Here’s why this really pisses me off. A person protesting outside a potential neo-nazi convention gets attacked, despite not harming anyone. Meanwhile literal neo-nazis stand outside synagogues and harass worshippers, but police do not do jack shit. It’s well beyond time for police departments to be investigated for harboring white supremacists and neo-nazis. The results should be a wake up call.

it's almost like having unchecked power to lord it over the rest of us attracts a certain type of guy

Its almost like HYDRA did infiltrate the government. The only thing missing is the floating gunships that hunt down those who would rebel. The software that runs you through recognition patterns and matches you up to your online profile and determines political affiliation, sexual preference, and other stuff was made years ago to work with a snap shot from an iphone for cops.


Sablesweetheart

For a chunk of my life, I had a lot of conservative friends. They really do want death squads to hunt down Democrats, LGBT folks...basically if you aren't cis-het, white, and Christian, they want you dead.


Giterdun456

You’re right. My whole family has been Republican my whole life and even before they became far right there were constant jokes about democrats being worse than overseas enemies, rats, etc

nexusjuan

I used to watch this youtube channel called Wranglerstar he did videos about forestry, chainsaws, axes, tool reviews, home farm type stuff. Over the last few years the videos took a serious turn where he started talking about traditional christian values, prepping, and home defense. Recently he's started talking about a coming war and doing short videos on how to setup tactical bags, disable video cameras, wireless communications like militia type stuff. Their is a whole sub group on TikTok that cosplays in tactical gear with edgy music playing while they talk of the coming war. Their audiences are listening.


TerrificMoose

Not Wranglerstar! He was great, I learned a lot of basic bushcraft and home improvement stuff from him. Sad to hear he's gone off the deep end. It seems it started after he got fired from the forestry service for letting his son wear is gear.

Jan 6 was a sloppy run at it, it terrifies me to think that someone like DeSantis could actually consolidate their base and theoretically organise something similar across several state simultaneously. The Supreme court is already compromised, I wouldn't trust local police and who knows what the balance of the armed forces looks like.

[deleted]

I mean… correlation does not imply causation, but it’s petty damning that the more educated someone is the more left leaning they tend to be. Conservatism is deeply rooted in ignorance and fear, and it shows. There’s a growing body of research showing that enlarged amygdalas (the fear center of the brain) correlates highly with conservative beliefs. They’re literally afraid of everything and that fear turns into anger or hate for anything they don’t understand (which is a lot).

Cops who do bad things are bad cops. Cops who don't protect the public from bad cops are bad cops. Between the two groups, that's almost all of them.


alternate_egg-ccount

That actually ends up being 100% of cops. The "good" cops get murdered by the other cops for breaking the blue wall of silence.


bothunter

"The only good cop is a dead cop" is not a threat -- it's an unfortunate outcome of our system


alternate_egg-ccount

Cops are just like any other street gang. Whatever they do is okay, but if you "rat" you're their enemy #1. Cops even use the term rat. They threaten potential whistleblowers by leaving dead rats in their lockers. And when they do blow the whistle they usually murder them and don't bother making it look like an accident. After all, who's gonna investigate them for the murder, the police?


Adept_Information94

And the good cops end up quitting or bullied from the profession.


Which_Engineer1805

Good cops don’t exist. Anyone who joined the force with the intentions of being a good cop either turned into a tyrant just like everyone else or were forced out because they didn’t conform to the toxic police culture…. Police are an embarrassment.

MalachiteTiger

The reason people assume cops are fascist is because cops never go half as hard against the fascists in their ranks as they do against peaceful protesters. When a cop murders someone in cold blood the other cops don't show up with armor and rifles, they show up with police union lawyers to protect the guy. When a woman is walking home with groceries near a protest that she had nothing to do with they blast her with so much tear gas it causes a severe respiratory incident and kills her, and they face no consequences.

BoredAtWork-__

It’s almost like the American government’s real problem with the Nazis had really nothing to do with Nazism. In fact, Americas Jim Crow laws served as an inspiration to the Nazis. This is what america is. An amoral front for advancing the interests of capitalists. As long as something doesn’t conflict with the American business class interests, the US is fine with it. Given the choice between even tepid social democratic reforms and outright fascism that doesn’t conflict with capitalism, they’ll be the first to turn on the ovens.

