    I’m just shocked that the NYPD didn’t kill 50% of the people arrested. Most useless bunch of assholes on planet earth.

    I say this as a NY’er and as a person whose personal experiences with them have taught me that they’re absolute trash

      They’re bullies with badges, that only stop playing on their phone long enough to harass a POC.

      Man, forget evil for a second. Every interaction I’ve ever had with the police I’ve ever had has left me feeling the ghost busters would be more effective. Just fucking pointless

          Wow I really hope you’re being sarcastic because small town police forces are the absolute fucking worst.

      NYPD compete with LAPD and police gangs in LA to see who can be the greater fascists.

                  Holy shit guys, take a breath and figure out what you’re arguing about.

                  ME5SENGER_24’s comment was technically unclear (yes I think it reads the way they intended it to, but I can see how it could be read the other way), and (des)mosthenes thought that “Most useless bunch of assholes on planet earth’” referred to the protestors, therefore thought the comment seems like it is wishing that the cops had killed 50% of them.

                  ME5SENGER_24 didn’t realise that their comment could be misconstrued, so lashes out at (des)mosthenes and calls them “fucking stupid”

                  Now they’re both all worked up, mad at each other, and not realising they are on the same fucking side. Just Take a moment, relax, try to see why someone might be confused, and talk it through. For fucks sake

                    One thing I’ve been noticing more and more lately, is that Lemmy just seems so damn angry. Everyone is ready to fight everyone else, and they’re all way too eager to deal out their own brand of “justice” to whoever they feel has done wrong by them.

                    Just read some of the comments on this post and you’ll see people ready to kill the cops over this.

                    Ohh, I see now how it could have been misread. Good eye, friend. I thought desmostenes was just a butt weasel.

            You’re a fucking moron. He was using hyperbole to express his point. If that somehow should exclude him from the conversation in your eyes, you’re the problem.

            You gotta be human first before you can be dehumanized.

            Let’s be real they don’t deserve better.

              Never dehumanize. It is a road that only goes down, there is no upside.

                No one’s obligated to become a cop.

                Edit: I do agree with your overall point though
