The police are militarized state violence. They enforce the will of the state through the use of violence. That’s not something that can be reformed because it’s inherent to policing. Any effective reform would lead to police not being police.

Still don’t understand how tf you bungle a situation like this so badly.

Step 1: Assume the person is intoxicated
Step 2: Do whatever you want because you’re a cop and you don’t consider drug users people/“something something fentanyl”

They say something like “Lower Decks was made by people who aren’t Trekkies”. TLD has so many bizarre obscure references to past Trek series that I have to assume it was written by the biggest Trek fans ever. Anyone who thinks it was written by non-fans has clearly never even given it a chance.

So the thing about qualified immunity is that unless there’s existing precedent that a cop can’t do this, then cops have immunity. Which is a cool catch 22 because you can’t have existing precedent if every cop who’s ever faced charges/lawsuits for a particular thing has gotten off because there wasn’t already a precedent. It’s an Ouroboros of letting cops do whatever they want.

This is beginning to change in some places, where police chiefs or their higher-ups want nothing to do with overtly shitty cops, but considering these cops have already finished their paid vacation suspension, I don’t think they’ll face any serious charges.

Thanks :)

I’d love to see a study done on the correlation between being a cop and killing animals. I bet there’s a definitive correlation there.

IA is not a sustainable project, and is built as a single point of failure. It has no transparency and no recovery plan if things go bad. Compare that to Anna’s Archive, a project that open sources all of their code and data so that things will continue running even if everyone involved disappears.

Ask yourself: if IA’s data was silently modified, would anyone be able to tell?

and the cheap sluts for violence that marry them.

60% of cops abuse their spouse. These aren’t “sluts for violence”, these are people who can’t leave because their spouse might kill them or at the very least sic other cops on them.

Can I introduce you to qualified immunity?

No, because psychopathy is not a real mental disorder and you won’t find it in the DSM. Either way, I’d be more upset at people killing animals than having an arbitrarily labeled mental illness.

Usually because people don’t start recording until there’s a reason, like police brutality.

Hang on, I’ve read this book before

Oh, I get it now! In my sleep deprived state I missed that two of them had the same size. That seems like a reasonable guess, I’m just paranoid about cookies :P

My point still stands. The size of data says nothing about its contents. If OP is concerned about this from a security or privacy perspective, you shouldn’t be writing them off because it’s only 100 bytes.

8 bytes is enough to store 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (18 quintillion) different values, more than enough space for a fingerprint ID. The size of the data shouldn’t factor into the potential threat.

They were protesting the universities themselves though. Kinda hard to do that if you’re not at the university.

If you’ll excuse me, I have to go try that.

People usually don’t decide to do things like that for shits and giggles, so let’s try and empathize with them and see if we can find some rational reasons for what they do.

Maybe they can’t afford the rent at an RV park. Maybe the rules there are so restrictive that the RV park is unusable to them. A lot of jurisdictions have restrictions on how long someone can rent space before they get legal protections or require additional insurance, so a lot of short-stay places like hotels and RV parks put a cap of a week or two for a stay.

Have you tried talking to these people? You can learn a lot about why people act the way they do by just asking them. Most people are rational enough that they have reasons for doing the things they do, and they’ll probably be happy to tell you if you’re friendly and treat them like people.

You know what would fix that?

Giving those people a safe and secure place to park their RV that isn’t the highway.

It sounds like you don’t actually want to discuss this and just want to have an argument tbh. You’re misrepresenting what I’ve said and it’s definitely not good faith.

I hope your capitalist community comes to help you when the cops don’t give your stolen things back.
