The Ottawa police needs all the good PR it can get after letting insurrectionists occupy the Parliament’s grounds for a month…
oh no not the bouncy castles…
I think the 24/7 truck horns that I could hear from my home kilometers away were more of an issue, but maybe that’s just me…
Quite the leap from that to insurrection.
You take someone, force them to stay in an enclosed space and to listen to loud noise 24/7, what do you call it?
Hint: they do exactly that in Guantanamo
…
That’s right, torture, and if you don’t consider that torturing people is violent then you’re one sick fuck.
So, people using violent means to try and topple the government in place and replace it with the people they choose, what do you call that?
Let’s not forget emergency services that couldn’t reach the people living there… Denying people medical treatments… What do we call that? 🤔
Some people who were living downtown Ottawa at the time have PTSD from it.
“So, people using violent means to try and topple the government in place and replace it with the people they choose, what do you call that?”
I call that not what happened, just a little fantasy you created. They can’t even seem to get public mischief charges of the leaders to stick without wildly overwrought hysterical fish stories.
Dude, I just described a violent act but you live in a fantasy world where torture tactics don’t count if they’re perpetrated by a large enough number of people!
You attempted to conflate honking horns with torture, so…yeah not really much of an argument. I could describe living in the same world as people as stunned as you as torture, but it’s not really.
Its a tweet wi a bumper sticker that says “if a cop pulls me over they’re gay” and a picture of a police badge above a pride patch
ACABEGC?
Just like the spectrum of gender, there’s a spectrum of bad cops. They’re still bad, just some are ever so slightly less bad.
Like, if gender were a giant delicious jawbreaker, then cop badness is a small 1.5-inch piece of turd that accidentally rolled out from your pant leg in front of your crush but there’s a honey-roasted peanut in it.
I mean, yes ACAB, but I feel it is a bit unfair to say “some are ever so slightly less bad” when some of them are committing literal rapes and murders, and others are not. Yeah, they support the system and all that, and that is very much Bad TM, but that is still world’s away from actually snuffing someone’s life. Which I admit is kind of a low bar, but yeah…
The ε of bad
I imagine being a good cop requires a constant effort, as your environment tries to push you back into line with a broken system. Some try, many don’t.
