They wouldn't have been shot if they just complied in their sleep/without any commands being given/while actually complying/etc.

What cops actually mean is "They wouldn't have been shot if they were just part of the owning class instead of the working class."

"Sadly the suspect was too poor to afford his 'don't shoot me I have money' card"

funny meme, but let’s not forget that police violence isn’t an exclusively american problem.

ACAB means ACAB

I think there is a reason why that phrase is used in America so heavily.

they didn't say it isn't, they said there's a reason it's used SO HEAVILY in the US.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but the USA seems to be making a point to make every social issue it deals with so much worse than the rest of the world. Even things like slavery - the old world slavery seems almost humane compared to the American version.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

This is actually a really interesting point - European-introduced slavery in the New World was probably the most horrific form of an institution that is already pretty inherently horrific. It started off, well, about as bad as any other form of chattel slavery that accepts high death rates, but escalated through the 17th and 18th centuries to something quite uniquely horrific, finding its final and most vile expression in the racialist ideology of the late 18th to mid 19th century.

Poor pigs, intelligent and caring creatures that suffer immensely from humans, only be used as an insult for those very same (violent, emotionless, greedy) awful humans.

On the other hand, a pig once peed on my leg at the county fair, so it wasn't all that caring.

And when a pig pees, it pees. It's like being hit by a hose.

Not that I'm in favor of farming them, I'm just saying that pig was a jerk.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 9 points 5 months ago

Can you blame him? It was a human
But yes, they can * p e e *

[–] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 6 points 5 months ago

that pig was a jerk

probably jerky by now

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think it has something to do with wallowing in shit.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago

Nah, that’s Diaper Don the Orange Turd, he doesn’t change regularly apparently - pigs prefer mud.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Fuck the police.