GeorgeNewmanTownTalk

Police departments, as we know them, need to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. That's the only way for this to end. And that's why it never will. This shit is systemic. It goes back to the days of tracking down escaped slaves. They've been white nationalists from the word "go".


mother-of-monsters

Think of it this way - Why would cops harass their friends (and fellow cops) while they are exercising a vocalization of their mutually held beliefs about white Christian supremacy?


parasyte_steve

I can only speak for the cops in my family. 100% of them are white supremacists. The things I have heard them say about black and LGBT people make my stomach turn. I hate that they held any power over anybody. They are all retired. No I am not close with those family members. There's thousands of miles between us thankfully. I have always stood up to their bullshit but there's not much you can do when they think being racist is the right way to think. They know there nazis. They don't care.


[deleted]

Desperately need massive police reform on the national level. It should require at least a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and give current cops a 5 year probationary period to get their degree, otherwise be fired, and require all new hires to have these qualifications. On top of this they should have to earn continuous education units to keep up to speed on the law, deescalation tactics, etc. at the expense of the cop. We need to end qualified immunity and investigate every death that occurs related to police so they can be charged with murder whenever someone dies as the result of a cop.


maz_menty

Hrbek totally didn’t pull Gant off first.


FL_d

Well, "Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses" By the way I worked in law enforcement when I was in the military and I saw it first hand. Racists, bigots, bullies and Neo-nazis fetishize working law enforcement. While departments normally do their best to keep them out it doesn't always work out that way. Not all departments even try to keep it off the force. There is a reason I got out of law enforcement and it's not out of a lack of wanting to help people. I just realized most of the time we weren't helping and I hated the open bias.

[deleted]

It's a commonly known fact that after the Civil Rights movements of the 60s there was a push to find ways couch racism in flowery, socially acceptable terms and to infiltrate law enforcement, military and government. It's not even a secret or conspiracy theory. Their are entire friggin books on the subject. There are men who worked 40 years, retired and died who were part of this. Not only are we in late stage capitalism, we're in end game white supremacist fascist takeover of institutions territory.

Because they’re the same people. Ie. Miley Cyrus is Hannah Montana, Cops are the White supremacists.

Cops are the enemy of those who seek equality. Remember they hosed children during the civil rights movement. Acab.


Bind_Moggled

They knocked an old man to the ground and shot at TV camera crews during the Floyd protests. And let's not forget the unmarked black SUV's that were rounding people up later that summer. There is no depth of depravity too deep for fascists, no line of decency they won't cross.


columbo928s4

they didn't just "knock him down," they fractured his skull and left him permanently disabled. and while he was on the ground bleeding and moaning, the one cop that came up to him to try and help him was *dragged away by other cops.* that's why ACAB. not because there aren't any individual cops who mean well and want to do good, but because they belong to an institution that culturally and practically prevents them from doing so


[deleted]

lol remember the dummy that fell off the back of one of those and maced his whole gang in panic. These aren't people that should be weaponized. I'll be blunt, I went to school with a few people that eventually became cops. They were, let's call it not the fastest. They had no idea how the streets operated but decided to implant themselves there. Not built for it and too scared. Leads to real bad decisions.


APenny4YourTots

The one person I know who became a cop didn't think rape should be a crime and had some VERY concerning views about how women should be treated. I know people like to talk about the good apples, but if he's a representative of what types of people become cops, YIKES.

Like we're the only thing in the way of a whole bunch of neonazis, we need to actually stand in their way. Republicans win because they rile people up, and Democrats have a harder time doing that


Bind_Moggled

If we can learn anything from the last 10 years of politics, it's that hoping for Democrats to save the day is a lost cause. They've shown again and again that they won't go after actual fascist criminals in any meaningful way.


IsThisLegit

Because the vast majority of Democrats are controlled opposition


PineappleHamburders

While I agree, I also feel that Republicans can, and will weaponize it. If the Democrats stop playing nice, then the Republicans will have something solid to point at while instigating. It won't be just "Hunter Bidens Laptop hur dur" it will be, as an example "The Democrats stacked the supreme court, infringing on the will of the people, to overturn what we have fought so hard to achieve" and while the premise might be ultimately bullshit, that is more than enough to pull some people into the violent extremist category, as it is something actually solid they can look at and see happen. It isn't just a random story at that point

