In feudal japan the samurai had the legal right to kill any peasants they wanted. If people objected to a killing they could travel days to the capital to have the conduct reviewed. it was rarely punished for a variety of reasons
Good thing we don't live in a federal system anymore.
This is an extremely apt comparison. The US formed out of feudal elements like a southern aristocracy, and the cops were invented to be their slave catchers. They are petty bourgie sheriffs of the Wild West, ronins who are a warrior class above us but below the royalty and owners.
In the north, they then brought those cops in alongside pinkertons to break strikes and kill trade unionists.
It’s the exact same relationship to the state and to the people as feudal ronins.
I read a short story called Iron Clads by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It is a dramatic retelling of the class conflict inherent in the martial classes. Kights were landlord cops. Same as samurai. The picture of knights we have is a rich guy wearing armor the equivalent of a Ferrari. Their equipment was purpose built for killing peasants. A knights sword didn't work on other armored knights. The symbol of their power is for killing peasants. Same as most similar social classes. Our cops do not have the nobility or landlord aspect so they doubble dip on the violence.
At least the knights had to go war with each other every once and a while when there were squabbles between nobility. Modern cops never have to go to war against other cops.
Ehh, when they actually wanted to kill eachother they used specialized weapons peasants didn't have. Most the time they just captured eachother for ransom and prestige. They were specialized for the managment and destruction of peasants
They pretty much only wore the armor when killing each other
Depends on the period. There were some armors for that. However for most the periods we care about it was mostly used to fuck up poor people for being sad.
Gangs of ronin kkkops wandering the country side blasting away at even the tiniest sound.
Very normal to call up your criminal union to make sure your ass is protected from the crimes you're doing.
Unions work.
Facts:
• Officers did not ask Mascarella to submit to a breath test.
• A sergeant notified the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association that a detective wanted Mascarella tested. The PBA sent a delegate who removed Mascarella from the scene.
• When ordered by the department to catch up with Mascarella, a fellow officer lied to a supervisor saying he had administered the blood alcohol test and Mascarella had passed it. The officer later retracted his story.
• When an inspector ordered Mascarella to take the test three hours after the crash, Mascarella refused. The refusal should have prompted the issuance of a warrant to have Mascarella’s blood drawn. Instead, the inspector only issued a traffic ticket.
• Police did not notify the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office on the night of the crash. The omission prevented the DA from considering whether to seek a warrant to test Mascarella’s blood.
• Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney told Newsday that “because certain evidence was not collected by SCPD on the date of the incident, we were unable to make a determination as to whether or not a crime was committed.”
this is a full boat criminal conspiracy. all the individuals bolded should be named publicly, fired, indicted and jailed for federal felony obstruction with max penalties which would be like 5 years in the can, and then opened up for civil suits to help the family with medical bills, suffering, etc.
"Breathe into this for me, please."
"No."
"Okay."
You absolutely can refuse a breathalyzer, I've seen it enough times in the field as a paramedic-- that or the drunk person simply can't seem to figure it out, officer )': You, too, should refuse the breathalyzer, but also, if you're driving drunk, go fuck yourself you huge piece of shit.
Now, what they can do after that is arrest you and get blood labs done at the hospital. Also seen that. That they just seem to have ended it there is bullshit.
That makes sense. Blood is probably more accurate.
As a 17 year old I was walking home from my second job at 3am, about 2 miles from my house and I had a particularly rough day. The streets we're empty so when a cop drove by he stopped me, asked where I was going, coming from etc. and said I was acting funny. I worked masonry during the day at the time and then went straight to a night shift at a fast food place, so I was acting funny, I was absolutely exhausted. I told him that, and for a second I thought he might offer me a ride home. Instead he pulled out a breathalyzer and told me to blow in it, I said no because I just didn't want to, he called for fucking backup. Had 3 cops cornering me telling me to blow into the tube or else, I obliged knowing I hadn't been drinking and when it showed all 0s they said it must've been a faulty machine. So they threw me in a holding cell for a few hours before taking me to the hospital to take my blood, waited a while for the results and what do you know, nothing.
In the end the cop said he was going to do me a "favor" and just give me a bullshit ticket for trespassing instead of taking me to jail. Me being an agnsty 17 year old going on no sleep for almost 48 hours, I said fuck you and spit in his face, which resulted in a dog pile of 4 cops on top of a scrawny, 120lb teenager which left me with a nice gash on my head. They locked me in a holding cell again for another few hours before they just let me go, no ticket, no apology, nothing, just a way for them to kill some time I guess.
Sorry for novel, this triggered something in me that brought that night back to the front of my brain.
Jesus Christ. I believe you 100%. It's my experience that metro police are almost always where you find the unhelpful fucking assholes that fish for trouble. Sheriff's departments tend to (TEND TO) stock much more of the crowd of folks who got into law enforcement because they want to stop the bad guys as opposed to the type of people who jizz their pants about the thought of writing tickets to the homeless and beating the shit out of a disrespectful teen. God help you if the cop is wrong and they can see that they're wrong, because they'll never admit it and just lean on might makes right instead. You sure enough got to experience that.
There are some cops that are good people who really do just want to help, but I think that it either gets beaten out of them by the prevailing department culture across the US of "we're literally unironically at war with the populace", or they get run out of the department/job for not fitting in. Imo, that aspect of things has gotten noticably worse, not better. I'm sorry that happened to you.
bro couldnt let the italian americans ride out at least a whole month of solid italian guy news without fucking it up
Last time I went to union negotiations I asked if we could all open carry as it was legal at the time. They said no. Clearly having a union with guns work cause look at this
Treat him like a CEO.
So let me get this straight: Nationalists want to protect the cops and police unions despite this being among the many issues with police unions and they're considered patriots who love America, meanwhile leftists who want to end police unions and reform the country (so that our cops are more like China's cops) are considered traitors who hate America?
The words "be more like China" are a capital offense to these people
they don't have the same laws as us
