Even with all the eyes of the world on them, US cops can't stop killing and maiming people, ramming cars into crowds, shooting at nurses and journalists, pepper spraying kids and pregnant women... Not just a few cops, not just one department, but systematically across the US. ACAB

and yet, still you haven't implemented features that would make mastodon safer for Black people... :breadthink:

@Gargron There needs to be a genuine revolutionary change in our system in general from top to bottom for sure ✊ : twitter.com/i/status/126938675

Police violence has happened the past years in France and other countries. Police kills & injures citizens they are supposed to protect. These police violences need to be brought to the attention if everyone so people realises what is happening and it can happen to them...

@Gargron What you said... and.... news can't stop from reporting most sensational issues. Celebs can't stop sending most violent people free. The exact same politicians that are in charge of city policy units are not calling from them to be disbanded. All to ovoid responsibility

@Gargron the United States is a representative democracy, but it doesn't represent people; it represents land. Why do you think there are two Dakotas, etc? It's all for political power. The Senate has 2 seats for each state, no matter the population. Combine this fact with how liberals tend to cluster together in cities and don't even WANT political power and you have a country ruled by a small number of conservative voters. They pick the President who then appoints the Supreme Court Justices.

You're right Eugeen, and the worst part is that the work of so many honest cops is put in a bad light .... even if they risk their lives

When your back window caves in and somebody enters your house at 2AM, you have two options. You can be proficient with violence and go downstairs and handle it yourself. Or you're going to call 911 and ask for somebody to act on your behalf.

I can do the former (say, in the top 25% of the population). But it's a sucky solution. You can't just spray hate on the current solution. We need a better morphing of what it is into what it should/could be.

@Gargron This brutality clearly happened after Trump called for it and called for it over and over. Clearly, the justice system listened to him all the way down the chain of command. This brutality is a punishment for the uprising despite these peaceful protesters having nothing to do with it. Criminal justice lost its civility and started rioting, and their commanding officers are almost certainly driving this madness.

@Gargron they just can't help themselves! Because it's what they were trained to do, instead of "serve and protect". It's all they know

@Gargron

That's nice and all but what are you personally doing to help make the world, even just mastodon safer for people that need it? Implementing features people have been asking for, perhaps even practically begging for for a long time? I'd like to see that happen so that there's some weight behind these words.
