The Real Criminals

[roidingoldman@lemmy.world]

I literally never said anything about police. I'm not trying to argue about police. Just that the world is in fact a safe place that continues to get safer.

The machine works as intended.

Robbers are (allowed to be) part of it so they can take the focus, all the fingerpointing, be the big bad wolf mascot.

Not the bonus panel we deserve, but the bonus panel we get.

The true secret bonus panel is when the cop gets the bonus for the shooting.

I've literally never had anybody in my life experience multiple riots, lock downs due to a crazed gunman shooting up his black neighbor and people crashing, burning and dieing in their yard probably due to drunk driving EVER, until I made some American friends. Visiting them was also a trip, fuck they're paranoid, and honestly I'm not even surprised. You people have police officers stationed at SCHOOLS for crying out loud, how more fucked can it get?!? If I was forced to live in the states I'd also go fucking crazy.

There would still be people who stole if we lived in a socialist paradise. And they would still want to be called boss.

You'll notice that organized crime (ya know, as a metric of success) doesn't usually rely on robberies as their source of income. Robberies are risky and stupid.

Refresh your feed. They found him.

[samus12345@lemmy.world]

Yup, I saw an hour or so ago. Very odd to conveniently still have the weapon with him as well as a manifesto.

[gammelfisch@lemmy.world]

Spot on!

Unless of course you're either SUPER rich, a white supremacist, or both. Then cops are your ride or die bffs.

[zalgotext@sh.itjust.works]

I don't doubt that, but a lot of homeless people see living on the street as worse than living in prison

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

Honey it was literally the topic of the discussion. Please stop backpedaling, it's humiliating.

[majorhavoc@programming.dev]

I've been saving up for some space tourism, but you're right, it's time to buy a senator. (This is sarcasm.)

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

Praise Muad'dib!

The cops can plant as much evidence on Luigi as they want, that doesn't make him The Adjuster.

[cypher@lemmy.world]

Robbers are committing violent crime mostly against the working class.

Cops should go after both robbers and robber barons.

[dudedudenson@lemmings.world]

Honestly it seems the entirety of lemmy is just political extremists that will down vote any opinion that isn't in their ball park and only care about political talking points. I swear I miss reddit where I could have a feed of interesting stuff where I could scroll for 5 minutes in the toilet without seeing shit like this.

This kind of shit is why lemmy doesn't gather mass adoption

[octopus_ink@lemmy.ml]

I used to get so angry at posts like this. I was an absolute idiot back then. How the hell is this the reality we've allowed to be created around us?

[fauxpseudo@lemmy.world]

How does one create this comic and completely ignore that cops stealing via civil asset forfeiture take more than cops

[chillinit@lemmynsfw.com]

If I give you a benefit of the doubt then you're a pacifist. Where you're going wrong is in believing that everyone else should also be a pacifist.

Even the Green Party would kick you to the curb. You're a lone wolf that'll stagnate in neoliberalism like all the other lone wolves. It's a net negative to engage. Even if you wanted to learn the majority would turn you down because a Trump supporter would be a better prospective student.

Remember: You'll always be judged by the quality of your questions.

Good luck.
