      People really have no idea the meaning their words convey.

      It’s not proof, it’s a sample size of 1 and I’d say it’s much more a display of delusion and hate than ‘cognitive damage’.

      You think you’re helping, but you aren’t.

        A lack of empathy can legitimately be viewed as “cognitive damage”. And this has by no means an isolated case. Not even remotely.

        and every other cop on that force will back this asshole to the blue.

        ACAB doesn’t mean that every cop is running around raping and extorting sex from everyone; or that they’re all running around killing black kids. ACAB does mean that the ones who are “good” are also protecting the ones who are bad rather than arresting them and treating their fellow cops as they would any one else.

        if you show me a cop who isn’t, I’ll show you a cop whose not been on the job long enough to find out.

            Nope. Cops know what they are pretty quick. It’s practically impossible to last more than a week or two without becoming a bastard.

            The blue wall is real, and they don’t allow people who might break rank stick around.

            Corruption in police is an everyday occurrence and you either chose to ignore it or not be a cop.

              Thanks for your response.

              Interesting you give that timeline because when I hear ACAB, a hypothetical officer comes to mind who joins a department on a Monday, blows the whistle on something corrupt and evil on Tuesday, and is forced to hand in their badge on Friday.

              I want to broadcast to my fellow Americans that if:

              • you are not corrupt, and
              • you will not stand for corruption, and
              • you want to try to be the change

              …I will not insult you for having a disparate strategy compared to mine or the average person’s on this site.

              Maybe 720,651 out of the 720,652 full-time cops in the US are baddies, but that last one who’s on probation because of some good in their heart - I choose my words carefully for them. They necessitate the three-letter acronym.

                That’s nice. They won’t give you the same consideration.

                By the way, the 1-2 weeks is more of a maximum, before they kill you in a “training accident” or “accidental friendly fire” because Officer Unicorn was “in the wrong place”

                  Yes, Officer Unicorn, sure! One can support the unicorn nature with data, so that’s a defensible phrase.

                  Officer Unicorn would give me the same consideration right? They’re one in a million in this hypothetical.

                  So, why PEB - because ACAB disrespects the good one[s*] killed “accidentally”. Maybe they were even gonna get jaded and become true class traitors one day but no need to go Minority Report on them.

                  *assumes at least two good officers since 1776

        It’s okay to let people be angry about things that should enrage everyone with a pulse. Their sentiment is 100% accurate even if their words aren’t perfectly precise.

    Sen. Whitney Westerfield, a Republican from Fruit Hill who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, was one of the bill’s more vocal opponents. When he learned of the citation against a woman in labor, he called it “deplorable.”

    A Republican showing compassion? Is that allowed?

      Definitely. Egregious lack of foresight they the police office didn’t write two tickets. One for her and one for the child she was carrying. Life begins at conception so that fetus is as guilty as she is.

        This Republican was a voice against it, however.

        There is a minority of Republicans that have actual republican values and are being drowned out, similarly to the socialists within the democratic party.

        Its rare to see one, they have to hide now, leaving the typical “Republican” as a far right soulless thing. But this might be an instance of it.

        It’s also important to note that state parties are different from the national party - as an example Vermont Republican Governor Scott is pro-choice and supportive of trans rights… a lot of state politicians aren’t there to grandstand and instead work to solve local problems. Now, that bullshit politicking has been making it’s way more often to the state level so that is changing but it’s usually good to read up on politicians at the state level.

          Vermont Republican Governor Scott is pro-choice and supportive of trans rights…

          That wasn’t particularly uncommon back in the 80s/90s when “Pro-Life” was more of a regional religion moniker than a partisan brand. We had Texas Republicans like Kay Bailey Hutchinson who were Pro-Choice and Delaware Democrats like Joseph Robinette Biden who were Pro-Life. Same with Log Cabin Republicans and DOMA-voting Democrats, straight through the Bush Jr administration.

          Scott’s a classic “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” Republican that used to be all over the New England area a generation ago. He loves tax cuts for his buddies in business and private charity schemes that let philanthropists hog the limelight without obligating them to spend more than they feel like and small-government rhetoric that plays well with liberal libertarians. He’ll sign bills that loosely mandate the purchase of private insurance and cap property taxes that fund local schools, but shies away from a truly public health care or higher education system.

          it’s usually good to read up on politicians at the state level.

          They’ve got different masters than their national counterparts. But you’ll find just as many deplorables at the state level.
