Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Stealing food doesn't mean you're immoral, it means society is immoral.

If they're stealing it to eat, sure.
If they're stealing it so they can sell warm coat meat down the local flat roof pub and spend the proceeds on heroin, then... you probably also want to pretend you didn't see it because you're not paid enough to be stabbed by a junkie with a used syringe.
Imagine driving around, probably with a punisher logo somewhere on your uniform or gear, and then posting your big bust of… store brand groceries
It’s their phone wallpaper if you can’t see it anywhere else
Lol, my buddy, who is not a cop but interacts with them fairly regularly for his job, has the punisher logo on his watchface.
He's a good guy but I regularly tease him for it, and some of his viewpoints.
I care less WHY they stole the food. I just find it distasteful when the cops post these "look how bad ass we are" social media posts. Crime, no matter why it was committed, should not be used as someones time to celebrate or the special time before the trial to convince the public that the suspect is guilty via Facebook,etc. Least of all by the group of people who do the arresting.
It's because the police view themselves as a "team" that is basically 'playing' against the other team....everyone else. To them, this is a win and shows how good they are. It's quite disturbing how indoctrinated they are and almost nobody realizes it.
They deleted the Tweet and released a halfhearted apology.
As is tradition
Now he just sits back and waits on his promotion. Nailed the asshole part of the evaluation
Having to steal food is super tiresome. Would rather not have to, but I've never felt bad about doing it. Imagine that. The normalization of the degradation is my issue personally. Putting people on one side of a moral line based on bullshit economic factors that for the one stealing are a kin to the winds of fate.
"A female" seems kinda dehumanizing, like talking about an animal or words spoken by an incel.
That caught my eye too, but I think it might be a reflection of how law enforcement speaks “a female suspect” “a male detainee” etc.
Por que no los dos?
An incel pig running their Twitter hardly seems a stretch.
I get that they say "a female" because that's how they "identify" people via police reports and such. But I still cringe so bad when I hear someone say "a female".
Female what? Deer? Shark? Dog?
That's part of it, but police jargon is meant to dehumanize suspects. They could just as easily say man or woman but those words imply person-hood. While animals can be male or female they can't be a man or woman. Male-Black-46 works just as well to describe an animal in a study as a human on the street.

Thank you for adding this. I’ll see if I can sticky it to the top for anyone who needs to see it.
I like how they turned away the lube like no one would notice
The food i understand but not the rest. Food has become so damn expensive these days.
