Not saying I enjoy it. Not saying that I’d drive a giant banana either. But if I saw a police car, pull over a giant banana, I would think it was hilarious. That’s the definition of whimsy.
- wat10000 3mo agoWhimsy should be consensual and not involve the threat of violence.
- delecti 3mo agoBeing pulled over is a command under threat of violence, by an agent of the state empowered to use deadly force, who is mostly insulated from the consequences of poor judgement or abuses of power. Being pulled over by cops cannot be whimsical.
- hluska 3mo agoThankfully, not everyone thinks like you do. I have zero problems with police and never have. I trust you’ve heard of different opinions?
- delecti 3mo agoWe can hold differing opinions about whether state sanctioned threats of deadly force are whimsical, but that is unarguably what being pulled over is.
- mrguyorama 3mo agoPlease tell me which "differing opinion" excuses rampant theft through Civil Asset Forfeiture which cops don't seem to have a problem with?
- classified 3mo agoThe use of deadly force on unarmed civilians is a fact in the US, not an opinion.
