Apr 13, 2021 Sorry if this "sop story" is too serious for a forum, ill remember to let you guys live in your own little bubbles from now on.
Apr 13, 2021 You're just throwing s--- at a wall and seeing what sticks. Middle aged man grow the f--- up
Apr 13, 2021 Isn't Kerser's angle that all the other Australian rappers hate him and never gave him any help? Can you show me a quote from any member of Hilltop saying anything that could remotely construed that they like Kerser? I feel like you are making s--- up.
Apr 13, 2021 I think there is a lot of head cracking going on in the Twin Cities because cops want to show support for Chauvin and they are frustrated by the way the trial is going so they are using any excuse to make a show of force.
Apr 13, 2021 I post like 3 sentences, you paraphrase 3 words and try to make a point out of it - do you have the reading comprehension of a bonobo ape? Or are you cornered with nothing to say so not pick? I'm just saying if you white knighting on an eminem forum somehow makes you better than me IRL your a deluded cuntshit lmfao. It's simple, but keep misconstruing it since you think your top s--- now you defended some rapper in female attire online. Child, get outside.
Apr 13, 2021 "I never listen to Kerser cus u reccomend him but I know his shtick" Yeah I must be lying! Are you actually r-----ed or what?
Apr 13, 2021 Just because I know someone's gimmick doesn't mean I waste my time listening to them. Notice you couldn't produce the Hilltop Hoods saying he is the greatest.
Apr 13, 2021 His gimmick is that mainstream radio stations wouldn't play him. Just cause hilltop had like a few breakthrough songs doesn't mean s--- lmao. 99. 99% of Australian rap/hip hop artists respect him. Not sure what in the f--- makes you think you (or anyone for that matter) asking me to find something for them will warrant a response other than "do it yourself c----"????
Apr 13, 2021 d---, dude. You seem upset. Kerser is never going to happen. It's cool that you have niche taste and you stan an underground artist that basically no one cares about.
Apr 13, 2021 After seeing this, I feel the taser vs. gun thing could of been avoided if he didn't try to flee. His actions definitely made the cops react differently. The cop should be trained to react to scenarios like that, so that's on her as well too.
Apr 13, 2021 This is the only part that matters. It’s either purposeful negligence as an individual or as an institution, based on it being a common occurrence, it wouldn’t be wrong to assume the latter.
Apr 13, 2021 So you think that kids actions are irrelevant to how the cops reacted towards him? My argument to that is, you're letting the cop dictate the situation if you feel nothing you do has any effect on what cops do to you. If i'm doing everything right, I expect the situation to be resolved as to why I was stopped to the lowest extent possible.
Apr 13, 2021 cops can and will use force on people who react in virtually any way to their demands—this is baked into how they interact with people, they give contradictory orders even when working alone. they s---t or maim people who are doing exactly what you’re supposed to do. so, knowing that, how can a person be blamed for fleeing out of fear? especially when cops have their actions excused for “idk, i was scared, i didn’t know what to do!” all the time.
Apr 13, 2021 to my knowledge, you're trained to s---t to k---. It's never to maim. At least that's how it is in the military. I get the fear factors, but let's weigh it out. I'm more afraid of reacting then the simple fact i'm just being questioned or talked to. The talking and questioning stops once I decided to react differently to what they are saying. I'm nervous everytime i'm pulled over for sure. I'm scared if I do something to make the situation worse. I KNOW running or sudden movements is an automatic alert for cops, so i'm not doing it.
Apr 13, 2021 I wonder if this is at all caused by the individuals who make up this civilian review boards. Are they representative of the greater LA area demographically? If it’s made up of predominantly a bunch of middle/upper-middle class white folks, this wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
Apr 13, 2021 i mean, this is all u really needed to say. the previous graf? petulance! my fear is the kind of wild, hypothetical change you seek is almost impossible. as you yourself akcnowedge, this is a significant step for people who understand how incremental change and government intersect - by necessity. but then again, we have seen numerous times recently, its not rly about ~winning, or making actual policy strides. anyway, i was just posting to combat the sullen tone lol -- you claimed there'd been no consequences, so opted to share one sweeping example of what a state legislature has done within the past week. it may very well not be enough, but then again nothing will
Apr 13, 2021 When people get murdered for fleeing from the cops, it's "they shouldn't have ran away" or "they should have just listened to the cops." When people get murdered for complying and standing still for the cops, it's "they shouldn't have broken the law" or "they shouldn't have been loitering" or whatever. If you think you're gonna get shot no matter what, can you really blame anyone for taking their chances by running away?
Apr 13, 2021 honestly what kind of loser takes a job where you drive around writing citations to people for illegal air fresheners (and this is coming from someone who knows a lot about meaningless jobs, i write copy for a living)
Apr 13, 2021 not rly interested in your psychoanalysis—not your field!—and would again make the point that many “reform” measures, such as increased training etc, are in fact steps backward because they earmark more money for police with little enforceable oversight as to how it’s actually spent/how officers are monitored post-training etc. i mean, the highly publicized killing in atlanta last year was by a cop who had recently completed a de-escalation training course. we are at cross-purposes: you think you and i have wildly different tastes in how to pursue similar policy goals but the goals are not the same at all edit: revisiting our first exchange— i think you are getting defensive on behalf of [maryland democrats? state-level officials in general? democrats as a whole?] and you don’t need to be! my post didn’t say “police have effective impunity because democrats aren’t good enough.” police forces effectively run a lot of major cities, or at least act as autonomous institutions, and that’s true in cities with democratic and republican mayors, in democratic/republican-controlled states, etc. i was commenting on how intractable the problem is and theorizing about where, given that intractability, legislation had to start chipping away at it, and you took up arms for your boys in maryland! tangential.
