The Arizona Senate has passed a bill intended to address “anti-God, pro-Marxist ideology” by banning the use of public funds to combat climate change. The bill would also allow Arizona residents to sue any town, city, institution, or public university they believe has violated the provisions of the bill, even if they are not affiliated with it.
Look how fucking many are defending this killer’s house (LOL I forgot that even THIS video ends with the cops just not being able to take it. They really showed that petite young lady with the cardboard sign at the end! Fucking thin skinned powerdrunk assholes.)
I know there are many, many more. I’m even going to link the bad place because this sub is still the best place I know to see all the REST of the bullshit the cops got up to that year documented.
It really is. I’ll admit, this was not an issue I was strident about prior to 2020. I had a gnawing awareness of a couple specific incidents, but everything around George Floyd really opened my eyes. It felt like everyone who paid even a little bit of attention got on the same page for awhile - and then nearly everyone seemed to forget…
They voted back in all the same leadership at an election not long after. Having made that decision, I find this to be less surprising than it might have been.
There have been numerous studies debunking links between violent video games and violence. This is the 80’s Satanic Panic all over again with a different wrapper and target.
400 police failed them, not activision. Then they voted for the same leadership at the next election. It’s like everyone from the first responders onward just takes turns reacting to this shooting in head scratching ways.
Ah, I misunderstood the point you were making, I apologize for my assumptions.
Much as I hate ads (and especially targeted ads which involve datamining by corporations), I’m still not convinced this is something that can win in court, but I do see the distinction you are drawing.

With absolute sincerity my username is totally random. I wanted to pick something with zero connotations/implications (as far as I know) and that I’d not used previously.
It’s insane this shit has been going on for so long and we just never really address it…
Go watch ANY black comedian from any period of time. They’ve been telling us all along. Police just wait for everyone to move on to other things again and then it’s business as usual.
I know Dave Chappelle has got his own issues these days, but watch Chappelle’s Show sometime - a show that’s gotta be about 30 years old now. Not just the skits about police, but the throwaway lines sprinkled in just about every episode. Look for clips of RIchard Pryor on youtube… I even remember Redd Foxx getting in on it.
The cameras everywhere are the difference now. They are clearly not solving everything immediately, but at this point their ability to go back to “business as usual” is going to come to an end, and soon, just as it becomes more and more common for police lies to end up costing cities money.
What I do think we’ll get is that policing looks very different twenty years from now than it does now. Frustratingly slow, but I do believe it will happen. 🤞
So, anyone think the supposed non-fascist Republicans are gonna look back on the past few years and decide maybe this time they should do something about it before it gets out of hand?
