Sure, and if you're the sort of person that needs everything to be sorted into neat black or white bins, maybe that's relevant.

The fact that getting screamed at and spit on is unpleasant remains, though.

Police officers aren't regularly screamed at or spit on. Where are you getting your information from? Are you just making it up?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes, they are. You think whatever asshole doing a domestic is above it? They manufacture spit hoods because that's a regular issue.

I literally witnessed an arrest like this myself within the past month or so.

So your evidence is... a single witness event? And you think that means it happens with regularity? I'm sorry but something isn't adding up. : /

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

And the entire industry of manufacturing spit hoods, and furnishing prisons with things they won't stab each other with, and various other grim things. And common knowledge. And those shitty live cop shows that used to be on. And common sense that criminals aren't nice.

It's also not the first such thing I've personally seen, and probably won't be the last. You see, I'm not rich like typical Lemmings, and (not to be a dick about it) honestly probably you.

"And common knowledge".

You haven't provided any real evidence that what you say is true so I'm going to chalk this up to adolescent infatuation.

Last thought before I go. Maybe if cops weren't such horrible human beings they wouldn't be hated by people?

Have a day. 🫱

Nah, people will hate over the dumbest, tiniest things. I'm a Jew, Germans are and were perfectly nice people. You probably hate me right now, and I haven't done anything. At the other end, terrible people have done wonderful things.

I know you're going to forget this exchange ever happened, but if I could pick a takeaway, it actually wouldn't have anything to do with the police. (Hey, I don't like them either)

[–] xabit24368@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago

I don't hate you

we the working class are in this together.