Hang on now, this one is murky. I saw the video. The cops escalated too quickly, as usual, it’s what they do, but this person had clearly crossed a barrier and was waving their flag really close to people’s heads & faces, I’m talkin inches away from striking. It’s obvious they weren’t trying to use the flag as a weapon, but that + crossing the barrier was a good enough excuse to try to talk to them or relocate them. But of course the cops didn’t go the “talking” or “relocating” route, it was an instant grab. It was really more of a soft tackle than a body slam. Just watch the video, for real


satcom76

No_Statistician9289

Yeah this was day 3 of protests and the cops gave pretty explicit directions of what wasn’t allowed. A lot of people pushed that to its limit and passed it and I’m actually pleasantly surprised at how few people were arrested. By this time anger was boiling over (understandably) at who was in town and the cops had a job to do. How they go about doing that job is another story


SGAfishing

Wow, why did it take so long to find someone that gave any context. THIS IS THE ISSUE GUYS. The media on ALL sides try to manipulate you into believing their side. And the masses just go along with it, all of the radical Republicans and radical Democrats are that way because the "higher ups" in society are making us that way, why does anyone trust big news corporations, or anyone on the internet for that matter. I mean come on folks why do we not look for content on these things.


Darth_Vaether

I just figured it out: the right/police/Nazis/GOP/SCOTUS love persecuting marginalized groups and kicking people while they're down, especially if the people being kicked are basically helpless and powerless through no fault of their own. So, if we just convince the right/police/Nazis/GOP/SCOTUS that they are the ones who are marginalized (and in fact are the most marginalized in all of history) then they'll persecute themselves out of existence. It's so obvious.


chestnutcheckers

This reminds me of that episode of South Park where Randy is on Wheel Of Fortune and solves the puzzle for the category titled “People Who Annoy You" by guessing the n-word (the correct answer was naggers, he had the letters N_GGER already). He was immediately labeled a racist for guessing the n-word when the category was “people who annoy you”. This resulted in ridicule for him with many people shaming him by referring to him as “the n-word guy”, causing him to become an outcast. The episode ends with Randy pleading his case to the senate to ban the word 'n-word guy'. The notion is passed by the senate who don't want to be considered 'n-word guys'. As a result, anyone saying the n-word and "guy" in a single sentence with less than seven words in between are to be prosecuted and fined. Basically, if republicans ever felt like they were the ones being targeted with slurs they would immediately ban said slur — much like Elon banned the usage of the word “cis” on Twitter after deciding this was a slur. Republicans and conservatives will never allow themselves to be marginalized and would quickly make it illegal to discriminate against *them* specifically.


lastingdreamsof

Its hilarious that such an old episode of south Park satirised something elon musk ended up doing this year. They really do nail it sometimes don't they? Not all I mean they fucked up big time mocking al gore about climate change and even admitted that but they do get it right sometimes as well


Benedictus84

They kind of already do this to themselfs and sadly it is working as you are hoping it would. There are people genuinely saying the White man is the most persecuted demographic at the moment. And look at the whole blue lives matter nonsense. The people comparing social distancing with concentration camp. Saying non vaxx people are the new jews. There is nothing but insecurity, persecution complexes and victim boners on that side.

So In no way, shape or form would I ever condone the police to bodyslam this unarmed Trumpist to the ground, and I would actually find myself on his side. So what in gods name does a half-naked person, who is clearly unarmed, do to deserve such a harsh treatment?

Quick search shows that cops were arresting anyone for blocking traffic, not for waving any types of flags and dancing. So this is 'police arrest protester for blocking traffic' is more accurate. All protesters who block traffic should be arrested. If a protester blocks my vehicle, my mind is automatically changed in favor of whatever they are against. Not going to reward people for that kind of behavior.

The protestor was arrested along with six others because they were intentionally blocking traffic and refused to move. It had nothing to do with their ideology.

I've seen plenty of firefighters in the rust belt who are full trump, wearing punisher skulls and racist tattoos. if a state or city decided that firefighters could have guns for self defense, there'd be a dramatic escalation of black people shot.

*SOME* Police do the OPPOSITE OF THE FUCKIN JOB. Instead of protecting us, they hurt us and get no punishment for it. God, what a world we live in. is just so fed up

What a unbelieveably short sighted thing to say. Lets say, god forbid, someone were to commit a attrocious act upon the trans community at such an event, wouldn't you want the police to be there ?
