    Yeah that’s called escalating. If the Nazi’s policy is to kill on sight, the solution is to kill the Nazi before it sees you.

    That dude is basically ordering Florida civilians to engage cops in guerilla warfare.

    Nice police-work, dipshit. 👍

    I mean, saying this is only going to escalate the situation and increase the tension.

    What if the protestors say back in return: “If you point a gun at one of us protestors, your coworkers will be notifying your family where to collect your remains”?

    The dude is just asking for a fight.

    There it is. Law enforcement has openly declared to kill protesters. You now know that you must fight them like your life depends on it, because they have admitted their intent.

    This is exactly the behavior your 2nd amendment rights are meant to protect you from. They are ready & excited to kill you. What are you willing to do to stop them?

        God, I have read this title wrong. I read that Germany will equip policedog with Tasers. I was already picturing German Shepherds running at people with tasers in their mouth.

      This is the “freedom” they were spreading.

      It’s the reason everyone in Iraq knows how to build IEDs

        Same here, they are crooked af, but at least they can kill the civilian criminals who do extortions, vandalism, keep planting bombs in front of houses to get money, kidnap people and murder people on the streets over a few coins and phones

          Thank goodness for legalized murder. Feeling so much safer, knowing my executioner has a rank and a pension.

            You have no idea how much of a feeling of safety we get when we see a police cruiser patrolling the neighborhoods.

            Fuck the crime infested city I live in.

            The only bad part is that the corrupt government keeps treating the criminal scum as people.

    This is why I went from supporting gun control to not supporting it anymore. Cops should absolutely fear armed protesters in all countries.

        Im so sick of this argument. Tell me again how we were defeated in Afghanistan? The US military has a horrible track record when fighting against insurgents and guerrillas.

    The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.

    99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it’s not on this page.

    When cops are caught breaking the law, they’re investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers’ names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.

    When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with ‘law enforcement experience’ and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It’s called “Wandering Cops.”

    When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: “testilying.” Yet it’s almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.

    Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don’t, they aren’t cops for long.

    The legal doctrine of “qualified immunity” renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past ‘qualified immunity’ is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.

    All this is a path to a police state.

    In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.

    Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.

    That’s the solution.

♦ ♦ ♦

Our definition of ‘cops’ is broad, and includes prison guards, probation officers, shitty DAs and judges, etc — anyone who has the authority to fuck over people’s lives, with minimal or no oversight.

RULES

① Real-life decorum is expected. Please don’t say things only a child or a jackass would say in person.

② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.

③ Saying cops ANYONE should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not.

④ Please don’t dox or post calls for harassment, vigilantism, tar & feather attacks, etc.

Please also abide by the instance rules.

It you’ve been banned but don’t know why, check the moderator’s log. If you feel you didn’t deserve it, hey, I’m new at this and maybe you’re right. Send a cordial PM, for a second chance.
