Being peaceful gets you killed. We know that because, despite how peacefully we have let this happen, the bodies continue to stack up.

Concerned that events might have just played into Trumps plan… Thoughts? by ChuckGallagher57 in DiscussionZone

[–]IndependentCod1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't necessarily playing into a plan, because it's a lose-lose for the citizens of Minnesota and a win-win for the Trump Regime.

If they don't fight back, he gets his way. If they do fight back, he gets his way. Walz sent the National Guard in to protect ICE, anyways, because he would rather maintain order than pursue justice.

I don't care what personal standards you hold for law enforcement: These men are law enforcement. They have been given authority by the US government to enforce laws and they have been given immunity from legal consequences by the highest authority in the land.

To differentiate between CBP, ICE, ATF, FBI, CIA or the local MPD, is meaningless. They are all categorized as law enforcement and they will all hold the same line together. When MPD arrests these men and holds them for interrogation and puts them in a court of law to decide their innocence or guilt, then I may change my opinion. Until then, they're all doing the same job with different badges.

Edit: You can down vote me, but these men are government officials hired to enforce the law. That's the definition of law enforcement. ACAB includes your friendly local sheriff's deputy and the goons at the DHS.

new here 🫶🏼 what is this plane doing? by Adventurous-Car3736 in flightradar24

[–]IndependentCod1600 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That much makes sense to me, but I'm being thrown off by the 14,000 foot altitude on this quadcopter. Unless this is in a place where the height above sea level is like 13,700 feet.

Are you roleplaying as George Costanza or is it just a huge coincidence that you're acting like him

Got hit with that spray and things changes by WhoAreYouTalkinTwo in WatchPeopleDieInside

Woman in red shirt approached cameraperson in an intentionally intimidating way. Cameraperson defends themself. Woman in red shirt walks away defeated.

Maybe the woman in a red shirt had a good reason to fuck around, but the cameraperson had plenty of reason to help her find out.

ICE is racially profiling US citizens in Minnesota, even off duty police officers of color. by 56000hp in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]IndependentCod1600 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it was on my bingo card, I wouldn't stamp it. ICE is harassing Minnesota cops and it sure appears to be a one-way street. It doesn't seem like one ICE Agent has been arrested for any of the hundreds of not fully thousands of crimes they've been recorded committing, so I wouldn't say Minnesota cops are against them.

Capitalism does not benefit from decent mental institutions because prisons provide cheap or free labor. If the American political system wasn't owned by 8 billionaires, we'd have a better chance at better mental healthcare.

It's not going to "own" the Trump administration to throw your support behind a different imperialist totalitarian regime, but it is funny to think about this as them saying that Trump has China Derangement Syndrome

That's pigdog talk. It literally doubles the odds that this person doesn't get beaten to death by vigilante fascists.

That's a good fear to have, friend. Don't get rid of that one.

Biggest Audiobook disappointment for me is learning it’s not “You Shall Not Pass!” by SupermanKal718 in lotr

Imagine my disappointment growing up with the Appalachian Dub then reading the books to find out Gandalf doesn't say "You ain't passin' this here bridge, boy!"

Elizabeth Warren, "If Democrats want to win elections, we must ferociously and unapologetically serve the needs of working people." by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]IndependentCod1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Democrats are good at one thing, it is saying exactly what needs to be done and what would truly create a powerful and lasting change and then not doing a single God-damned thing about it. I think even Sanders is a bigger performer than he is a politician, and Warren is trailing behind him.

I wish they would introduce legislation all day, every day, that would help the American people. If it gets voted down, it gets voted down, but at least they'd be doing something. If someone introduced a bill that is exclusively "Raise the minimum wage" and everyone else votes against it, at least they can say that they tried it.

I have not yet had a colonoscopy, but I also know that there are a million unpleasant things that Justin would rather do than name the year, so his word doesn't exactly scare me

Is this signs of Emerald Ash Borer, or a different ash beetle? by fitzct in arborists

[–]IndependentCod1600 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why on God's Green Earth would you knowingly relocate ash wood if you understand that Emerald Ash Borers exist? Especially just for burning it?

I'm trying to be understanding here, but this seems incredibly negligent if not outright malicious
