If you see someone stealing food… No you didn’t
Stealing food doesn’t mean you’re immoral, it means society is immoral.
No. It means your stealing food. Some people just like to fucking steal.
Excluding mental disorders. I do not think anybody likes to steal, atleast not initially. They may have normalized it, even to the point where it may become second nature, or a habit. If there is a lot of such peope, society have failed them a long time ago.
I do not think anybody likes to steal
The rich. It’s their entire lifestyle.
If they’re stealing it to eat, sure.
If they’re stealing it so they can sell warm coat meat down the local flat roof pub and spend the proceeds on heroin, then… you probably also want to pretend you didn’t see it because you’re not paid enough to be stabbed by a junkie with a used syringe.
Imagine driving around, probably with a punisher logo somewhere on your uniform or gear, and then posting your big bust of… store brand groceries
It’s their phone wallpaper if you can’t see it anywhere else
Lol, my buddy, who is not a cop but interacts with them fairly regularly for his job, has the punisher logo on his watchface.
He’s a good guy but I regularly tease him for it, and some of his viewpoints.
Wasn’t the Punisher’s whole MO shitkicking corupt cops?
No, that was his MO with cops. He shitkicked anyone who was a threat to civilians.
I care less WHY they stole the food. I just find it distasteful when the cops post these “look how bad ass we are” social media posts. Crime, no matter why it was committed, should not be used as someones time to celebrate or the special time before the trial to convince the public that the suspect is guilty via Facebook,etc. Least of all by the group of people who do the arresting.
It’s because the police view themselves as a “team” that is basically ‘playing’ against the other team…everyone else. To them, this is a win and shows how good they are. It’s quite disturbing how indoctrinated they are and almost nobody realizes it.
They deleted the Tweet and released a halfhearted apology.
As is tradition
Now he just sits back and waits on his promotion. Nailed the asshole part of the evaluation
Having to steal food is super tiresome. Would rather not have to, but I’ve never felt bad about doing it. Imagine that. The normalization of the degradation is my issue personally. Putting people on one side of a moral line based on bullshit economic factors that for the one stealing are a kin to the winds of fate.
“A female” seems kinda dehumanizing, like talking about an animal or words spoken by an incel.
That caught my eye too, but I think it might be a reflection of how law enforcement speaks “a female suspect” “a male detainee” etc.
Por que no los dos?
An incel pig running their Twitter hardly seems a stretch.
I get that they say “a female” because that’s how they “identify” people via police reports and such. But I still cringe so bad when I hear someone say “a female”.
Female what? Deer? Shark? Dog?
That’s part of it, but police jargon is meant to dehumanize suspects. They could just as easily say man or woman but those words imply person-hood. While animals can be male or female they can’t be a man or woman. Male-Black-46 works just as well to describe an animal in a study as a human on the street.
The words “man” and “woman” imply that the person is an adult, which is an unnecessary added connotation.

Police are useless

I’ve removed your comment for breaking rule 1: be civil; no name calling or insults, and no swearing to insult someone. Putting “kindly” before “fuck off” doesn’t negate the insult. You also broke rule 2: discussion is ok, arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake. The person you replied to wasn’t being aggressive, calling their opinion a “dipshit take” is unwarranted. Please read the rules in the sidebar before you participate in this community again. If you break the rules again, you will be banned. Thank you.
Satire can’t even keep up with these bastards.

Thank you for adding this. I’ll see if I can sticky it to the top for anyone who needs to see it.
I like how they turned away the lube like no one would notice
The food i understand but not the rest. Food has become so damn expensive these days.
There are other necessities than food that people can’t afford.

Bullshit. Shoplifting accounts for less shrinkage than expiring products. We throw away more food than is stolen. Let that sink in. More food goes to a landfill than to shoplifters.
Removed by mod
It’s not whataboutism. You said shoplifters drive up prices. That is objectively false, as demonstrated by the disparity between what is lost to shrinkage (less than 2%, and that includes all shrinkage, not just shoplifting) and food waste, roughly 30-40% of all food in the USA.
Your anger is misplaced, and you are actively making society worse.

They literally did the math for you. If there is even a price hike based on this, you’re basically getting mad about 1 cent of a 40 cent price hike.
Looks like the corporate propaganda really works well on some people. A large part of the reason for recent price increases is due to corporate profiteering. But sure, blame the people who are stealing a bit of food to survive.

As I’ve commented elsewhere, you’re breaking the rules of this community by being overly aggressive and argumentative. Discussion is fine, arguments are not. I’ve deleted all your offending comments. Please read the rules in the sidebar before participating in future. You will be banned if you break the rules again.

It’s exactly the same… I just cut off identifying info in line with lemmy’s rules.
The original screenshot did not include the reply’s likes at the bottom, which is kind of an important detail when the title is explicitly pointing out the ratioing.
I see your point. But the title was taken from the top line of the screenshot. The fact that the reply got 400 more likes than the original doesn’t add anything to the murder… if anything the reply only getting 400 more likes detracts from it. But, I’ll update the post to include that info and delete the post from the user above you as it’s breaks the rules.
Eh, I agree somewhat. My understanding is that the point of ratioing is to demonstrate the weight of public opinion behind the response.
Full disclosure, I’ve only just noticed this is in a /murderedbywords, so that means the focus is on the insult and not the reception so it’s probably fine, lol

This was nothing. I’ve had more abuse in the two months I’ve been a mod than I have in my entire life! But thank you for the support, I appreciate it!
:(
Quit being a Mod then ?I don’t even see why we need mods TBH …
We’re all here to discuss / talk / debate / argue ETC/Socialize
Everyone be different…
Maybe if a person got blocked like 50 times the system should auto ban them or something…
Otherwise I don’t see why people aren’t allowed to be themselves, especially on the ethernet
I don’t even see why we need mods TBH …
Then you are a fool
Without mods the trolls, bigots, and people just looking to argue and stir up shit completely ruin the community for the users looking to socialise/discuss etc. That nearly happened on this post with one user being so insulting, aggressive and argumentative I had to ban them. They made about 10 comments that broke the rules in under an hour and were borderline inciting violence against poor people. No one wants to socialise in an environment like that.
Also by creating a community here, I’m bound by feddit.uk’s rules and Lemmy’s code of conduct. If I don’t moderate, this whole community will be banned. I enjoyed the Reddit sub, I want to enjoy the community here too. If the only way I can do that is to enforce pretty basic rules, then so be it. I just wish people would stop calling me a power hungry narcissist plus a whole dictionary full of insults when I don’t deserve them.
Fuck all the grocery stores. They’re stealing from US
