Consider this a warning: We can speak about the horrors of this case without leaning into misogyny and attacking this woman for how she looks. Comments attacking anyone for how they look will be subject to removal.

Maybe there should be a location for this? Just to blow off steam and know it's not serious or is more so an emotional outburst.

A location for bashing how a woman looks? You're on the internet. It's fucking everywhere here.

And nothing will change until enough people get together to change it. We all have three votes, our political vote, our financial vote (how we choose to spend our money), and finally a vote with our life in protest / revolution. Every government today exists because people voted with their life, they fought often mortally to create that government. It's the duty of civilians to vote for the country and government they want.

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

See sibling comment, but the idea is that attacking someone's appearance (including genetic/unchangeable things) is super common in public discourse in e.g.the US and A.

Okay? Something being “super common” doesn’t mean shit. We don’t want it here.

Not specifically for that. More generally for emotional outbursts.

Edit: it's sad to see people just down voting instead of actually having a discussion. Maybe a tad cowardly in my book, at least reductive behavior.

You replied directly to my warning about bashing someone for how they look. Consider context.

There's !offmychest@lemmy.world and a variety of others that are similar.

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!"

This was always my train of thought. Why not just get the license plate and let the suspect think they got away, then just catch them at home later. American cops are just trigger happy assholes.

We can deviate a little from the conversation as other comments here have and others across Lemmy typically do without question.

I have many comments here, you could've replied directly to them instead. Of course I'm going to think that you're looking for a place to bash women if you reply directly to that comment asking.

You're more than welcome to continue to ignore context throughout the Fediverse, I don't really care what you do.

I didn't take the time to read all of your comments, I apologize for that. It's still an open question of if there should be a location for emotional outbursts, not specific to what you're saying or what you're saying I'm saying. Of course people will have emotional outbursts and it's a real aspect of the human condition so it may be useful to have a location for that.

That's why I suggested !offmychest@lemmy.world or somewhere similar.

What're you doing here? Why are you talking about emotional outbursts on this post?

I didn't say the mod warning was the emotional outburst. It's very appropriate for the location and circumstance here. I believe we may have a misunderstanding.

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.

If they really wanted to “set things right” they could have had their police department pay for the diapers, but I won’t hold my breath

What really gets me is that tracking down vehicles is like the purpose of Flock and other ALPRs and dead people usually can’t hit the brakes. So even having had a chance to see the license plate personally and living in a world where helicopters and magnetic AirTag like devices exist if you don’t have access to Flock or some other ability to simply follow the fucking car for whatever reason the...

Minor quibble. The vast majority of police in the USA are issued pistols (Glocks) without manual safeties. So that wouldn’t slow them down!

Yeah, but diapers kinda sounds like diamonds and minor kinda sounds like miner and diamonds are mined by miners who sometimes unionise but not like police unions which are good but workers unions which are like socialism which is like communism which is bad and anti-American and why do you hate America what do you want the terrorists to win?

You can steal plates or simply not have plates. What then? The problem is cops treat everyone as if they are extremely dangerous individual, without any evidence to the contary. I wouldnt even put it pass these idiots from shooting the infant even if the mother did comply. They are that damn paranoid.

Slurs aren't discourse.

DISCOURSE is verbal interchange of ideas; especially : conversation.

They can run the plates and check if they match the car or if the car itself is listed stolen in literal seconds...

American cops choose violence.

He was...crawling right at them? Might have overpowered them? And of course it happened at a walmart.

What would have happened if the lady got away with a pack of stolen diapers? Worth firing guns over I guess?

So, she stole diapers, didn't have a weapon, I can't imagine she was driving while holding up a child, and posed some sort of imminent threat? Where is the immediate threat to life and limb?

the cops will lie to create one, they always do. Hopefully it was being recorded-- its the only way to have a chnace of justice when cops are present.

Yeah it is the entire point. It's an extra charge they can guarantee if they don't comply.
