Are you smoking crack? Just when I think people can’t get any more liberal than Reddit…I’m introduced to Lemmy…
No, we just need MORE cops, at least where I live…thanks to liberals and their “defund” movement…
Yeah, it’s definitely the fault of the people who are pushing for reform, and civilian oversight.
Staffing shortages couldn’t possibly be because there are tons of cops who didn’t want a bright light shined on their horrible, abusive behavior that they have been allowed to get away with, completely unchecked, since time immemorial…
What we need is to de-fang the police unions, force them into the same collective bargaining pools as the rest of the employees in their municipalities, like all the other EMS workers, and then make them accountable to the civilians they are policing so we find police who actually give a fuck about bettering their communities.
Like BLM? They turned out to be scam. I think most African Americans would agree that MORE police presence in their neighborhoods is needed, not less…just ask Oakland.
You really like collecting downvotes. You are very good at sharing bad opinions.
“You are very good at sharing opinions.” FIFY
It’s 2024. I can’t believe trumpers still don’t understand what that was all about.
I know what it was about…it was all talk, just like the BLM thing…nothing but people complaining about how horrible cops are because of a couple idiots…but please, by all means, keep telling everyone how they DON’T need to be funding the police that much…
Hilarious. This place needs some trolls to shake shit up.
Non-Liberal/democrat= Troll
I guess that’s the way around here…just like Reddit.
Clearly we do. But the children here will never understand that.
Could you be misunderstanding the purpose of the police? Hint: they’re not meant to protect the public
Last I checked, one of their core functions is to prevent trespassing and vandalism.
So, what do the Universities do? Just let them stay there as long as they want?
I mean, Lemmy lets you stay even though you are annoying as fuck, and nobody brutalizes you for sharing your viewpoints (psychotic as they may be). Perhaps you could put that shoe on the other foot if you could first pull it out of your mouth.
Is this a joke? I’m probably the ONLY person on this entire site that leans Right, and I’ve been called every name in the book for my opinions because they don’t align with the Left…
As long as they’re peaceful, then pretty much, yes. A state university where the land is publicly owned (government “owned” property), it sounds like they were exercising their rights to assemble, speak, and petition the government…
But they weren’t peaceful, that’s the issue. The whole reason the university went in was because the protestors were putting other students at risk, more specifically, Jewish students.
Yes. Property is not as important as life.
But not other students lives right? I mean, the whole reason Colombia did what they did was because other students were afraid. More specifically, Jewish students. But, they don’t matter, right?
Hi, just dropping by reading the comments. I believe Jewish students were a part of the protesters so you can’t really go that route without adding a conditional on which Jewish students were in danger.
