I mean I don't imagine they'd ban you from like "Just women's toilets in London" or something if they felt they needed to ban you from women's toilets at all.

Yeah, but we live in today. We should be glad the carjacker didn't film a tik tok video about a dank gas hack of just stealing a car instead of buying one

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Man charged after eating stolen chips dropped by thief, police say by jab116
We don't need to arrest someone for such a paltry amount, and to do so is just silly and a waste of time and resources. Exponentially more is going to be spent on trial and housing for this individual. How many days of incarceration is worth, what, ten dollars? People should not be arrested and imprisoned for a crime whose value is single digits that involved no violence or threat of violence. The guy ate some chips, that were stolen by someone else. He isn't a criminal mastermind or a danger to the public, the arrest was excessive and unnecessary based on the alleged crime committed.

How are trans people responsible for the actions of this cis man? How would forcing trans people to use a bathroom that is not befitting to them stop this man from just walking into another women's bathroom tomorrow?

I mean police by nature are paramilitary due to their usually post Civil War founding, so adopting ranks and medals made sense then. But I do think they’ve leaned into the military style aspect too much

Do you believe our world would be better if we decriminalized all retail theft valued under $5?
I get your point and I’m not asking them to throw the book at the guy. I am also not even advocating that they arrest or charge him. My comment is just that, if he knew it was stolen and chose that opportunity to take it for himself, it’s still theft. If the headline was cops arrest man for stealing 2 bags of chips, it would still be a low level offense and still probably not worth the time to seriously prosecute, but we could maybe stop calling all the cops racist and pretend the man is a victim.
I’m just pointing out that we don’t seem to expect any better decisions from the people breaking the law (even when it’s not a serious infraction). It’s the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Reply to comment by pornosucht in A pregnant murder suspect should get out of jail because her fetus hasn't been charged with a crime and isn't getting proper medical care, court documents argue by jdb1984
The baby is confined in the mother until birth, so the mothers location is irrelevant.
Obviously the baby should receive proper medical care until birth.
And then be placed with a properly family who didn’t commit murder after birth.

Back in the 80s someone snatched an old lady's handbag in front of my dad. My dad chased him and managed to catch him, at which point he gave him a good kicking.
Dragged the guy back to where the old lady was by which point the police had arrived. One police officer was like "What happened to him?" and the senior officer just said "He fell" and they arrested the guy.

McWhorter also received the Medal of Valor award in 2018 because of his response during a 2017 officer-involved shooting in Colorado City. McWhorter and Deputy Charles Roldan were responding to a search for Dennis Flowers, who had an arrest warrant out for a robbery.
Flowers allegedly pointed a gun at McWhorter, according to the CIT report for the incident. Roldan first shot Flowers twice, and then McWhorter shot the man 10 times “until Flowers fell to the ground.”

Don't remember asking. Anyone going out of their way to associate malice with my comment should probably look into CB therapy. You've gotta be living in a pretty dark place in your head.

If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that cops have not earned and do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Do not blindly believe what they say - for fucks sake they even have a word for lying under oath during a trial, "testilying."

If I saw someone camly walk out and accidentally drop a bag of chips? No. If I seen them running out carrying an entire display and drop a few bags while trying to jam it in their car and speed off…ya, probably??

Because the police supposedly reviewed surveillance footage and came to the conclusion that the chip-eater knew they were stolen? Yes, you could assume the cops also came to that conclusion because they’re just racist dicks. You could assume a whole bunch of shit that takes the case either way. But from the details we have, I don’t think that the assumption that he witnessed the thief come out with the display is necessarily a bad one.

I found 2 wallets at different times. Taking them to the police station was an exercise in stupidity. I was carded and questioned. Nowadays I drop wallets and IDs in a postal drop box.
