Dude…

If they don't escalate the scene to 999 right away, how can they justify shooting of innocents? Your logic is getting in the way of their fun! /s

Her appearance is relevant

No. It's not. Everyone adjusts their appearance to some degree to fit in with their chosen group.

If you can't make a coherent argument against someone's behavior, or politics or beliefs, you fall back to their appearance.

It's why bigots will attack transgender people for not "passing" or attack Muslims for wearing a hijab, or misogynists attack women for having died hair, or too many piercings or why racists will attack the way other people dress.

It's easy. It's lazy. It's just "othering" people in the dumbest way possible.

She's done PLENTY to criticize, no matter what she looks like.

Yes because that's an ACTUAL hate symbol. It's not equivalent, and it most certainly is not the same thing here.

The police involved should be treated as murderers.

They don't even need to, they know who she is they can just charge her bank account directly with zero violence, zero public officer duty labor hours, zero weapon discharge bullets costs.

When is the inbred, Fitch, going for her MAGA plastic surgery? The Mississippi Oblast continues to be a Top 10 Dump in the United Oblasts of AmeriKa.

Better not watch Jimmy Kimmel or any political comedy then!

Oh yeah, critizing her behaviour is clearly more important and (i hope) more productive.

But it's still worth mentioning that of course she has mar-a-lago face.

Does this look like a comedic post to you?

That baby had it coming, nobody is talking how he was already reaching for his gun!!!

They do if you have a 6,000 sq/ft home.

I'm saying it's super mainstream to denigrate or make fun of the appearances of people as part of criticizing their actions or politics.

Personally I find it immoral and stupid. Saying e.g. "Trump is fat" as a way of showing your disapproval won't hurt him and will just make things worse for others, but it's so common that I usually don't even bother making a fuss.

I respect your position and good luck maintaining it.

Sadly, it happens in every state now. This shit just doesn't make the news unless it happens to a young, wealthy white woman.

Nah, he got a paid "suspension" and used the time to make more money as "security" at the night club, where he either beat or murdered more people of color.

unless it happens to a young, wealthy white woman.

We're literally on a post about it happening to a black family.

Yes. That's my point. This shit happens everywhere everyday in the US. The only notable thing is you heard about it this time. It should be national news.

Nor her appearance, nor her party membership, nor even if she was the one worse human would justify that police kills her 1 year old kid.

This story has been national news.

You have a point, but this isn't the story to make said point.

No it's not! That's my whole point! Her appearance is beyond irrelevant! Focus on what matters!

Beyond words horrible

When you have a hammer and a ducktape, have been trained to only use a hammer, taught that everything is a nail, all you can do is hammer nails.

The tape is just there. Hammer is all that's ever used

legally punishiable by the death of your child but

Ftfy it's worse than what you said

When it's convenient to do so, they equate the vehicle to a giant gun the driver is pointing at them. That way they don't need to think at all and can pull trigger until scary thing stops.

every time i see one of those headlines i wonder which one is going to be the one that light the spark?

if there were any evidence that supported the cops' story, they would have released it.

the fact that none of the footage from WALMART or any dash or body cam footage has been released tells you everything you need to know.

I love this. Thank you.

How about the murderers for what they were wearing?

horrific and super sad :(

Jesus fuck, all over a pack of diapers from, I assume, a company worth a hundred billion dollars.

Can I still point out that RFK Jr looks like a water damaged catcher's mitt?

I dunno, that’s kind of offensive to catcher’s mitts.

Standard Killilogy.

Like when they slowly strangled George Floyd to death over a $20 bill. It's never about the alleged crime. They'll keep murdering people and getting away with it until they don't.

Not to disagree with your central point, but shooting out tires is extremely impractical in real life. It still won't stop the vehicle, and you'll almost certainly miss.

They refuse to be tried as individuals. They stand together.

"I'm hit!" Bang bang bang...

American cops will never understand that they can just take a license plate and go knock on the door later, no, "I said stop and they are not stopping! The punishment for disobedience is death!"

Most of those making fun of the way Trump looks (at least in my experience) tend to be focusing more on his bad spray tan, and that's more criticising his poor judgement of voluntarily going out looking like that.

One bad apple spoiled the bunch.

I feel... Loss.

There's a stream-like, icy-blue fog, protruding from a hole in the side of a mountain, waiting.

Yeah, please don't go shooting a gun in public. This isn't the movies. Just write down the license plate number and then go to their house. Simple.

Actually in this case, it was for stealing diapers. So just look the other way, go to lunch and call it a day.

For shoplifting diapers? I can't even...

I’m literally on lemmy and not doing that so what the fuck are you talking about?

Slurs fucking suuuck!

It’s because the cop wanted to shoot a black person.

How about you go make “positive” notes somewhere else dick.
