Please Justify This Police Action For Me

[onlinebiker]

They're pepper-spraying children, How do you manage to have the worst take possible on this?

You clearly haven’t been paying attention to his pofsts. Playing devil’s advocate (especially when it’s fucked up shit like this) is kinda his thing.

Where the fuck do you get off?


Is being a presumptive asshat "kinda your thing"?


Has it ever occurred to you I don't agree with your cookie cutter mindset?


Don't even think you can tell other people what I am about.

You aren't qualified. Not even fucking close.

[Rev. Rye]

You act like I haven't seen you do shit like this over and over, reading a story of something fucked up, invariably making statements that either sound like they're justifying the actions, or mocking us for actually reacting like people with functional moral compasses and then refusing to own up when called on your bullshit or acting defensive when pointed out that the ideology you kept spewing mapped pretty cleanly on the right-wing (views on abortion and marijuana aside) even if you don't actually vote for any Republican politicians or belong to any right-wing organisations.

And just to use one other example, here's this thread from a week ago where you mocked us for A) thinking that placing pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC buildings was a big deal because the bombs themselves looked like shit and ended up being defused before they could blow up, and B) hypothesising that a Trump supporter probably put them there.

But, hey, who knows, maybe it's foolish to act like patterns in behaviour or posting are a thing worth noticing.

Where the fuck do you get off?

Spare us the false outrage 

Is being a presumptive asshat "kinda your thing"?

No, but telling inconvenient truths is his thing 

Has it ever occurred to you I don't agree with your cookie cutter mindset?

By "cookie-cutter" you mean sane and rational 

Don't even think you can tell other people what I am about.

What are you going to do to stop him? And he's spot on anyway so your bitching is meaningless.

You aren't qualified. Not even fucking close.

Who decides if he's qualified? You? Don't make me laugh.

snipped for brevity

White separatists soured on marijuana as a criminal issue when the police state started using it on them instead of it's intended targets.  

Similarly, abortion is a-okay with the crowd that dreams of ridding themselves of all the useless takers - as long as it stays on target, as above, ofc.

Yes do.  Because we all know the only factor in a person's size is how many Big Macs their parents forced them to eat.  Genetics don't come into play.

That poster claims assumptions are facts as a means to feed an agenda.  Such is the manna of theists.

I don't care how fat or thin she was, how dangerous can a cuffed 9 year old be (or how wimpy are cops these days?)

[The Grand Nudger]

She annoyed them, and our culture has convinced the industry that they work in that they can get away with this sort of shit. It's routine. They're no more scared of her than they are of the people they shoot.

Many kids have horrible parents and overcome that.  Some have good parents but suffer mental illness.  A person who draws a conclusion about the parents from reading the story and watching the video shows both ignorance and bias.

Mom calls the daughter a bitch and says she's going to get her ass whooped. Mom says she's going to drag her daughters ass home. Mom calls her daughter a mother fucker. Daughter accuses the mother of stabbing the father. Mother says the father always has his hands on the daughter. Mom says the father had her in a headlock and that the blood was hers, not the fathers, while daughter says her mom is pregnant. Mom tells person in a car to 'suck her dick'.

I apologise for drawing a conclusion about the parents based off of that. I'm sure they're great parents most days. Just had a bad day is all. I apologise for my ignorance and bias. Forgive me?

Thanks for summing it up because I spent too much time in social work to sit through 17 minutes.  It's grinder and would be much easier if you could just hit people with pepper spray.  The exchanges you describe show evidence of a possibly dysfunctional family in crisis.  And yes, I forgive your ignorance and bias and respect your ability to admit fault.

So, how much does the girl weigh and what is her dietary intake?

[The Grand Nudger]

I bet that anyone who calls the cops on their nine year old is having a pretty unique day, yeah. None of that sounds like my average friday afternoon. I don't really know whether our parenting should be judged by our worst day - but that would be a job for dcf...and they might have handled things differently. So, let's just stick to things that might be relevant to cops?

Daughter accuses the mother of stabbing the father.
Mother says the father always has his hands on the daughter.
Mom says the father had her in a headlock and that the blood was hers, not the fathers, -

So, we show up and a plump nine year old is marching down the street pursuant to some altercation referred to above.

Do we

A, shoot the nearest passerby.
B, ram our patrol car into a telephone pole, drunk
or
c, mace the kid

Personally, I think that a would be more in character, b would be the most explicable, and c is just wondering whether we'd get away with it.
