YouTube is convinced that the only thing I want to watch is police bodycams, and because I click them I suppose I’m not disabusing it of that idea.
There’s a world of police bodycam videos and if I see one that indicates the LAPD is involved, I know, with absolute certainty, I’m about to witness some of the worst policing known to man.
And the thing is it’s not that they are super abusive of their police powers in these bodycams, at least not intentionally, it’s that they seem to lack any kind of competence. Their reactions to situations are astounding in the amount of resources they will use to run around in a chaotic mess. I have to imagine their training manual is attempting to get criminals to give up through sheer cringe of watching them flail around.
If I were to ever encounter the LAPD I would immediately comply, because I would worry that if I at all failed to follow their instructions, 20 trainees would show up shooting each other with 40mm foam rounds until someone gets injured and I’d be on the hook for attempted murder somehow.
Police and sheriff departments all across Florida would like a moment of your time.
Anyone alive and here to represent Chicago 1964?
Happy cake day
Like with Florida Man a lot of that is simply due to Florida's more lax reporting standards. It's less that Florida law enforcement are exceptionally worse and more that they're the sample that is most transparently on display.
Which is worrisome.
The idiot governor of Florida just ok'd running people over with a car using the excuse "they were a protester".
So, yeah. It's not just the reporting, Florida is a fuck show.
They don't even use rioter or terrorist anymore.
Wyoming thinks it's cool to for armed citizens to oversee state senate votes.
It can be both.
Yeah Wyoming shouldn't even be a fucking state. Let's just call it what it is, southern Montana... Or northern Colorado, take your pick. There are towns in my state with a higher population than all of Wyoming.
