This quote is goddamn amazing if you've ever had to deal with having a merchant processing account :stonk:

quote:

Jason Miller, a spokesman for Mr. Trump, downplayed the rash of fraud complaints and the $122.7 million in total refunds issued by the Trump operation. He said internal records showed that 0.87 percent of its WinRed transactions had been subject to formal credit card disputes. “The fact we had a dispute rate of less than 1 percent of total donations despite raising more grass-roots money than any campaign in history is remarkable,” he said.

That still amounts to about 200,000 disputed transactions that Mr. Miller said added up to $19.7 million.

The know-nothings are BRAGGING about an 87 chargeback ratio

The original article also points out that Navario “eluded” the officer for roughly a minute and that the cop knew that people often drive to well-lit areas to stop, and that 80% of the people who do so are POC, who for some mysterious reason have developed a phobia of being shot by police.

The cop who deployed the pepper spray was loving delighted to do so, and his teenage looking backup gets a look on his face several times that says he knows this poo poo is getting out of hand. How on earth is “Yeah, you should be!” an appropriate response to someone saying they’re afraid to step out of the car? I honestly can’t fault the LT for keeping his hands out of the vehicle because at least one of those pigs would have probably yelled “HE’S REACHING!” and shot him had he opened the door from the inside.

The fact that they let him go without charges suggests that they KNEW they super hosed up and were hoping that he wouldn’t file a complaint. Neither of those cops- especially the one who instigated the stop and escalated everything involved- deserves to wear a badge again.

Also, I sometimes drive that stretch of road between VA and the NC border and you better believe I drive the speed limit and make sure all of my lights are working before I get south of Richmond. I’m a white dude with a clean record but know I’m more likely to have a bad encounter with a bored cop on a power trip there than just about anywhere else I visit.

Honestly, they probably harass and bully all local POC to the point where they are afraid to report them. Who cares if Johnny down the block files a complaint, just Officers Billy Bob and Jimbo to put the fear of god in him to recant.

The 2LT was passing through, therefore the cops probably didn’t think anything would come back around to them until they realized he was going to be out of their jurisdiction to abuse their power further to cover up the incident.

While it sucks it happened to this kid, I’m glad he’s ok and hopefully shine the light of the corruption and abuse of power while getting a paycheck out of it.

Down south, they're not limited to just hassling POC. It's certainly a strong preference, but they will absolutely turn the eye of sauron on anyone who crosses them, with impunity.

A while back, there was a goon who was a Chicago cop in the '60s and had a thread about his experiences, with an emphasis on how corrupt it all was. There were two questions and responses that stuck with me—





Obviously the emphasis in these questions/responses was on corruption, but racism and brutality are almost certainly the same way. Generations of cops have been trained to think to shoot first and project authority, and the institutional culture has been baked in to a level that would make it almost impossible to eradicate without an extremely thorough sweep, which would be almost impossible for any municipality to actually undertake. Changing police training and ejecting David Grossman into the sun would help, but reforming policing in America is going to be a long, painful road no matter how it happens.

Tokaii, right? That was a great thread.

I've known some racist as gently caress firefighters. Didn't someone on here have a story about inheriting a relatives house in Mississippi or whatever and received friendly advice from the neighbors, "if you rent it to black people it's going to be really unfortunate the VFD didn't have the response time to save the house."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet_chicken_processing_plant_fire


quote:

Emergency response was delayed because telephones inside the building could not be used. The plant owner's son drove to the fire station and informed them there that the factory was on fire but did not say that workers were still in the plant.[3] More than 100 medical and emergency service personnel went to the scene,[1] some of whom ran from a local hospital, and nearby towns provided emergency evacuation for the injured via four air ambulances from the local hospital to nearby burns units.[2]

The response came under heavy criticism. Fire Chief Fuller, in charge of the emergency response, refused help several times from the Dobbins Heights fire department, five minutes away from the plant. The Dobbins Heights Fire Department was composed of African-American volunteers and most of the workers were also black, and there were allegations of racial prejudice from the Fire Chief. Fuller has defended his decision, saying at the time he refused assistance and did not realize the doors were locked, adding "In a fire like this you need good, seasoned people." Witnesses have also said that there were only two oxygen tanks on site to help smoke-inhalation victims.[7]

Fuller was asked to evaluate the emergency response for investigators. He said he felt there were "more than adequate numbers of personnel and equipment given the layout of the incident site".[2]

They are still looking for the dude. The area is set up in a way that they need lots of people to look for someone that is trying to hide. Lots of trees and hiking trails, parks etc.

I’d be willing to bet that they know exactly who he is. They likely already know of him from previous domestic calls to the address. So it could be reasonable to assume that the dead were the only targets.

I’m not trying to make a commentary on the normalization of events like this, I’m just trying to provide context from the area since it’s very close to me and I’m familiar with it.

Edit: they just said they do know who he is, they are looking for him etc, they don’t think he is looking to shoot anyone else.

yeah no poo poo they know who it is, he's one of theirs (and out on bond for child rape)

Dark mode has been on the awful app for a while? It's how I've read the forums for years.

Only thing I can't figure out on the awful app is making a new thread, and we don't need me learning how to do that. There's a lot of black holes to scream into here already.

I believe the app devs stance on that is "You can't, and we are never ever adding that functionality because we don't want to hear about it when you autoban"
