Police dogs are another insane thing we allow. You can be mauled by a police dog and if you hit the dog, you get an assault on a police officer charge. It's bad enough a cop can permanently disable you if you can't follow 3 confli

The exceptions to the rule are very rare. I can think of one case where a person shot back during a no-knock raid on the wrong address and had charges dropped because police didn't announce their presence well enough. As long as they s

Police regularly ignore evidence that disproves their claims. They will not prove your innocence for you. It will still be up to you to pay the lawyer 1000s of dollars to do the discovery against flock cameras to attempt to prove your innoc

I was trying to hide my power level but yeah, the point is to maintain a permanent "underclass" that can't pick and choose what work they take. If everyone was truly free, we'd have to pay the real price to clean up shit

This is the big problem with mass surveillance as a whole. With enough time, they'll find some pretext to bring you in, even if the original crime they want you for is weak. This will ruin lives, even if they're eventually let go.

People tend to view these things as "pop the drug, and you're cured" but if you really want to make the most of the neuroplasticity, you need to make a conscious plan ahead of time so that you can guide the trip and focus on

Yeah, Disenfranchise the hippies and the blacks by targeting those communities with heavy policing. Sorta like today where there's similar drug use levels between white and black populations, but one side is more heavily policed than t

I'm wondering what they could have done differently here. The report said it was a 0% moonlight night, extremely dark. No exact position from GPS, and visuals on the landing strip. That mountain peak would have likely been invisible fr

You probably don't have that same opinion when Government funds(tax dollars) go to paying out lawsuits over police brutality.

I've actually considered premium linoleum for the give underfoot. LVP is such a terrible flooring. Sure it's cheap to buy and install, but man you feel that cheapness.

With how few trans people are, the people among them who have detransitioned is even smaller. I'm not sure why these people should be the only ones that are taken seriously. They're nearly as big of grifters as the "tied-in-f

This thread will likely have extensive hate on a very small portion of the population. A reminder that actual people have been turned into a cultural wedge issue, their lives put in danger due to the vitriol the culture war issue has stirre

Due to the southern strategy that has been cemented into 1/2 of the available political parties for the better part of the last 50 years, outspoken evangelical groups hold an outsized influence on policy at large. Evangelicals are also

Love to get absurd strawman arguments from the billionaire bootlickers. "Creating value" only means something if you can eat a spreadsheet.

This statement is borderline sociopathic. Social programs, buses, and trains enable any of that development at all. When you cut after school programs and social hangouts, kids get into trouble. Buses and trains multiply the economic potent

This is sorta the reasoning behind statements like "billionaires shouldn't exist". It's not a statement that people shouldn't see fruits of their labor, but that past a certain point, its no longer about the fruits

Something I think is funny is that a lot of Chinese police think of themselves as catching up to the US in terms of surveillance tech. Think about how many internal migrant workers China has coming to the cities for work then back out to th
