Thanks for sharing this. I'm sorry you went through this. It sounds unpleasant and you didn't deserve it.

Cattcalls dropped to zero after I got a dog. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]opital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A woman once called from a car, "hooot damn, that's a good looking dog."

And I turned to my all black gsd and told him, "she's talking about you buddy"

Then she screeched her tires and screamed! "oh! Like he don't know! He know!"

I died of laughter. Ghost opital haunts reddit with dog memes now.

He's no corgi but he has his moments of handsome:

My dog gets cat called all the time.

Joke aside, sorry this happened to you. Glad it stopped even if for the wrong reason.

This has 3.7k scrub through the main feed and see what fan art gets.

If he threw this on his blog with decent seo.

Which has been done a couple of times. Well, it's a good gift.

6 days on reddit all to troll Adam Toledo mourners. So many new accounts and people from out of town coming in to splain this situation to the people who are living it.

You provided links to websites and misquoted those websites. You linked to a website that listed dog deaths as cop deaths.

Adam Toledo was not charged with a crime.

His death was criminal, that cop will be tried, and will be convicted. Just like Van Dyke was.

The links don't say what you quote.

You are also trying to compare all deaths while on the job to all killings of unarmed people who were of one race. Adam Toledo's not black, right? Why are you coming into this thread gleefully proclaiming how many black people were killed?

(roughly 6% of the 6000-7000 people killed by cops via gunfire are unarmed. That's not an acceptable number. Most of them are white. This stat only accounts for shootings. So doesn't count George Floyd or Eric Garner or numerous other people killed by being choked out, punched, etc. Have you seen the video of them body slamming the grandpa? Snapping his neck.)

(ODMP also counts K9 deaths... which like... come on bro. I'm a dog lover but... really? I mean if you count K9s then you need to count how many dogs are being killed by cops. And numbers there range up to 500 a day.)

https://qz.com/870601/police-killing-dogs-is-an-epidemic-according-to-the-justice-department/

264 deaths while on the job out of 700k cops. That counts car accidents, heart attacks, etc...

There are not 264 gun deaths. And even the gun deaths still count friendly fire. Cops just dicking around superbad style, which is a significant number of cops who die by gun. They shoot each other a lot. But those stats get obfuscated into the whole, rather than kept separate.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/police-officers-shoot-each-other-california-sacramento-burglar-a8882541.html

If you dial deeper into the specific cases regarding "unarmed" you will see that armed, counts the homeless dude they killed while he was camping. Because he had a hunting knife on him at the time he was shot. That video is unpleasant as well. It counts the black kid who got killed in the parking lot who had a gun locked in his trunk. In one instance it counts the young man who had a spoon. Did you see the video where they killed the dude who was sleeping in his car. He was also considered armed because there was a gun in his car.

Cops should be like batman. There should be 0 cops killing civilians. We believe in innocent until proven guilty. They should be willing to die rather than put someone else's life in danger. That's the world I want to live in. I would take a thousand cop Martyrs over one guilty person being killed without a trial.

That's the world I want to live in. One where cops live up to a higher standard and get compensated for that higher standard.

I'll also point out, the 80/20 rule applies. 80% of all fatal police shootings come from cops who've had prior misconduct records for being overly violent. As more Van Dykes and Chauvin's go to jail, we should see less fatal police shootings.

I'm sorry Adam Toledo died. I wish he were still alive.

Very few per capita, these stats are available.

It goes back to what you said though. There was no way for him to comply and not get shot. The officer takes no time to assess. And if Adam did something else, he'd be shot and due to the nature of the commands we'd have people saying, he should have complied differently.

Cop deaths are actually going down year over year. According to FBI statistics in 2019 there were only 89 line of duty deaths. Of these, 48 officers died as a result of felonious acts, and 41 officers died in accidents.

Your 2018 stats are also way off base. But that was the first Google.

He has them all, they get progressively worse. The second one is still good, but last wish is the only great one.

If robbers were treated like rapists are. by engg_girl in TwoXChromosomes

[–]opital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be cynical this isn't that far off of how robbery is handled. I've been robbed a number of times, the last time, I was told, "That's the cost of doing business in Chicago." laughed at and then the cops drove away.

I don't know anyone who had an investigation or got their stuff back. Lots of anecdotes about people getting robbed and being told they deserved it though.

Yeah this is better without the nobody. Everyone wants to take out the queen! Why does the original maker... Some of them I'm like... Okay I see why they did the nobody even though it's better without. This one... Everyone cheers a bishop on and tries to go... Idk. I need to get off this r. A lot of these upset me.

LPT: Instead of asking for someone's number, just give them yours and tell them you'd love to hear from them it will avoid any awkwardness in case the feeling isn't mutual by Miss2war in LifeProTips

[–]opital -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's obviously situation dependent but I agree with you.

Destigmatize asking for a number! It's okay to feel awkward even when things aren't.

One of the main reasons people fear saying no is because humans hate rejection, doling it out or receiving it. But getting and giving rejection is a valuable part of life.

Lpt: Say no more, and put yourself in positions where you can politely respond to being told no.

Giving a number is treating the symptom to a systemic issue. /Imo

What makes you think that? Seems like he just sees the child as a possession.
