Bucks County DA launches investigation into Quakertown PD protest response

Great, nazis on the police force. Actively going out to harrass and assault citizen youth for exercising constitutional rights..

VIOLENTLY Assaulting Children is how we PROTECT the Children!

-Republicans!

He's leaking. Lol

So, you can't just ask the school what the kid's name is? You absolutely had to physically assault a child to issue the ticket then and there?

Old, balding dude who can't get up still lost.

they're definitely not here to protect children; only the rich.

The "conservative" self-selection in the police force has been going on since at least the civil rights act, probably longer/forever, but it's a real issue that I have no idea how to address. In Oregon during BLM protests, police were coordinating with Vancouver brown shirts AKA proud boys crossing state lines to hurt protesters.

We'd be in much better shape if non-Bs wanted to be Cs, but who would in this system?

no, i want another person resisting arrest, but [self-censored, due to instance/community rules]

so like an off-duty police officer assaults someone as a civilian and isn’t charged…. damn

Police need to learn to respect citizen's rights.

Those kids fought back more than any other protestors I've seen

Assaulted a child.

This is you

need to add with plenty of back in the wings to the title.

then you have not seen many.

Fuck off boot licker

First thing cops did was try to grab the girls first, both in the first seconds and then later when they escalated

Cops were the perfect height to get their shit stomped in

Time for another lawsuit. Of course that'll just result in a bigger police budget next year. It's horrifying how much the cops are willing to repeatedly do bad things, get sued, and pay the victims rather than just take steps to prevent abuse. They'd rather spend 10x (or more) more in lawsuit settlements than retain their people.

Resisting arrest shouldn't be an automatic shooting fuck wad.

Non-Bs?

Someone knows where the police chief lives. Just saying...

Tan shirt dude got rocked lol. Legit dazed at the end. I'm happy kids are standing up for themselves.

non-Bastards wanted to be Cops

Hopefully its you

From "ACAB"

US police force basically sprung into existence as a slave catching operation. It's built in

All cops are bastards because the role of a cop is to be a bastard. When you have a monopoly on violently enforcing the law as you interpret it in the moment, when you can't structurally be held accountable because society depends on your monopoly for security, you can't be anything else. Conservatives are drawn to the role because the role is the embodiment of conservatism; "that there are those who the law binds but does not protect, and those who the law protects but does not bind".

Oregon cops cooperating with proud boys is in their job description; to use their own judgment to determine when to cooperate with criminals to catch bigger criminals, like letting someone off the hook for shoplifting to catch a murderer. Whatever personal prejudices they have, they are unaccountable for and expected to act on.

Police abolition is the only answer. Deconstruct the role of police, taking the benefits that police are supposed to provide and spreading them out among multiple different roles. It already happened with medieval English sheriffs, it's time for another update.

maybe the kids will be alright

assaults a child unprovoked and then the first thing the actual police do is pull off the people defending the victims, not restrain the attacker

ACAB. All of them.

I'm having a lack of imagination. How do you see this working out?

Glad the chief got rocked, he needed more kicks to the head kids.

Disgusting

They sure taught those kids to respect the police.

Ignoring "police duty" notices like people do for jury duty now

There is a lot of literature on police abolition that I haven't read, so there is a lot I don't know. But basically, you reduce crime by reducing income inequality; by providing as many basic needs as you can to everyone; by fighting discrimination; by helping children escape abusive situations; by supporting people going through difficult times; by producing clean drugs and giving them away for free while offering addiction support; by punching nazis; by abolishing prisons and replacing them with house arrest, reintegration tracks, psychological support, restorative justice processes, etc.; by decriminalizing poverty; and more.

And then if someone is having a public psychological crisis you send a psychologist; and if people are having a conflict you send a mediator/de-escalation; and if there is a domestic dispute you send domestic violence experts with a hotel room available; and if people get into a fight you send a bouncer; and if someone got murdered you send detectives; and if someone is doing a mass shooting you send a tactical unit.

Rather than 911 only having firefighters, ambulances, and cops, it could have a large number of emergency services for a large variety of emergencies.

This wouldn't be perfect. Crime would still exist. But there would be less of it than now.
