Nope, it does happen exactly like you described. The repression of Genova G8 by the Italian riot police and the Carabinieri was an example of "lovin' it".
Some of the participants in the brutalities called it a "mexican slaughterhouse" and several trials came to the conclusion that massive human rights violations have occurred.
Unfortunately the commanding officers have been promoted for not maintaining order and not exercising the authority over their men that their role demanded. They too loved it though and throughout.
- zepto 6y agoI said rarely. Not never.
- fsflover 6y agoSo what's your point? If it's rare than we should not hold the police accountable?
- zepto 6y agoWell I’d say the video you posted shows something quite different from the ‘Mexican slaughterhouse’ described by the parent. Are you saying doxxing and random retaliatory violence equates to ‘accountability’?

- zepto 6y agoThat doesn’t add anything at all to the argument. It’s just someone stating a position without any reasoning.
- fsflover 6y agoIt’s simple: Police should not have any privacy while working in public.
- zepto 6y agoAgreed, but there is a stark difference between privacy while working in public, and having their personal details circulated. This is why generally police are identified by badges with numbers, and rather than their names and addresses. Are you suggesting that the home address, name, and photograph of all police officers should be made publicly available everywhere?
- fsflover 6y agoAt least for the case of Belarus discussed here I see no other possibility, because the oppressors hide their faces and do not present any identification.
- zepto 6y ago1. You didn’t answer my question - can you say whether you think this should apply to all police, everywhere or not? 2. How do people know who the Belarusian police are in order to doxx them?

- zepto 6y ago#1 is a link to another place where you don’t answer the same question. #2 if you can identity the police using ML, then you can use those identities for any legitimate purpose that a badge number would be used for, such as collecting evidence against them, and clearly doxxing is not the only thing you can do.
