I guess if that's not a police sniper then it would be okay to aim green or blue lasers at them?

If I paid that much tuition I don't give a gently caress if every kid in that graduating class is a Genuine Grade A Hitler, I want my show! I want to see my baby walk. If even rich people are fine with their kids being beat at the request of a foreign government then our ruling class is truly washed.

There was actually some reason, I forget what exactly, for the legal fiction of a police marksman as opposed to sniper, I think going back to the 60's. I think it had to do with the language needing to at least giving the impression that the police exist to protect, and at worst intend to arrest, people, rather than just having officers whose sole job is to kill people, without attempting an arrest. I'd have to look it up but I think it was how those Phoenix Program veterans in LAPD were able to get SWAT signed off on, since originally the whole concept was concerned inappropriate-to-illegal. I realize that obviously, it doesn't really matter, but liberalism operates in these mandarin legalisms, and there was a lot more resistance to this in the 1960's, even by establishment squares.

USC and Texas are prestigious schools that attract their fair share of future failchidlren elites but I don't think those are the same kids as the ones being beat. Probably some overlap though given how widespread and overbearing the beatings have already been.

They are definitely not fine with it, is the problem for Israel. They're asking us to disrupt the generational process of bourgeois reproduction so they can build settlements in Gaza. The American ruling class doesn't do self sacrifice.

The Met, which created the professional constabulary, had a Rifle Squad, but they were trained to shoot to wound, which I think was how this sort of police sharpshooter thing was conceptualized in most of the English speaking world until, well, Vietnam. It's just funny how quickly and easily we sped from "No constable should have to use his truncheon", to "No constable should have to carry a pistol", to "No constable should have to carry a rifle", to "No constable should have to carry a rifle, but we have them locked up in the station", to "No constable should have to carry a rifle, but we have them in the trunk of some cruisers", to "No constable should have to carry a rifle, but all cruisers have one in the trunk", to "Of course we have HSLD teams that wear balaclavas to hide their faces from the public, and are rocking rifles and Multicam exclusively". I mean, obviously not a revelation for this thread, but none of this has made people safer. In the case of Texas, I mean Uvalde is right there. Functionally there was no difference between BORTAC (the Border Patrol's Tier Two Team [wtf???]) being on the scene and if there had been a Bobby with a stout .455 revolver, other than I would hope the Bobby would actually go into the building. It's not novel to notice the militarization of police, it's just that, even surface level, they don't seem like their job performance has improved.

They're also a nonprofit and pay 0 taxes while being the largest landowner/landlord in NYC. So there's way the feds could gently caress with their money. Hell theres a bill in the state assembly to revoke nonprofit status for Columbia and NYU that could be supported by the right wing now out of spite which would be fun y.

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:it's supposed to mean you don't shoot at all, unless killing the person is actually the justifiable goal. and, that was supposed to mean that generally you don't shoot but here we are Yeah, you nailed it. I was reading that even in the fabled Wild West, despite the popular memory of famous gunfights, most lawmen didn’t draw their guns in their careers (presumably not counting on Native Americans), so did this all start in the 1950’s or something, and if so, why?

It started in a rough sense during antebellum, pig didn't need to draw their gun to kill black people, and as the original purpose of "police" at this point were slave catchers, they had become obsolete and entered a phase of reinvention. Then in the early 20th century when the Mafia got out to Los Angeles the lapd made incredible strides in the science of extrajudicially killing them, and those methods were then turned on black people en masse, there and elsewhere. That's my brief rough read of it.

There was that wave of people like Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde, and it seems like the FBI’s intention was always to kill them.

https://www.statesman.com/story/new...ed/73468467007/ All charges have been declined against the 57 people arrested in connection to the Wednesday pro-Palestinian protest at the University of Texas. The Travis County attorney's office said all 57 arrests, which were all criminal trespassing charges, lacked probable cause. [...] Although the charges have been dropped, it's possible that police could decide to fill out more probable cause affidavits and press charges against those arrested, George Lobb, an attorney with the Austin Lawyers Guild, told the Statesman. Police have two years to bring charges against those they arrested under Texas' statute of limitations for misdemeanors. Stephanie Jacksis, spokesperson for the University of Texas Police Department, said she's uncertain if UT police intend to do that.
