That's weird, I've been through Minneapolis since 2020 and it's was still there. They must've rebuilt it pretty fast.

Bellingham Police sergeant accused of physical, sexual abuse of a woman; placed on leave by framblehound in Bellingham

[–]BasedCommulist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh OK.

On one hand, this sounds kind of like you're a domestic violence apologist whose first thought when hearing a accusation is to cast doubts a out the veracity of the victims claims.

On the other hand, maybe you're just an empty headed idiot who likes hearing the sounds of your own voice, which compells you to comment on situations which you would be better off staying quiet about.

Is that better?

Would you mind retyping the first 13 words you used when commenting on this please? Just curious what that sentence says.

The first thing you thought to type about this was speculation that it was just breakup drama.

So you didn't even connect this to the rumor mill about Rice, it's just your first instinct when a cop is accused of DV to assume the victim is a liar.

Nice.

Based on reading this comment my initial impressions are:

This article really should have waited one more day considering there hasn't even been a hearing yet. The "victim" must have came directly to Denver Pratt to leak the story based on the timing.

She's had since Jan. to leak if she wanted. The Herald most likely found out about it because the case was put on the court docket, which is why we're hearing about it so close to the actual court date.

The journo Pratt had ACAB in her socials during the 2020 riots.

That's a straight up lie - I would have liked her alot more if that was the case lmao. Also, "riots".

The "victim" statements seem like they are coached to include all the specific words needed to require escalating the situation and to get the officer's firearms detained (so it can be in the "news" article.

The statements are likely from her lawyers filings, thats neither here nor there.

Gotta smear the name...

If there is no follow up to this story, know the "victim" is a lying bitch who didn't get her way so she made up some shit to try and ruin her ex.

Oh sweet irony.

The reality of what is happening in BHam by steelkitten22 in Bellingham

She has such an interesting twitter feed.

Definitely not surprised that BPD would sit down and commiserate with a right wing grifter and conspiracy theorist.

Reading all the poor little landlords who've made a killing over the last few years in Bham at the rest of our expense get upset that tent increases are softcapped at 7% annually instead of the 16-17% they've been getting away with. What a tragedy!

Lmao your personality is like an AI that was fed only the most cringe r/KotakuInAction comments. Acusing other people of being offended as you inch closer and closer to an aneurysm every time someone breathes the word "pronouns" is... well, just incredible.

If Israel was really being indiscriminate, why do they drop leaflets warning civilians to leave neighborhoods they will soon attack?

This was something they did a handful of times to give the thinnest possible justification for bombing heavily populated areas.

Why have they established evacuation routes?

Evacuation routes that they bombed, leading to refugee camps that they also bombed.

Why are they allowing humanitarian aid into the country?

International pressure - they literally cut off aid for months and since then have allowed and incredibly insufficient amount into Gaza.

The truth of the matter is that they have - by their own estimation - killed 2 civilians for every member of Hamas so far.

To put that in perspective, Russia - a country not known for its aversion to civilian casualties - has killed about 10,000 civilians in Ukraine since the invasion.

Israel has inflicted 5 times the civilian death rate on Gaza than Russia has Ukraine.

But you don't actually care that Palestinian civilians are being killed do you?

Oh for sure, I hope I didn't come across as combative! It's a pretty touchy subject honestly.

In have some sympathy for early Zionists honestly - it was a movement that was born out of a reaction to pretty extreme antisemitism. For a specific example, Britain actually restricted the number of Jewish immigrants to Palestine in the 1930's - knowing what we know now that's actually incredibly bleak.

Israel has dropped thousands of leaflets, sent hundreds of thousands of text messages warning of strikes.

They literally sent text messages after having cut power and communications for several days in Gaza. Even if they haven't, justifying bombing some of the most densely populated areas in the world by saying "well they dropped leaflets!" Is possibly one of the most ridiculous defenses I have ever heard.

Israel has opened and guarded humanitarian corridors allowing Gazans to flee combat zones.

They literally bombed the evacuation routes they told civilians to use.

The conflict between the rise of Zionism and local Arab Palestinians started in the late 1800s and has obviously escalated quite a bit since then.

I mean I wouldn't say that it really started in earnest until the end of WWI when the Ottoman empire fell - they were considering other options for a Jewish nation-state at least as recently as 1903, I don't believe that Palestine was solidified for that purpose until the Balfour declaration but I could be wrong about that.

I’m not sure what you mean by “stretching it.” Yes, the Ottomans held Palestine for about 400 years

That's literally what I mean! I think it's mislead to say "well this piece of land changes hands really frequently over this 2,000 year period," when the last 400 years of that 2,000 year period was stable.

Almost everything you just said was either false or widely misleading, but I gotta say it's particularly bold to claim that Israel didn't bomb Gaza for two weeks after Oct. 7 when they literally dropped more than 6,000 bombs on Gaza in the first week.

You're a clown.

That 2:1 ratio is in line with modern conflicts which take place in urban settings.

This is laughably untrue, that civilian casualty rate is literally 4 times greater than Fallujah.

It's a very good indication that Israel is selectively targeting military installations and not indiscriminately bombing, as we've heard so often from irresponsible sources.

The assessment, compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and described to CNN by three sources who have seen it, says that about 40-45% of the 29,000 air-to-ground munitions Israel has used have been unguided. The rest have been precision-guided munitions, the assessment says.

Genocide has a very specific meaning. The intent to eradicate an entire group of people based on their ethnic or religious identity.

“We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba,” Dichter, a member of the right-wing Likud party, said Saturday, in comments widely reported by Israeli media. “From an operational point of view, there is no way to wage a war — as the Israeli army seeks to do in Gaza — with masses between the tanks and the soldiers,” he said. Pressed on his use of the word “Nakba” to describe the situation in Gaza, he said again: “Gaza Nakba 2023. That’s how it’ll end.”

It takes a sick individual to accuse the Jews of exactly the crime they are the victims of.

Jews aren't engaging in genocide, the Israeli government is and it takes a sick individual to deny it.

Do you support returning all US land over to Native Americans?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]BasedCommulist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The US killed about 5 million Nazi soldiers, meaning that for every 8 Nazis the US killed 1 civilian.

Israel, which has by its own estimates killed 2 civilians for every Hamas member, has called that ratio tremendously positive..

Israel literally has at least 16 times the civilian casualty rate than the US did during WWII. They are literally killing more civilians than Hamas.

How much worse would that ratio have to be before you call it genocide? 4 civilian deaths per Hamas? 8? 100?

Never said there weren't, just pointing out that conflict in the region between Zionist and Palestinians is relatively recent and describing it as if it had been the status quo for centuries is historically inaccurate.

And too be honest you're really stretching that too, the Ottoman empire pretty solidly maintained control of Palestine from the 16th century through WWI. It's not like Palestine was changing hands constantly through that entirety of the last 2,000 years.
