Petey4335: FLMountainMan: Sounds like I know which brewery to burglarize in Seattle.

So what you are saying is the police have discriminatory practices? And you are ok with this?


The joke was intended either way you want it.  You can clutch your pearls and admire my brave statement that the fascist corrupt cops would intentionally let this place burn to the ground, or you can smugly cheer at the idea that cops wouldn't bother to do their damn hob and let the owner get what he deserves.  I don't care either way.  Your opinion isn't going to change.

Now, if I were to say that I know the brewery to walk into while open carrying, order a pint of ACAB beer and piss all over the place as I did it, you might infer that I'm making a statement that police are a necessary evil and that you'd be better off trying to make realistic changes (like making them easier to fire (i.e., abolish police unions), paying them more to attract better candidates, and focus on recruiting more minorities) than demonizing and defunding them so that the quality of officer deteriorates.

Getting rid of all police is stupid and unrealistic and usually said by people who never have a need for their services.

fragMasterFlash: I tend to give a hallpass to the older seemingly mellow cops but I can't stand the skinhead ex-mil cops with Punisher tats and an agressive "come at me, bro" attitude in every situation. I suppose I should quit giving the former a pass since they seem perfectly fine with the latter.


t = (1/n [h]) * 1/s

t = trustworthiness of the cop
n = diameter of their neck
h = length of their hair
s = number of skull decals/tats/patches

Hard to calculate while pulling over AND emptying your beer out the window, but it's a sound forumla.

I had heard it is as "All Cops are Bad", but either way, the message is true.

As has been said many times before: There are good cops and bad cops, the problem is that bad cops look like good cops until its too late.  So, you must assume they are all bad until they prove otherwise.

No it's not. When cops retaliate against cops that call out the injustices committed by other cops such that the whistleblower is either forced to quit or become complicit in the injustices it means All Cops Are Bad. Systemic racism is endemic to the police culture whether they want to admit to it or not, and needs to end.

Refer to the old adage 'one bad apple spoils the bunch'.

No, it really isn't. American style police forces are part of a fascist organization. Police are not only allowed but encouraged and trained to lie as an example. Even if in your private life you're a decent person when you put that uniform on and follow the rules of the organization you become someone who deprives people of life and liberty without repercussions. So yes, All Cops Are Bad.

Gunner's Mate First Class Phillip Asshole: FLMountainMan: And attacking them on Fark isn't going to get us to your cop-free nirvana either?

Nobody, I repeat nobody wants cop-free America.  We need to root out all the shiatstains and start fresh.


You can't just have a Purge night/week/month/year until we get the police force composed of 100% right-thinking people.  So again, what's the actual policy solution?

There are bad cops because:
1. Bad cops are hard to fire because of the terms of their employment.
2. Bad cops are also hard to fire because of the reluctance of their peers to inform on them because they work in a dangerous job where your peers literally have your life in their hands.

Doing anything without addressing the terms of the employment will just give you a bunch of rookie cops who can't be disciplined.
Continue to demonizing them will just make problem two worse by reinforcing the us vs. them mindset.

Witnessing an assault, rape, burglary, hit and run accident, serious road rage, etc.

All cops don't have to be bastards. It just happens that they currently are.

It's no great stretch to imagine current systems being replaced in function and employing people that aren't bastards.

No, but it was probably a hate crime.

If there's any evidence of that, I'm sure it will be prosecuted as such.

But so what? People commit all kinds of hate crimes all the time and it usually makes some kind of news.

Are you upset that there aren't massive protests against that guy? They got him. He'll probably go to prison for a long time.

Nobody was even sure that George Floyd's murderers would even be arrested after they were recorded in the act. Lots of people still think they should go free, because they think cops should literally get away with anything.

I'm with you on that...they should not be let free.


So what point was the image supposed to make? There's no equivalency whatsoever. All it looks like is "Hey people got all upset about this black guy, but not this white kid. Reverse racism!!!1".

You sound like an overly bitter craft brewer.

Even non-IPAs are over hopped in most cases.

As for garlic, I'm sorry your taste buds are so dysfunctional as to require you to overpower food with garlic.

Over using hops and garlic ranks up there with putting ranch on everything. It's just grotesque and proof of the idea that just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Even if all cops are not actively oppressing people, I don't see marches or demonstrations by the "good" cops, I don't see them publicly pushing to prosecute wrongdoing by bad officers, I don't see an outburst of them reporting their abusive peers.  I see their union -- which represents all of them -- supporting Trump and actively protecting murdering and abusing cops.

Silence is complicity.  Evil wins when good people do nothing.  In fact when the wrongdoing is so blatant, and so visible, and they make the active choice to do nothing, then I wouldn't even call them "good people".  It is more like depraved indifference, which is a crime.

They never recovered my belongings, they didn't arrest the people who stole from me, they didn't put my rapist in jail, they mocked me and treated me poorly while I was begging to be taken to the hospital after being raped, they gave me a ticket when my car was stolen and left in the street by the idiot thief who couldn't drive a stick, and they assaulted me the time I ran to them after being assaulted.

