Why don’t you go act like a cop somewhere else? Maybe instead of policing people’s Lemmy behavior you should, idk, do something useful with your time?

Lemmy supports crossposting. If you don’t like it, go take it up with the devs?

Actually it’s a crosspost, and the article is linked in the original post.

Ah, sorry about that! Didn’t think about it but it makes sense! Fixed!

Meh.

Distinctions without differences IMO.

“lawless bunch of thugs with no rules and total impunity” is the definition of “police”.

Every point you’ve tried to make can be made without asking people to pretend that the “regular” police haven’t committed the same atrocities time and time again.

Pretending that ICE is uniquely different from other kinds of police damages the movement for police abolition.

This information could be presented as a bulleted list that takes <10s to read. I don’t need or want a video of it.

What are you talking about?

Their vests say “POLICE” right on 'em.

Did you mean they’re not local police, maybe?

If it looks like a pig, acts like a pig, and smells like a pig, it’s probably a pig!
