Failed State.

Thread theme: https://soundcloud.com/pouya-kevin/1000rounds

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 1: Cop]

Toss another shell on the ground, I don't need a reason, chief –

Just a twitch, a cough, a sneeze, and I'm squeezin'

Watch you drop like a busted pipe

I'm the jumpy type, soon as I hear a noise at night

I can't talk, just dump the mag

Into the dark – better safe than sorry, that's my flag

I'm a fiend for the trigger, ain't no safety

Count every round, reincarnate Dirty Harry

Fuck the de-escalation, I'm on high alert

I meditate on cover, you're so fake – you got hurt

I'll put two in your chest just for reaching for your face

The badge protects, clear the scene while I seal the case

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 2: Cop]

So many civilians around me, yet I feel so alone

I'm a war vet walkin', sirens singin' my tone

You want that reckless fire? Go watch the bodycam to it

City's finest, you'll find us inside that cruiser, ready to do it

People right in front of my face –

But they really might lunge or reach for their back

I been on go for a minute –

Yeah, they really might move me off of my track

Yeah, I got a partner, but I still got a thousand rounds in my pack

Trigger-happy hero, a hundred clips flexin' –

But still jump at a crack

[Chorus: Cop] Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

This is so scary to me.

For example, their excuse here is that the suspect repeatedly didn’t get out of the vehicle when commanded to. So the pig excuse is “if they had followed our instructions they wouldn’t have gotten shot”.

Well take me for example, I’m functionally deaf. I would hear nothing of their instructions. Does that mean I deserve to be shot up because these cops are scared?

Genuinely I mean this is the anarchism sub we’re all convinced the system is fucked. But the degree of fucked is so much more than any one person can comprehend.

And some people say storm trooper accuracy is unrealistic.

Hey there! What's it like in new york city?

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This moment, where two cops are running away and just firing behind them without looking. They could have easily just blasted a colleague in the face as they ran, nevermind the obvious danger to any general public that happed to be over there.

Holy shit LMAO

Cops shooting is like my pair of dogs. One thinks they mighta heard something, better give a bark about it! Ya know just in case, might be scary!

Other one (having exactly zero idea of any reason for first bark) says "oh shit something is going down, I'ma baaaaark!"

Original dog goes "oh shit oh shit I knew something was up, best friend is going bananas about something too, I better fucking BAAAARK"

Dumbass packs of stray cops do exactly that (with guns) all the time, it's obviously core training. Shooting backwards while falling and running from nothing (possibly a vacuum, to be charitable to dogs) would make even my dogs embarrassed tho, yeeeesh.

(Btw they call us "civilians", not "the general public", and according to them, those of us that aren't probably-secretly bad-guys, are unfortunate future statistics that sometimes pay the ultimate sacrifice while they do their big-boy duty 🤮)

This reminds me of all those trucks LAPD turned into Swiss cheese during their hunt for Dorner. Hundreds of bullets into these pickup trucks and didn’t hit the passengers, who occupy most of the volume of the cab.

These guys are just undertrained, panicked cowards. The scariest part is that all of those rounds went… somewhere… down range. Such a huge danger to the public as a whole.

And according to the description of the video, the guy was still charged for "unauthorized use of a motor vehicle"...??? WTF. Let the dude go free, he was almost forcibly given a life sentence.

Sorry for the tangent, but does anybody else get this error posting to enshittification?

[–] lyrial@anarchist.nexus 1 points 1 day ago

You typically want to have no language set for Lemmy iirc.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol that thumbnail/splash screen.

[–] EpeeGnome@feddit.online 4 points 1 day ago

I did not expect that over the top thumbnail to be an actual frame from the bodycam footage, but it actually was. What a clown-show.
