A woman in Florida says her 55-year-old “medically fragile” father was falsely accused of theft at a Florida grocery store last week and then seriously injured in a violent encounter with police. Now, she says, he is hospitalized and has lost the ability to speak.
We don’t have police. Just corporate enforcers. Pinkertons in different uniforms. Oh, you are accused of a 17 cent theft and didn’t do it? Eat lead I guess. I’m just so tired.
If you get your house broken into, or your car stolen the police can’t even be bothered to pretend to care. They treat your theft like an inconvenience to them and will tell you there’s nothing they can do.
But if you’re a corporation, they’ll rush right over and cripple a shoplifter for stealing a banana.
Hey now, they also specialize in oppressing minorities.
No, they specialize in protecting minorities. Minority. You know which one.
Bananas are $10
Lucille, is that you?
All this for a misdemeanor.
Don’t worry, we still have Pinkertons as well.
There seems to be a lot of gaps in that timeline in the 1800s, wonder what they were doing then 🤔
SCOTUS: processing, processing, processing……
Complete! If you don’t like it then just vote in a different police chief or mayor!
You can do this?
Some police chiefs are elected yes.
Wow. Who can run for police chief?
For elected positions technically anybody.
Practically it’s a police officer endorsed by the previous chief and/or police union.
Blame boomers and genX. Black/brown ppl have been preaching about police brutality for decades. The only reason they weren’t beating the shit out of white ppl then was they where middle class. Now that everyone is either rich or poor they’re coming for the rest of you.
It took cellphone footage for ppl to start believing and by then it was too late to do anything
They’re the same thing.
They really shouldn’t be. The US is seriously fucked up.
They always will be because people are inherently evil and domineering, and quite simply can’t be trusted with that kind of power.
Just how they want us. I feel you, but fuck the corporate garbage world those motherfuckers are trying to build.
Time to tear shit down and fix it. The world doesn’t have to be like this. We just need to tell the corporations to fuck off and regulate them again.
