Jfc. Fucking cops got their feewings hurt by a reving engine.
ACA(weak-assed)B
ACAB, but also, fuck people who rev their engines.
Also fuck people who do 90 in-city, run reds, or weave through traffic.
It might have been the noise nuisance at 1am that started this, but it was the dangerous driving that led to the arrest.
I've no love for the police as an institution, but surely someone being obnoxiously loud when people are trying to sleep and then endangering others with their driving is not a hero either
If the police aren't to be responsible to remove dangerous drivers from the road who should be? Everyone is quick is call all cops bad but no one really has a solution to replace them.
Thats flat out wrong.
They don’t want to replace them entirely. But just maybe move funding to services to help those having mental health issues rather than paying to train cops to shoot the first time they’re scared then send them in to deal either erratic people having mental health issues will lead to better outcomes for everyone.
When cities can’t afford services to help people, because policing is taking up a massive portion of their budget, then it’s a broken system that needs correction.
That's the "defund the police" people, who are typically very differently from the "ACAB" people.
Yeah, sounds like a real upstanding citizen.
Probably more downpuking...
You may boo me now.
Nope. Behaviour like this is inherently anti-social. I'm personally for creating a stronger community and this works against that.
