I’m waiting for,
‘Do you know how much it hurts us to shoot a civilian? Recoil is a bitch.’
I object to this. There are plenty of good folks who live with their parents. Why insult them with the comparison?
#basement lives matter…
The impression I get is that pkbites would shoot a baby in the face (“I thought that bottle was a gun.”) if it meant he could justify that it saved a cop’s life. After all, a cop’s life is infinitely more valuable than a civilian’s . . . and who knows what that baby was concealing under that blanket. Can’t take chances.
I laughed!
That diaper was loaded
Sure, but it was just a peashooter.
Pittee uses a sexist term over in this thread:
My favorite part is he wants to call the crimj system “pussy juice” but has to censor it. Was his fainting couch not nearby?
And he doesn’t think that term is sexist at all. Uh, what?
It’s been moderated. Claiming that it’s not sexist is delusional beyond belief.
He even added a word to remove any (im)plausible deniability. No pretending he thought the word referenced cats or unusual words.
Technically “pussy” meaning cowardly comes from pusillanimous. Which is a great defense until you follow it up with “juice”.
I’m more offended that a cop calls our justice system “pussy juice”. It’s more than obvious that he hates our system. Makes me wonder why he’s even a part of it.
I would like to see a cite for that. That’s the word I use to help me remember what “pusillanimous” means, but that “pussy” in the sense of coward derives from that I do not believe is established, just coincidence.
The cite below agrees with you.
Ah, thanks! That is originally where I read the refutation of the pusillanimous->pussy etymology years back. I probably even posted it here at some point, as it feels familiar, but with middle age, my memories trend impressionistic.
I work with a lot of ex-cops at my work (most of our fraud investigators are former police) and it seems pretty universal that cops have a low opinion of the justice system.
And while I don’t agree, I understand. If a large part of your job is catching bad guys, and you see them often walking around on the street afterward (and sometimes have to arrest the same people over and over again for the same crimes) then you might get bitter about it after awhile.
Or you could get better at gathering evidence before or after arresting people. If such evidence actually exists outside the bigoted imagination of the cop.
I live in an area where a lot of cops live. And a lot more families that have cops (siblings, cousins, nephews, uncles, etc.). The cops predominately work in diverse jurisdictions and live in very non-diverse ones.
From my experience it seems like if you spend 15 minutes talking to a cop or a family member, you will get some flavor of “but THEY are all cockroaches, they just haven’t all been nailed yet” and then everyone nodding in agreement or looking sheepish.
Yeah, like I said, it seems to be pretty universal.
Except his problem is that the sentences aren’t harsh enough for those who are found guilty.
Found guilty? Not in OUR justice system. It’s all about plea deals.
