy theories without evidence are going to make it hard to do that.

Edit

It could definitely have been phrased more eloquently, but I doubt the DPD chief is well versed in leftist twitter or PR.

I mean, it works equally well if you don't think that they planned a murder but are complicit in covering one up. :v:

It says their words may jeopardize the integrity of the PD.

Not that the words impugn the integrity. Not that the words are doubting their integrity. The words, in and of themselves, jeopardize the integrity.

There are like a dozen versions of “no one can take your integrity from you; but you can give it away” quotes out there.

Saying that words from others expressing doubt in the PD’s integrity may cause the police to shed their own integrity reads as a threat.

In fairness, I think this ascribes more competence with the English language than the person who misspelled "jeopardize" possesses.

So you're going with the "cops intentionally made this threat" interpretation instead of the "whichever moron was too fat to work the street and got stuck on social media duty cant write good" interpretation?


Or more eloquently phrased:

Why can't it be both? You can still argue "if you know what's good for you you'll be quiet about this" is a valid reading of the tweet AND say "wow, way to wordsmith that tweet guys"

So basically our options are "too incompetent to not voice a threat publicly" or "too incompetent to wordsmith a statement that doesn't sound like a threat."

Doc Hawkins posted:

this seems like a great example of gunpower: that someone had a gun is ventured as a justification for a cop killing them with a gun. this is offensive from an abstract perspective of a right to bear arms, but makes perfect sense if you feel the purpose of that right, and of guns themselves, is to enforce our society's current hierarchy. in that light, it is natural for police (and men and white folks in general) to order, threaten, and kill people within their socially recognized area of control (a "beat," an ethnically privilehed neighborhood, a house, etc).
