I always use my gun to fix squeaky door hinges!" permalink fedilink source parent [–] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) What do you think rightwing chuds that demand to bring assault rifles into ice cream shops are going to use their 30 round 5.56mm ar-15 with 90 rounds of ammunition for? If rightwing libertarian free speech warriors had even the tiniest scrap of integrity to their beliefs they would clearly be livid with anger about a random person possessing a firearm being deemed a lethal threat by the unelected government officials and then arbitrarily executed on the spot. You would think these brave defenders of American culture would immediately recognize the problem with making it ok for an unelected government official to shoot someone else on sight for possessing a firearm, and face almost zero percent chance of consequences for being wildly incompetent and racist? Of course, this is about who rightwing culture teaches you to be afraid of and who rightwing culture absolves of all responsibility for threatening and committing lethal violence in our communities. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] fustigation769curtain@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago Sorry, I didn't read all that.

But it's not like he has a history of this shit, oh wait "Coleman was implicated in court testimony in 2022 for participating in the Vallejo police badge bending scandal, where officers bent the tips of their badges to mark fatal shootings. Coleman testified his badge was bent against his will, but a department superior testified that he was more involved than he said and may have even helped spread the practice to other officers." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hex_m_hell@slrpnk.net 30 points 2 years ago* (1 child) People underestimate the number of active serial killers there are because so many of them wear badges and their murders are never prosecuted. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Similarly people also underestimate the number of people who commit domestic violence against their partners, the numbers are obviously difficult to get a real handle on (you are asking people to reveal things they might not want to reveal, even if they are the victim) but the number is probably somewhere around 30% of cops commit domestic abuse on their spouses and family. permalink fedilink source parent
