If you haven't traveled/lived in many major cities since covid, they are all the exact same now. None of the police are working. I'm in Denver now, previously Austin in 2019, Dallas 2020, Denver 2020+, and Denver banned qualified immunity so the police work even less. Seattle just did the same thing + IIRC king county is doing that "police cant lie on stand" or whatever law. I lived on 2nd and congress in Austin for 12 years until 2016 and the entire downtown has turned to absolute trash.
I'm sure its the same in Chicago, LA, Portland, Tampa, etc and I don't even need to ask.
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoThis sounds like a serious symptom of something being deeply fucked with policing in America. Qualified immunity doesn’t exist in other first world countries with effective policing, in fact, the police in America have a lot of latitude to do all kinds of insane shitfuckery that doesn’t fly elsewhere.
