The police and the fascists are on the same side.
- hertzrat 6y ago“The Police” is an over generalization. We shouldn’t ask the police to both intervene while also calling all of them fascists.
- bilbo0s 6y agoWhat we probably shouldn't have done was to hire the people we hired to be police in the first place. That was the mistake from which all others followed. If the people you hire to police your laws will only police the laws they want to police, or even worse, will only police the laws against a certain demographic of people, then you don't have a police force. And acting like these people are police inevitably leads to scenes like the one we see today.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoWe can’t identify a problem and demand a solution?
- hertzrat 6y agoThere are police officers who mean well and also officers who abuse their power; and police forces in different places have different institutional cultures and leadership, some of which are odious and some of which are good. "The Police" is a very broad term
- eyelidlessness 6y agoLook, it’s not like the bad apples theory hasn’t been debated to death. If you’re uncomfortable with the “good apples” being tarnished by the “bad apples”, you’ll have a better impact by working to change the pervasive culture of: - those “bad apples” being almost universally exempt from meaningful accountability proportional to their power and actions - those “good apples” being unwilling to lead those accountability efforts, or even to just distance themselves from the “bad apples” to set a better example - the clear and consistent bias overall in favor of these far right/fascist actors, including numerous times being caught on camera actively coordinating and ample video evidence of such bias in plain view If “the police” don’t want to be viewed as a homogeneous pro-fascist force, they need to not act like one.
- chordalkeyboard 6y agoYou contradict yourself when you identify a problem then ask that problem to kindly solve itself.
- watwut 6y agoThis amounts to argument that if cops feelings are hurt, it is ok for them to let things just happen. I mean, we expect more from snowflake sjws.
- philosopher1234 6y agoYes we should, because both are apt.
- Afforess 6y agoYep: https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1346909804036386816 https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/1346909804036386816

- tharne 6y agoIf you're going to make a sweeping assertion like this, it's important to show some concrete facts to back it up. Kind of like claiming an election was rigged :)
- rorykoehler 6y agoThis is a coup attempt. Why was the Capitol not cordoned off ahead of time (they even do this for small evictions etc) and why have the attackers not been shot? This is absurd. What kind of facts do you need?
- paganel 6y ago> the attackers not been shot? Because that would have caused a bloodpath? Even the CCP didn't do that in Hong Kong, they let the protesters invade the local legislature and that was that, what are they going to do in there, anyway?
- tpmx 6y agoRight. The Capitol building, while historically important isn't magical. Effective coups typically begin by taking control over TV broadcasting facilities. Maybe the next effective version will be hacking Facebook and Twitter, simultaneously...
- znpy 6y agoI came to say this in a more ironic way, but this is clearer. During the BLM protests the police wasn't late at showing up fully armed.
