roguetrick,

What did they charge him with? It’s not theft without the intent to permanently deprive and assault would be a stretch. Interfering?

KillingTimeItself,

man those “class 3” or whatever the fuck called retention holders seem to be working really well…

I wonder if the police know how to use them lmao.

wildcardology,

Much easier to pull the gun and shoot somebody.

Fedizen,

he did nothing wrong

tegs_terry,

No journal would write ‘off of’ in a headline

Halosheep,

Why not?

dejected_warp_core,

It’s bad grammar. “from” says the same thing in fewer words, which is generally how news headlines are structured.

A tighter headline would be:

Chicago man used grabber toy to steal police firearms, arrested

Sabre363,

But that headline is far less amusing to read

Flax_vert,

Never seen a British tabloid?

tegs_terry,

Wrong preposition and ‘of’ doesn’t follow ‘off’.

Darthjaffacake,

Nah it makes sense

tegs_terry,

Nah, and certainly not for a news headline

platypus_plumba,

And even worse “Off of Officers”. That just sounds ridiculous.

supersquirrel,

Wow, this is such a biased take ughhh, let me rewrite this in proper newspeak.

“Last saturday an officers gun ejected from their holster after making contact with a dino toy grabber, the man holding the dino toy grabber retracted their arm from the situation and the firearm was taken along with the toy grabber. The man holding the dino toy testified in court the other day that he felt he had no other choice but to retract the dino grabber once the situation escalated from a playful dino bite to a potential non-armed dino bite attack and the firearm was unfortunately stuck in the jaws of the toy dino grabber which caused it to also be retracted. The police officer was not questioned for comment and had $500 dollars in their wallet at the time which was confiscated by local anarchists who believed the money was most certainly involved in some kind of illegal crimes at some point (a practice that surely would not be legal in a civilized society).”

MadBob,

$500 dollars

“Five-hundred-dollar dollars”

supersquirrel,

You got me, I have a mediocre command of the english language and I feel well about it.

Fedizen,

its 500 double dollars

What type of holsters are these jokers using? Any normal cop holster should have a 2 or 3 distinct hand motions to unholster their gun. That means pushing it down and twisting or something to that effect. You shouldn’t be able to just lift a cops gun out of his holster, for good reason.

They gotta have easily accessible in case they need to shoot a 14 year old

sugar_in_your_tea,

Especially if that 14 yo is black.

FluffyPotato,

Aren’t American cops notoriously dumb? What if they couldn’t get the holster open normally so they got an easier one. I choose to believe that.

OneWomanCreamTeam,

They are pretty dumb, but they also get rock fucking hard for their equipment. Honestly seems pretty unlikely.

Fake story.

Ironfist,

pro gun nuts hate this simple trick!

garbagebagel,

Had to keep rereading because my brain kept seeing “toy dildo grabber”

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I mean, you could probably use it for that, too.

Annnnnnnnd…it’s fake.

Original mugshot source.

(I’m aware I’m fact checking a shitpost, but wow people just instantly believe shitposts, so here we are.)

joe_cool,

Darnold told deputies that he walked into the convenience store and bought cigarettes. When he walked out, Aryafar asked him for a “smoke.” Darnold offered him a cigarette, but Aryafar allegedly wanted weed.

When he said he didn’t have any to sell, the two said expletives to one another and moved on.
Moments later, Amir allegedly walked toward the car Dardnold was in. He got out of the vehicle, punched Aryafar once, which knocked him down, and then got back in the car with his girlfriend and drove off.

That story of Dar(d)nold and Ayafar has somehow more typos than the shitpost. At least it isn’t AI.

chicken,

It is a deliberately deceptive shitpost, most of the humor is based on the assumption the article is real.

Anticorp,

Gosh dang it! Stop stealing our dreams!

Edit: I just clicked the link. Damn, man. Two people’s lives destroyed in an instant. How hard does this eyebrow dude hit? Is he a professional boxer or something?

Cypher,

It’s easier than you think. Most often it’s when they fall and hit their head on the ground after being knocked out.

Anticorp,

Some drunk dude wanted to fight me at a nightclub once so I went outside to smoke a cigarette and give him some space. He followed me outside and swung on me. I just dodged his drunk-ass hook, and he spun himself all the way around, lost his balance, and fell. When he fell his head hit a brick planter, and the sound it made was disturbing. I do not think he was okay. But I didn’t stick around to find out. I didn’t even touch him, so I just went back inside. I saw an ambulance out there some time later, and I’m assuming it was for Mr. Drunk boxer guy. He kicked his own ass.

VicksVaporBBQrub,

There’s an entire industrial position waiting for this guy’s unique skill set. Heavy lift manipulator\grabbers!

Nopenopenopenope,

For those that care, this (while funny in concept) is fake.

Here’s where this man’s photo is from:

lawandcrime.com/…/the-guy-got-pretty-f-ed-up-7-11…

brown567,

Oof

some_guy,

The arched eyebrow tells me he plans to do it again.

“Oh, you think I’ll stop?

setsneedtofeed,
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

It’s actually the face of a man who got in a fight outside of a 7-11 that lead to a death. A real folk hero.

some_guy,

Oh shit. I like him a lot less, now. Not that I liked him before, but it’s less now.

Gullible,
Gork,

repeatedly? lol what

ID411, (edited )

You get better at it with practice . Word is he has 2000 stuffed dolphin plushies, won from the fair ground grab machines.
