Jury’s still out on whether that was actually him replying to people via Grok but it’s pretty close to certain he was in very close proximity

There are outright bad cops, and there are cops that are somewhat competent at following procedure – but that doesn’t make them good cops. A lot of the time it’s the doing of the job itself that makes them bad cops.

They can always make that shit up later and get off without consequences.

A national-level Taekwondo player has alleged that she was gang-raped inside an ashram located right next to a police station1·1 month agoNo you won’t. It’s significantly higher in the subcontinent, and those are the 10% that actually make it to the news. We tend to cling pretty hard to the “women are property” idea around these parts, unfortunately

This has given rise to a middleman industry where Gazans have to wirelessly transfer money via the Bank of Palestine app to a “money exchanger” office who will give them physical cash in exchange, while taking a (now 45%) cut for themselves to be able to pay the rich businessmen who are hoarding the cash

Zero provocation.10·1 month agoJudging by their relative sizes in the screengrab and with some quick back-of-the-envelope math, the cop shot her from about 5 meters away. That’s pretty fucking close to point blank, no?

Considering ICE recently detained a US Marshal “by mistake”, I think that’s right on the money

Your “friend”, if they exist, is either a fucking moron and or they’re fucking with you. People everywhere in the country like having toilets and indoor plumbing, sometimes they just can’t afford them because the government has their heads up their own asses
