    Rotties are a lot like pibbles in that they are very sweet and caring with their family unit, friendly, goofy and happy to please everyone around them.

    So, probably the worst.

    *sigh*

    Because of dog-fighting culture, most police/LEO's assume that a dog that is barking or growling is being aggressive. They're not. They're nervous and afraid for their family, they're scared shitless because they don't have the tools to deal with random aggression, and they need to be calmed down with friendly voices, calm tones and lots of love. But because some dogs are from large or muscular breeds, everybody thinks they're gonna go all Cujo and shit. They don't want to, but they will as a last resort if they think you're gonna hurt their family. And cops are proving every day, for two fucking months, that they want to hurt people, they want to enforce their dominance and they want submission by any means necessary.

    ....

    As a personal aside, I have seen a 5'7" marine calm down a 6'5" marine with severe social anxiety who was about to completely lose his shit over something very trivial that some fuckers started. She calmed her husband down and then proceeded to whip wholesale ass on the three other fucksticks who didn't know about her second-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

    In summation, the rottie is the big, gentle boy who needs to be protected.

    The terrier?

    She'll rip your fucking testicles off.

    edit:

    Please let the puppy be okay.

    The cops were the only ones on the scene with guns.

    A cop was shot.

    We cannot confirm who shot the cop.

    Has Biden said he wouldn't sign legislation defunding or abolishing police?

    Has Biden said he wouldn't sign legislation defunding or abolishing police?

    "I don't want to defund police," Biden said. "I want to get police more money in order to deal with the things they badly need, from making sure they have access to community policing, that they have also in the departments social workers, psychologists, people who in fact can handle those god-awful problems that a cop has to have four degrees to handle."

    Maybe they’ll use it for more bias training so that they can then later shoot the trainer in the crotch destroying his testicles

    Anyone who is okay with Biden wanting to give police more money, no matter what stipulations he tries to put on how it's spent, was basically being a performative supporter of BLM and should be ashamed of themselves.

  • PiptheFairPiptheFair Frequently not in boats. Registered User regular
    what if the stipulation is that they are no longer allowed to carry guns and instead have to kiss people gently on the forehead

  • RoyceSraphimRoyceSraphim Registered User regular
    I am sure an audit of any police department would free up enough "lost" funds to cover any increase they would like.

    this isn't directly BLM-related, but being that the NRA is a white supremacist terrorist organization, it is good news that new york's AG is trying to dissolve the outfit because of fraud

    it's 'cause of fraud and not the white supremacy or terrorism that they have done, but basically any future that involves the NRA going tits up is better for it and i hope this works out

    Okay that whole LAPD thing like

    everything that's been mentioned aside

    "taken into custody" presumably means jail here right?

    because you know what makes a suicidal person not want to kill themself? being incarcerated.

    fuck this whole shitty system.

    I cannot get over the fact thay the NRA exists as it does now due to one dude joining up and changing the spirit, and that south park covered this when eric cartmen jumped into the future over a wii.

    Good times.

    The NRA has always been racist, it specifically, publicly excluded several times

    Most recently Philando Castile

    But it excluded Blacks from it's inception, if memory serves me correctly

    And it thought Reagan was right to disarm private citizens, because those citizens were Black

    That’s the thing though: he’s reading the room just fine.

    The Democratic Party is very clear in their method for obtaining votes. Wealthy white folks should be enticed, all other groups should be coerced.

    Sort of annoying that quotes don't work from closed threads.

    Anyway re: SPD and sweeps: Yes I'm aware they do them anyway. They're still illegal. What, you think cops follow the law even most of the time?

    it's just you'd think they'd be less overt about it, considering they need a lot of votes from folks who aren't wealthy or white

    this is shit you say when you're already in charge and you don't need to worry so hard about distancing yourself from the competition in an election that is gonna be pretty close

    Its not particularly unexpected that most liberal support for the protesters has proved performative but man, it feels bad every time.
