the judge system arose specifically to counter a society behaving like ours. it would not surprise me if that big paradigm shift we're all expecting turns out to be that for a period of time, law enforcement gets a lot more brutal.
Law enforcement brutality has been on a gradual increase since '97 and the North Hollywood Shootout. The entire nation watched as the standard police force at the time was outgunned easily by these guys and was directly cited as the reason why LEO agencies began requesting high powered rifles en masse in the 2000's. Since then, it's been a gradual militarization of local police forces everywhere with weapons and vehicles previously associated only with the theater of war being commonplace in their arsenal.

But when a nigga got the strap, it what you gotta roll up with these days.

It's a shame though that currently the police are operating with both hands and legs hog-tied behind their back, having to fill out paperwork in triplicate and talk to a counselor if they raise their voice to a suspect and hurt their feelings.
 
Normie conservatives are really desperate for acceptance by the entertainment industry (and society in general), which is why they overvalue negro-entertainers' opinions if they have a conservative-like take a few times. People who are so far gone that they're talking politics on KiwiFarms have already rejected giving a fuck about what the entertainment industry thinks entirely. I think the normie mindset was more popular in Trump's first term, before they tried to imprison and assassinate him under the pretense of democracy, but sadly it still exists because too many people are niggercattle who like niggerball way too much.

My favorite are the anti-trans activists who got on the bad side of Liberals over the years (Jesse Singal an example) who, now that the world has started walking back that insanity, are trying desperately to get back into the fold. Jumping on the "Trump is a Fascist" bandwagon.

it's not too bothersome for me to see it either, because i've never had anything but pleasant interactions with LEOs even when it was me they were 'interacting' with. if you don't chimp out, most of them are very cool, other than sometimes having an ego about being a cop and thinking that automatically makes their opinion on anything mean more (separate from the law they're enforcing).

how we don't have police secretaries doing this paperwork at this stage is beyond me. it's not like it would be any more expensive than hiring those stupid crisis de-escalation teams libtards want, and it'd make paperwork for shootings much easier to find and faster to get into the system. but it wouldn't directly benefit bulbheads and brownies, so libtards don't give a fuck how it might make law enforcement easier, what a silly thought that was.
 
You mean boomer conservatives. MTV is dead. Legacy media is dead. Hell disney is scrapping hulu, Jared Cushner is trying to buy warner brothers. Legacy media is dead. It's now lolcow content creators and vtubers. That's partly why we have such a weird political shift and a huge political divide now. TV is dead, and the propagandists never bothered to adapt to the new technology or the new ways.
TV became Netflix and sports is still very popular even among young people. The zoomer leftist's version of Jimmy Kimmel is legitimately Hasan and Destiny. I think these institutions have more inertia than what you said, but I do agree they're handily losing the culture war. The internet has made it easier to prove that the circus is gay, plus lefties and normies constantly prove they're downstream of right-wing memes/formats. If you see a novel format, quote, or meme from the right, you'll probably see it blatantly and shoddily copied by the left within 6-12 months.

I thought comparing Hasan/Destiny to Jimmy Kimmel seemed retarded at first, but then I remembered that Jimmy Kimmel started his career with lolcow-like antics like going on TV in blackface and running an early 2000s version of those sexual harassment pranks before finally developing troll's remorse and becoming an ideologue for The Message, making him more comparable to lolcows than I first thought. The behaviors don't change, only the medium does.

The hand tying and oversight red tape is an over correction, imo. But the problem that it seeks to address I think is a valid one. We really do throw people out there with a badge and a gun with insufficient training and there's a direct pipeline from 4 years of military to the force, and that brings the wrong mentality to the job without that training. There are absolutely people who shouldn't be cops out there and they get to operate with impunity without some sort of oversight or accountability. There is no shortage of video out there of cops doing the dumbest shit and being assholes simply because they can.

But yes, if you don't chimp out or have warrants and try to run, cops will generally get bored with you quickly. But this also requires submitting to them on their whims at times, which people of every race, political ideology and background have issues with. However for normal people, interacting with cops is usually very, very rare. If you find yourself constantly dealing with a cop, then you're probably making poor decisions.

Which I don't actually agree with. Humanity, in general, needs to be motivated to contribute to society. And the only effective motivations are either money or violence. Money, through the system of capitalism. Or violence through the system of authoritarianism / communism / ect. The exchange of money for goods isn't exploitative at its essence. The effects on society driven by the bottom line is.
The thing I think you’re getting at, I categorize more as “corruption” than exploitation in my own mind, because government is supposed to, at least in theory, balance negative societal effects and business interests. Instead, they decided to focus on messaging because they believe it’s easier to change our opinion than institute policy, and they don’t want to interrupt their donors.

Also, they’re corrupt
The day before this chick got ventilated, the subreddit SipsTea had a trending post showing a white woman getting arrested: the interaction proceeded very calmly, and she was even allowed to walk to the cruiser without handcuffs. Because she was polite and complying the entire time, all the comments were talking about her White Privilege and how if that were a poor Brown person, they'd be tackled and in cuffs (not even addressing the difference in attitude of the suspect).

Where are all those commenters now, I wonder? Did the White Privilege Fairy just kind of forget to wave her wand over this particular woman? Did the wand surreptitiously download the latest right-wing patch that excludes faggots? I don't miss being banned, but hot damn if there's not a slew of smart-ass remarks I'd love to male over there (and get banned yet again lmao).
Being a teenager in a state that was at the time 93% white, I feel like I got to experience some of what the browns complain about. Yes, every time a cop saw me they assumed I was doing something wrong, and half the time I was

The issue isn’t cops being hamstrung, it’s the whole criminal justice system.

If you look at most criminal records, people often get very sweet deals and zero time because the system is full of lazy retards who don’t look at the concept of justice as a prime focus, but instead time and cost.

Judges and state don’t want a trial 99% of the time. They think that letting a nigger retail thief ring go is a greater cost benefit to the state rather than go through a basic criminal justice process and system to punish offenders. You would think people in the criminal justice administration would have the benefit of the American people and ideal of true justice, but instead they don’t believe in broken window theory and are more than happy for you to be raped to death by niggers if they can save a few bucks and hours.

From now on all law officers will be given the Lawgiver from Judge Dredd to ensure that they can safely disable the engine of a vehicle in one shot. The leftists will love this new step toward a safer world.
The Karl Urban version is better, but fuck, I love the Stallone movie
 
that's a cool way to say you're an assassin who uses knives, right?
Sorry to Squidward mode, but I worked in a supermarket before. While the world is constantly changing in negative ways, I believe it’s still the case that the meat department often gets large chunks of animal in boxes, and it’s up to the department manager to issue guidelines on how to cut it up in the best manner to get it all sold.

Sometimes my market basket (if you know, you know) still sells some occasional interesting shit like seven bone chuck or even just chunks of cow femur to make stock

They used to regularly sell tripe and suet that you’d put out for the birds in winter, pig feet and cow tongues
