minus-square520@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-210 months ago I like the part where I never said otherwise, but you’re supplying single instances of police abusing their power. I provided one example. There are hundreds upon hundreds of others. Or perhaps I should provide you links about how this is literally how they’re trained to operate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETf7NJOMS6Y But it’s not like I’ve been saying that cops never actually face threats. They do. But they treat literally everything as a threat on the off chance that they might accidentally be correct.