Because it's more or less considered universally that the police need to stop carrying the burden of anything other than keeping the peace and critical public safety needs.  Yet they're stuck dealing with shiat like homelessness and welfare issues that would be best handled by damn near anyone else routinely.

So, cut a decent amount of that funding so they only have the money to focus on their core mission and use that monetary difference to fund HUD, family services, SNAP, etc...

Damn I don't drink beer but I may have to find some to support this kind of stand.

I can see the conservatives losing their shiat already...

"THE OFFICIAL BEER OF ANTIFA!"

Hopefully they have insurance on their property, and can protect themselves as well. Conservative snowflakes don't like it when people stand up.

By "stand up" do you mean assault, battery, vandalism, and looting?

You mean those beers are guilty of assault, battery, vandalism, and looting? Wow. That couple has some mad skillz.

You said "when people stand up".

There are beers that have kicked my ass, but I didn't feel it until the next morning.


I know conservatives hate to admit it, but the those opposing them are people as well. Just because you don't like the couple's stand on the beer they make doesn't mean you get to marginalize them as not being people.

1) I'm not marginalizing anyone.

2) My local beer shop continues to sell their beer, and I'm still going to remain a customer.  I just won't buy that brand.

/Had their beers in the past.
//And even before this happened, I preferred other brands.

Yes, the cops are engaging in all of those activities.

And what about the other side?  They were doing all those things in Seattle....attacking businesses that my had NOTHING to do with George Floyd.


Childish whataboutism notwithstanding, maybe you can let me know where those people are our paid employees charged with being peace officers of the law?

No argument would suffice for you, it doesn't taste like cop boot enough to satisfy you. Also your friend in the PD is just as bad as any of them.

Wow...judging a person without even knowing a single thing about him.  How ignorant.


Must have missed the report where the one hero cop in the Seattle PD was opposing the brutality, harassment, and violence perpetrated by their colleagues, denouncing the systemic racism, and calling for those officers to be removed and prosecuted. Loudly, publicly and transparently. Refusing to engage in unconstitutional activities and protecting any peaceful protestors with their voice and body.

I'll wait.

Not only is this meme clearly racist (not shocked from the likes of you), but it also ignores the fact that police should be under a stronger obligation to protect people, with accountability,  than violent insane criminals who have not been called to do that job.

But regardless, why don't you put Tamir Rice in your racist meme?


It's not racist, but it says a lot about the media.

Was that shooter an agent of the state, given qualified immunity, and immediately defended by... anyone?

Did people immediately start digging into the child's past to figure out why he probably deserved to get shot?


No, but it was probably a hate crime.

Yes, all cops are bad. Or biatches. Or bastards. Or racist scrotum-walkers. Whatever. They all suck because they all allow their blue line bullshiat to keep the evil rampant.

There are no good cops. Not in this country.


The ones that didn't shoot me, or take me to jail are ok.

It only says a lot about the racists that share it as if it's some "gotcha"

You must understand, racists are not intelligent people.

Agreed.  And thankfully, I'm not racist.

Yeah. You are.


Mention one racist thing I posted in this thread.  And a pic that points out media hypocrisy doesn't count.

CheekyMonkey: whidbey: CheekyMonkey: To be fair, "defund the police" is a dumb slogan.

Low-information persons will always build a strawman based on the most simplistic meaning of the words.

I love this suggestion that we should always dumb everything down so the dumbassess won't get mad.

Like people whose minds are already made up are going to get a clue somehow.

And yet, you're complaining about someone not understanding "the real meaning" of "defund the police".

/KISS is an excellent guiding principle


"Defund the police" is simple.

You want us to kiss right wing ass and dumb everything down in the hope that they might respond in good faith argument.

Friendly reminder that worrying about Nazis getting "censored" and condemning the exclusion of fascists from spaces as "fascist censorship" is called "sympathizing with Nazis" and is rightfully frowned upon in most communities.

WTP 2: ARE COPS ALL BAD ?

NO, THE ANSWER IS NO.


They are when they join together to defend when their colleagues commit heinous crimes.
They are when they cover / ignore their colleagues committing heinous crimes.
They are when they're represented by a union that will defend the most disgusting actions of its members.
They are when leadership fires officers from daring to cross "the blue line" to speak out against officers acting inappropriately

Peter Weyland: I had heard it is as "All Cops are Bad", but either way, the message is true.

As has been said many times before: There are good cops and bad cops, the problem is that bad cops look like good cops until its too late.  So, you must assume they are all bad until they prove otherwise.


So guilty until proven innocent is preferable? Do you also feel the same way about our criminal justice system?

Are you being this dense on purpose?

[The brewer] might want to be informed that ACAB has roots in the white skinheads crowd.

So all skinheads are white nationalists?  Didn't you just give somebody shiat about "guilty until proven innocent?"
