That's not a mechanism for unlinking.
> Government efficiency is an anti-feature. If police save 50% doing something a certain way, that just means they'll do twice as much of it.
In other words, you want to abolish govt spending. Great!
- mindslight 15y agoIf one refuses to cooperate with an arrest it's reasonable for the police to carry out the procedure without the person's cooperation, but this is a far cry from forcing the person to cooperate through physical abuse. If one goes limp during an arrest, it's not unreasonable for the police to carry them, but it's highly unreasonable for the police to kick a person on the ground until they decide to get up of their 'own' volition. Also, it's not my job to brainstorm ways for the police to carry out their missions, and some things will always be physically impossible for them to do. Tough. For example, it's probably impossible to read my encrypted disks. Does this mean the police, in the process of collecting evidence, should be able to beat me until I unlock them? > In other words, you want to abolish govt spending. Great! You state this as if you expect it to be incongruent with my beliefs. Honestly, the most worrisome part of OWS is seeing supposed small-government people supporting heavy-handed disruption of the protesters.
- anamax 15y agoLots of words, but you still haven't explained an acceptable-to-you means of getting them to unlink.
