The cops are out in force on reddit today. I have never seen so many pro-police comments on reddit before or so many downvotes for for those who bad-mouth them!
For some reason I read your comment in the voice of cartman. It's a fucking message board with voting, there are many different groups on here not just those who believe in your point of view. It's not a fucking safe house or some clandestine hub of secret information, it hasn't been compromised because that would imply there was some sort of integrity in the first place. it's just the way the format is. It's open to any asshole to spew whatever educated or uneducated opinion or bullshit they would like , as this sub is ample proof of.
And comically anti-Russian, not that I'm hardcore pro-Russia but even factual and relatively unbiased comments face heavy downvoting if it goes against the 'Russia is evil' fearmongering circlejerk.
Oh yeah, definitely. Reminds me of why I almost always avoid the big, default subreddits. They have decent links, sometimes, but the discussion is fucking terrible. It feels like a totally different reddit where (even more than usually) ignorant shit is upvoted.
I don't about that too many use reddit as PR now. And bots be abound that can up or down vote something to easily now. As for common sense I have always that phrase to be miss leading as sense has never been that common.
Hamas is defending what little ground of THEIR occupied country they have left. Isreal has no right to the land and they know it. That is why they want all Palestinians dead. Everything else about the situation is a lullaby to put people to sleep and not see the reality of the situation.
Any government can and will do bad things. Comes from being able to tell others what to do and not do them yourself. And on the flip side you can say I was just following orders. As for the 9/11( I had just join the army 2 months before we was hit. and even the top brass didn't think they was being told the whole truth so until the they show the whole truth we going to get things like the truthers are saying.) But my common sense tell me we should stop feed the idiotic Leaders of the two factions and start empowering the individuals thou technology and outer space exploration and get rid of the need for all these power grapes this will be the state of the world until all sides lose.
Not sure about the 1,000,000 users but it isn't that far fetched to think a country uses a website as a platform for propaganda. In fact, if a country
doesn't
try to use big websites as a platform for propaganda, they are incredibly stupid for refusing to utilize such an effective tool.
I can tell you what Solomon would do...slice that baby in two and see which momma pleaded, "PLEEEEEEEEASE, NOOOOO!", and then
grant
the lucky duck to her.

Cops absolutely have the right to stop rioters. What they DON'T have the right to do is deny the press their right to document their efforts. They DON'T have the right to assume peaceful protests are rioters. They are there to catch people who commit crimes. They can't & shouldn't try to prevent crime by punishing people before a crime is committed. It is ineffective, unconstitutional, & quite frankly, lazy. I don't know if the kid was innocent or not. I wasn't there, but what I do know is that Ferguson police responded to the situation in a way that only incited more violence, & violated the Constitution. Looks like the State Patrol might be better policemen than these wanna-be Ferguson Army.
Real police don't bother me. Now that the State Patrol has relieved these loons, I bet things calm down. We'll see.
Oh no! Someone expressed an opinion different than yours! Better go on a diatribe on how reddit is pro-cop/pro-Israeli/pro- whatever you disagree with! Or better yet, label them shills!
Sorry I have no link or proof other than what you can see for yourself r/news is a good place to look. Wish I know how to make a bot that could sort it out. Still learning how to make one. If anyone does this is a good point. All I know for sure is that reddit has been mostly been a free form of a water cooler talk until reddit became a news feed like twitter and facebook. Man I wish I knew how to make a bot.

Why would the government care what Reddit thinks? We have effectively no control over anything they care to do. Public support isn't necessary at any level for a government as corrupt as
/r/conspiracy
seems to think ours is.
What are you talking about? Reddit was the reason SOPA was stopped a few years back. Nowadays at least some money is spent making sure something like that won't happen again.
Well, no, not at all. Reddit is a very small fraction of the internet, which as I'm sure you know, is very very large, and SOPA was protested in every internet forum across the US.
I tell ya what if one of them killed my kid for no reason wouldn't be so many of them left to be out in force. That's a fact jack. I will do like Richard Pryor said those double Muslims do , I will go down but I'm taking out 8 or 9 of those pig bastards with me.
Us lurkers are tired of being bad mouthed by people who have jumped to conclusions, where very few facts have been released.
Further, if it WAS a bad cop, we shouldn't all be judged by the actions of one. Just as all X people shouldn't be judged by the actions of one X person.
I live in kansas. Every redneck would love a SHTF here and the cops and the poeple try to mess stuff up would lose bad. bad bad! Each house hold has enough guns to supply the whole block 10x over. Poor as hell but have nice ass car they built themselves and guns. The type of guns you could commit a war crime with.
Hmm.. how to put it? I don't hate cops. But I don't think the are really needed ether. That is the old way. We have insane technology now. That there is no need for money. What I care about is lost of life and cops kill more than those who died over seas. And very few cops have died in return. The problem is money at the roots of all of this. All the hate the mistrust stem from the need for money. So if we have the problem solving skills to deal with this than why don't we? We can rebuild from this WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY to be gods. And may the rest of the cosmos fear our coming.( I only care about humans eff the rest of the planets.)
I don't think we need heavily armed paramilitary roving our streets and knocking down our doors.
My community is safe because it's full of decent people who are capable and able of serving their basic needs, not because of the threat of extreme violence should they step out of line. That threat doesn't exist, because I don't live in America.
So yes you do think we need cops? Just not militarised ones? Got it, you should have said that. Its way better than saying "we don't need cops". That just made you sound stupid
We don't need
anybody
who can get up every morning
absolutely certain
he can get away with anything he does, which is the default state for what are called "police" in the US. At least a 'civilian' criminal knows he may be caught, convicted and punished; the "police" have none of those inhibitions.
Not as you understand the term. Clearly peacekeepers are needed, but not in the role and kind we currently have, and certainly not as a professional class of over-citizens.
What I said is there's no place for
immune-from-consequences
police. Back away from the strawman. If you want a debate on the size of the 'profession', start a new thread.
If you keep up with technology you would already know about the advances in the bio and cyborgics and nanotechnology. If you can't kill anyone then there is no murder. And what is arson when you can rebuild back in a day.Take all the fun from those who get enjoyment from that kind of thing. Please try to keep up with the times. We in the USA are so backwards. It's like I live back in the 1800's. We know all there is to know and we are going to change./s
Cops are need for the now or we would have the purge every day of the week, BUT technology will make them obsolete. And we need to start working on this or you are going to be rule over by people that have robots that care even less about your life than the cops now.
