Throwing my #1 Dad mug in the garbage because I won't drink out of a lie.

Hopefully the next time they think about murdering someone they'll pause to consider this.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 21 points 23 hours ago

Just write his name before the #1 and it's a truthful mug again

"I would kill this shoplifter, but I mustn't forget that the Lepidopterists threw away his #1 dad mug"

Remember, if you're on the jury, you're not convinced by the evidence. You just aren't.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

Or the evidence displays the facts of the case and you decide he's innocent anyways because the law itself is unjust or he did nothing wrong. Jury nullification, a thing that's allowed but strongly discouraged.

The deputy was no angel. Plus I heard he had a gun on him.

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 87 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was wearing gang colors at the time his body came into contact with a vehicle

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 14 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Look at what he was wearing. He was asking for it. Did he even say no? How was the father supposed to know that he didn't want to get hit by a car? Are we really going to destroy this dad's bright future over one mistake?

Theetge said that the officer who shot the teen had said Ryan Hinton pointed the gun at him."Let me be very direct: We cannot allow individuals to flee from officers with a loaded firearm aimed at them,"

Look, I know we like to bash cops on here, but if you're in a life-or-death situation can you really rule out the risk of a teenager twisting his whole torso 180 degrees as though he had the spinal articulation of an owl so he can accurately fire his weapon that he definitely has while fleeing in the darkness?

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"He was running away! He might have shot me!"

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago

It's like they don't even care. You can tell the press whatever you want and they'll just write it the fuck down.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

Running like the guy from GTA 3 or Vice City.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 82 points 1 day ago (8 children)

This is why cops should support police reform. Otherwise, stuff like this is the only path people will see to getting justice when the police overstep, and it's going to become a lot more commonplace. Accountability, it turns out, is a good thing.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 45 points 1 day ago

there's no amount of reform that would help this fascist police force. The only possible path to an acceptable "police" would require a complete and total purge of the existing system, leadership and rank-and-file. The entire culture needs to be burned to the ground, the old organizations and unions dismantled

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 62 points 1 day ago

Yep. This is what happens when accountability within the system is impossible. What else was he supposed to do?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 57 points 1 day ago

Even as a young LIB I understood that giving cops a free pass undermines their legitimatcy as an authority and will only lead to accountability coming from the people.

Now I'm like, COPS HAVE NO AUTHORITY! cool-zone

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 16 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

even the "humane" and "benevolent" European police brutalizes/kills minorities and leftist en-mass, the changing of the class character of society is the only police reform that is worth a damn.

Exactly. Right now they’re used to eating donuts and beating up black children, do they really want the hostile populace they so desperately desire?

no, they want to feel tough.

they would fold in any scenario where the numbers and odds were actually even, let alone against them.

look how they whine at being in a population where a growing segment simply doesn't respect them.

if most of us were truly hostile to them or threatening, they couldn't move around in teams smaller than 4-6 and they certainly could not get out of their vehicles without support. like a drone watching from above and prepared to make something bang. the entire calculus of "patrol" would change drastically.

no more napping in a car or posting up in a parking lot and playing on the phone. no more walking into a restaurant or getting takeout, unless it's in some kind of Green Zone hardened complex. they would have to radio in everybody who was on a cellphone looking in their direction. they would have to live in a barracks and/or wear a balaclava literally everywhere, in the heat of summer. the job would become taking turns sitting at sluggish checkpoints with jersey barriers and going out to investigate junk on the side of the road that might explode and take a few of appendages.

they have no idea what kind of shitshow it means to actually police a hostile population with no obvious language or cultural barrier.

I'm the CEO of ACAB, and after a thorough internal investigation, we have determined Mr. Hinton did nothing wrong.

What I thought chuds lived by the motto "an eye for an eye"?

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 80 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All he did was send a cop on permanent leave. I don't see what the problem is, its what the state would have donetook-restraint

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he's saving the taxpayers money!

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Bit idea: twitter account that, in the wake of every cop death, estimates the amount of tax dollars saved in cop salary for the average career and keeps a running total.

compare the reaction to this to the reaction to luigi

us-foreign-policy

The comments i saw on 10 seconds of scrolling through YouTube just now were all supportive though

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

spoilerI'd agree with you more if he got the pig who actually shot his kid

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ACAB includes all cops. It would have been better if he hit the pig that killed his son but I won't cry for this pig either

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 13 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

I'm just saying comparing the reaction to luigi would be more apt if if was the sae pig, the act itself is good and proportional

they're the thin blue line. They stand in front of the pig to eat the bullet and protect him. It's all the same.

[–] WizardOfLoneliness@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Im glad he fucking got him, that's something they'll never be able to take away from this man. His son's mmurderer got squished and they can't do shit about it

[–] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He unfortunately did not get the cop that shot his son.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think he got a different cop

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Totally different cop who was in fact retired. Probably the least important cop that could have been chosen

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

I'm calling it ahead of time: Deputy Henderson is going to have some skeletons in his closet the-pigs

Clearly wasn't murder, because it was justice. Of course the corrupt judges and "lawyers" will say it isn't, while ignoring the cop murdering someone running away after ~maybe~ they stole a car. I know fedposting but everyone keeping this guy in jail deserves being run over.

""I’ve known Rodney since I was 15 years old. That wasn’t the Rodney that I knew. It was like his soul wasn’t even in his body," she told NBC News after the bond hearing.

"And I can only imagine what he felt when he saw that video," she said emotionally. "Because when I finally seen it, and I watched that video from the beginning to the end and watched my nephew drop, it was like my soul left my body. So I can only imagine how his father felt.""

Judge should order the immediate execution of every cop involved with the poor kid's murder.

Meanwhile your dad would be like "I don't approve of the police killing my son, but violence is never the answer (unless it's against my son by a cop)".

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 9 points 22 hours ago

I want to see a superhero comic about Luigi and Rodney teaming up.

Absolutely opposite of acidified
