Why do all their jackets look three sizes too big?

I mean, something has to counterbalance their headwear.

That’s nuts, I didn’t know that!

I believe the full report uses the language “epidemic” of dog shootings by police, and highlights that it’s hard to estimate accurately because many departments don’t consider it something they even need to report.

That’s how little of a shit they give about shooting your dog.

I hope what it also means is that the secret service (or would it be FBI) will be paying them a visit.

Ah yes, that’s exactly what I said.

Good point, I was imagining a fairly idealized version of it I suppose.

That’s all well and good, but can we talk about proper use of this meme template?

I had no idea what those were called, thank you! 🙂

I don’t know what that means, but I’m upvoting it because I feel like I should!

I would unironically love to drive something like that. Yes, I see the many ridiculous things about it. Don’t care!

OMG LOL!

Best part is honestly further down the page:

Whew. OK man. Have a nice day.

Wow what a dodge. It doesn’t matter the extent of the trauma or whether it’s the worst trauma they have had. You are minding your own business, have done nothing wrong, then the cops show up with a random accusation and “need” to put you in cuffs while they determine if you are a threat. Comply or violence. It’s not right.

And I’m saying, even if they are polite, they are polite because I comply. If I don’t really want to be in handcuffs right then - doesn’t matter. If I’ve got an important appointment or was about to leave to pick up my child from school before police arrived to “make sure I’m not a threat” - doesn’t matter.

Your options at that point, even as someone who has done nothing wrong are comply, or expect violence. THAT is inherently traumatic.

I don’t disagree with you about this specific case, I was reacting to your “people put too much stock in being cuffed.” Removing another person’s bodily autonomy under direct threat of violence is just another day for police, but for the rest of us it’s a pretty fucking traumatic thing to be on the other end of.

Perhaps if you don’t understand what police officers go through, I could see it.

I understand they can pick a different job if it’s too much for them, and that they knew what the job entailed when they picked the career in the first place.

I always felt like people put too much stock into being handcuffed or not

Too much stock? Your bodily autonomy is being removed, under overt threat of further violence if you resist. It’s humiliating if seen in that condition because of assumptions people make. For someone who has done nothing wrong why the fuck wouldn’t they be indignant?

I’ve been handcuffed before, In a similar but not nearly as severe circumstance.

Me too, and I knew that they at least had a reason to think I was up to no good (I was not), it’s not the same as literally minding your own business in your own home and having them barge in. Not really apples to apples to this situation here.

But we gave Palestine a table to sit at in the UN! /s

I wonder if the cops threatened this guy with their weapons while he burned to death like they did that other poor soul.

Look, I agree with you, but you are giving the maga crowd far too much credit. The maga crowd.

Imagine for a second a single person who is going to vote Trump in November forming this thought:

one they are eating pets out of starvation/need, or it’s some kind of cultural miscommunication. Either way it’s a failure on our end to provide or educate.

My favorite was when she clearly (very clearly IMO) seemed about to say “…but this motherfucker…” and restrained herself.

Surprised the US didn’t block it somehow.
