[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is something. It reminds me of the fact that conservation incels are constantly posting about low-level crimes, smash & grabs, and no bail offenses. However no one talks about these mass shooters, majority teens, realizing that cops won't engage them anymore.

The Uvalde school shooter ran past multiple cops and a school resource officer to get into the school. His only protection was a locked door to the classroom and he still managed to get away with his shooting.

Cops are not willing to risk themselves for anything or anyone.

I literally want to vomit reading that thread. And that repeats itself over and over and over across the country. That thread has layers of relevant sht in it: the deification of cops despite the fact that not only are they human, but they tend toward cowardice just as often as regular people do. Maybe because they’re so poorly trained.* The fact that women and children are disposable in our society and that the police and GOP lawmakers reinforce this in a thousand ways. The fact that domestic abuse is an enormous predictor of gun violence (and is a throughline in all mass shootings; you can’t tell me the Uvalde shooter shooting his grandma was his first act of domestic violence because it wasn’t). The fact that Republicans are the most useless POSs and the reason, if I may use their religious framing, that we cannot have the heaven on earth that Jesus promised us was at hand if we took seriously his injunction to love one another.

Defund the Police is a crappy slogan but the thinking behind it is valid. Police don’t solve crimes and they don’t stop them. But cops are good at harassing Black and brown people.[/quote]
