This sounds like I am reading some dystopian book, not news.
Why would a police officer make a medical judgement like that?
Because he won't face any consequences
At worst he’ll get a paid vacation
Did you catch the part about this particular cop being the "top earner" for homeless camping tickets?
Small win for her, at least she balled up the fucking citation and threw it on the ground. What a prick.
He was also already on suspension for covering up the excessive use of lethal force when they found this footage.
A friend who quit law enforcement (he was a sheriff's deputy, not police) explained that while the sheriff's office is publicly funded, most police agencies are funded by the general fund of a city, which is where the revenue of their tickets go, so it invariably evolves into rent seeking behavior as law enforcement.
I'm going to be sick 🤮
I prefer this one
Depending on your color or sexual orientation you were always in one. It's just affecting WASPs now
Let’s make sure to undermine any growing solidarity by taking shots at each other over race/culture war BS at every opportunity. It’d be a shame if we were all on the same side.
Last time I checked it was white ppl who have stopped in its tracks any class based solidarity because as LBJ put it
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
But I guess the rest of us are just suppose to forget getting fucked over in the past and hope it doesn't happen again
Dude, I’m agreeing with you. Getting hung up on past wrongs that one group’s parents did to another group’s parents is totally more important than mending rifts in our society and working together for a better future for ourselves and our children. After all, it’s totally the other group’s fault anyway.
Yeah because we all know everything that happened to black/brown ppls parents suddenly stopped after MLK and their kids aren't getting pipelined into prison or killed by police anymore.
And we should all definitely trust WASPs even though they were the largest voting block responsible for voting in a facist whos campaign ran on making everything harder for lgbtq, black and brown groups very existence. But hey they're happy a CEO got killed so let's just stick our heads in the sand
This shit literally makes me sick. How can people be so disgusting assholes.
AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!
