You should try going in your house and watching TV. It’s a subtle revenge, but it’s the only one that will yield a result that doesn’t end with you red faced and embarrassed, Karen. if the cops didn’t step in it was probably during the day, and thus not a violation.. The neighbor doesn’t have to answer his door just because you knock on it,, and you can get fucked. take home lessons: 1. get fucked Karen. 2. don’t point cops at anything you don’t want to die you cretin. It’s dangerous dipshit.
You’re the guy that talks in the theater, leaves popcorn and soda all over the seat, etc. We know who the dipshit is here.
Also. The cops don’t just kill pepper for no reason in most of the world. Sorry you live in such a shithole. But it’s not as universal as you hope.
And you’re the guy that calls dangerous thugs to your neighbors house because you don’t like his tunes. I’m sitting pretty in comparison. even if the made up bullshit you said were true. Don’t call cops to peoples homes asshole. You’re just causing trouble, and your lucky no one has died.
Cops aren’t dangerous thugs where I live. Maybe you should move. Not everywhere is like where you’re from. OP is in the UK. Police brutality in most places isn’t like it is in Florida.
every cop in every country is two things: 1. a thug who is willing to commit violent acts. 2. a dangerous authoritarian.
Find me data that says interacting with the police over a noise complaint in the UK takes more years off your life on average than not being able to sleep. Idiot
You’re just a wannabe social anarchist. It’s ok to do anything harmful to others, and there should never be recourse for the victim, right….
No one can be this stupid. Has to be trolling.
Lol. couldn’t get it all out in one go? I’ll give you a few more minutes to gather your thoughts, in case you think of something else witty you’d like to edit in. Try not to call your brute squad on a barking dog while you’re thinking.
It must be really scary for you in this world.
some day you’ll understand the difference between fear and anger. today is not that day.
So are you going to produce any data to show that calling the police to someone’s house in the UK put them at a non negligible risk of being killed or injured by those police, or are you not?
Are you just going to keep assuming that America’s issues are universal rather than accept that America is broken?
Lol. I readily accept that america is broken. but cops are the same everywhere. I believe you had some riots about that a while back. The only difference is armaments. An authoritarian is an authoritarian. there were over three hundred police caused deaths in england and wales between 2021 and 2022, not too shabby for such a tiny place. on top of that there were over 1500 cases of police abuse in london just last year, that’s mostly beatings, rapes, and other forms of sexual assault. no matter how you want to splice the numbers the odds of a person experiencing violence or death are higher when a police officer is present. So any situation where you willfully involve law enforcement makes violence more likely. So don’t call them unless you want someone to be hurt or killed. That’s just basic safety.
RIP banned from /c/unpopularopinion lol
Hmmm. you make some mighty fine points there son. Looks like you were following me all over the place. I’m always happy to meet a fan. it wasn’t a ban though, which was a shame. They just took down the post. A ban from a community like that would look great on my mantelpiece. Feel free to keep following me around if you like.
I thought your post was funny, they should have kept it up. It says from my notifications that you have a community ban.
In any case, its a sign this place is too much like reddit, as you said. Mods on a power trip can't stand people using the community for its intended purpose.
We’ll if that’s the case I wish they’d have sent me a notification. I collect bans from hate subs. Sucks not having receipts. I mean, I blocked the community, obviously, but I don’t think that would stop mod notifications. I wonder if it was because my opinion was unpopular.
You have yet to demonstrate this
No, I didn't have riots. I don't live in the UK anyway if that's what you're inferring.
Why lie? The number is 217. A number that includes all sorts of things, including people dying of natural causes in police custody or dying shortly after police contract, for example in a traffic incident of their own causing. What's the comparable number for the US? We know that US police shot over 1000 people dead last year. That's just one type of killing and given the population difference between the UK and USA it would put them at an equal rate, but that is ignoring the fact that the UK number is for all deaths, not just direct killings. The number of fatal shootings in the UK in 21/22 was 2.
Only if you live in a 3rd rate country that doesn't have a proper police force. I'd have no issue calling the police on someone if they were causing a disturbance and I'd have no fear for their safety. Similarly I'd have no fear for my safety if the police were called on me.
Projecting America's problems onto other places is absurd and demonstrates a complete lack of awareness of places that aren't America. You need to look outside your bubble and stop pretending that everywhere else is as shitty as the US. Also stop looking at situations as being black or white, presuming all cops are bad is stupid. Thinking in absolutes is not a good way to live your life.
