What if they want to finally become literate?

pythonoob,

Then they wouldn’t be a cop?

@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Eh. There are times when a person in a uniform with some degree of authority on campus would be legitimately helpful, but they’re never around for those moments.

UT campus rape was an epidemic when I was in school, back in the mid-'00s, and the police were notorious for just looking the other way.

pythonoob,

That’s terrible. Yeah my comment sounds like an absolute. I concede your point

ZK686,

Neither does antisemitism…but, here we are…

Glytch,

Israel doesn’t represent all Jewish people, bigot.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

Wait? Which side are we calling snowflakes? Can’t keep track.

DAMunzy,

Show us the anti-jew rhetoric and we’ll denounce it.

BTW, Palestinians are semitic.

ZK686,

DAMunzy,

First, he was wrong for saying that. Second, he apologized. Was it because he was caught. No idea, good chance of that but 🤷.

More importantly, Zionist =/= Jews. There are plenty of Jews that are anti-Zionist. Some well known Jews including Noam Chomsky who has used the phrase “Judeo-Nazi tendencies” of the Israeli state. There is nothing wrong with being anti-Zionist.

Natanael,

Are you saying jews for peace are also antisemitic?

MacDangus,

Are you saying Black Voices for Trump are not racist?

Thrashy,
@Thrashy@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, yes, because that one ex-cultist that showed up in the background of every Trump Rally is totally the same thing as Jewish people who don’t like it when they’re told they are obligated by their genetics to support an apartheid state that thinks it’s OK to bomb 100 innocent bystanders to kill one militant.

Natanael, (edited )

Black voices for Trump are white people and paid black actors. The white people are racist, the black people probably doesn’t even want to be there but need the money

TheLadyAugust,

Isn’t this a protest against genocide? Did you see somewhere that protest organizers were advocating for antisemitism? Could you link that for us? That would be very helpful context. Thanks

ZK686,

Genocide? Genocide is not happening in Palestine. The Hamas are doing exactly what they wanted, gain sympathy from gullible people to make them look like the victims. Hamas and Palestine are one, whether you want to hear it or not. they’re in power because of the overwhelming majority of Palestinians support them. Israel is trying to only target Hamas and their military, but it’s very difficult when Hamas uses the Palestine people as human shields and hides in their homes…

Natanael,

Olgratin_Magmatoe,
gearheart,

So what happened with state law protecting speech activity on this campus?.…

ZK686,

Have you not been paying attention to the news? The protests are literally disrupting normal kids from just wanting to go to school. USC cancelled graduation because of all this shit…at least Texas is nipping it before it causes any problems.

scottywh,

God damn you’re a fucking moron.

Glytch,

You seem like you would know the answer to this: which tastes better leather or rubber?

Osito,

Some people like their boots fried some like em grilled

Natanael,

The police and admin are disrupting normal kids wanting to go to school and also wanting to see other kids be allowed to go to school without being bombed

zalgotext,

Yeah, obviously the protesters should be off in a corner where they aren’t a nuisance or disturbance to anyone. I’m sure their protest would still be just as effective 🙄

EvilEyedPanda,

Remember Kent State in 1970. The police are class traitors.

AutistoMephisto,
@AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world avatar

This is the same state which said it was perfectly legal for them to seize border checkpoints from the federal government. They seem to be making “states rights” arguments all over the place. So, apparently we’re sliding backwards.

FMT99,

Change the world kids! No, not like that!

ZK686,

So, are you okay with these “kids” (adults really, but whatever) disrupting campuses all over the country for Palestine? I mean, WTF? Lol…

Glytch,

Yep. Are you okay with cops pulling another Kent State?

Kalysta,

Yes.

Next question?

frostysauce,

Yes.

Zehzin,
@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

The only thing they did wrong is not disrupting streets also.

ZK686,

Can’t win in the United States…people are complaining that the cops aren’t doing shit about all these protests, and then when they do, people STILL complain. Whatever…

yuri,

yeah bud, because it’s different people complaining. it’s a country with a lot of people who all have a lot of differing opinions. most places work like that actually.

scottywh,

Only dumbass shitbag fascists are complaining that “the cops aren’t doing shit about all these protests”.

So, there’s that …

Of the people I personally know, it’s pretty much universally agreed there was no need to do anything about anything.

Texas University isn’t a place.

JasonDJ,

Sure it is. It’s where all the smartest Texans go to further their education.

Up north we just call it “middle school”, though.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Can someone OOTL this for me? What’s going on in Texas?

theparadox,

More arrests of college students walking out of class and peacefully protesting the situation in Gaza. This time UT Austin.

okamiueru,

What do they need the riot police for?

graymess,

Great question.

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar
Aceticon,

Because the American Power Elites believe Might Makes Right and the riot police are their most willful and most violent goons.

Natanael,

They don’t, they just want to scare the kids into but expressing ideas they don’t like. Which is very illegal but they don’t care

Passerby6497,

Violently suppressing peaceful protestors is my guess.

frunch,

To make it look like the protestors are violent. They wouldn’t call in those troops if it weren’t for those savage antisemitic protestors, right?!?

RizzRustbolt,

Or if a bunch of school students are about to be killed and they need a group of nutsacks to stand around and do nothing.

These are the same dorks from Uvalde.

scoobford,

Depending on your biases, either to try and maintain order to prevent it from becoming a riot, or to intimidate and assault protestors.

Given the history of police and protesting college kids, it’s probably supposed to be mostly an intimidation thing.

jkrtn,

Spraying chemicals directly in the faces of nonviolent students and then beating the shit out of them with batons.

DerArzt,

And then trying to wipe it off the internet.

PrincessLeiasCat,

Wait - that meme cop at UC Davis or wherever some years ago with the pepper spray? They tried to scrub that?

Or a different one? Because that meme was everywhere - good luck with that one.

troglodytis,

They tried to scrub that. Silly humans

masquenox,

It’s hard to crack down on dissent without them.

melpomenesclevage, (edited )

Terrorism. Literally all riot police ever do.

Linkerbaan, (edited )
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

Fun fact: 91 of these DPS riot cops stood outside the Uvalde Texas elementary school shooting.

DPS was one of various local and state law enforcement agencies that responded to the Robb Elementary shooting on May 24, 2022. Ninety-one DPS personnel were at the school when law enforcement waited over an hour before breaching the classroom where the gunman was.

Video: University of Texas protestors chant Who Failed Uvalde? DPS!

Delusional,

Ah so if anyone with a gun showed up, they’d all run away.

phoenixz,

Bingo

melpomenesclevage,

You could just tell them there’s someone with a gun on the next property over, and they should probably run away.

myusernameis,

But they look so strong and brave standing there waiting to beat up unarmed people protesting genocide!!

hactar42,

Whenever I see things like this I think back to something Lewis Black once said back during the Occupy Wall Street protests. They had him on ABC or one of the major news stations and asked him what he thought about it. His answer was along the lines of, “When were the college kids ever wrong?”

ZK686,

Um, now? I mean, these “protestors” aren’t even remotely interested in what’s REALLY going on with the Israel/Palestine situation…they just want to protest from the comforts of their home here in the United States.

mlg,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Lol you want them to make an insurgency group and get labeled enemies of the state?

This exact same stuff happened during Vietnam, including stupid comments like yours.

JasonDJ,

Ahh those were the good ol’ days of Lemmy…back in 'nam.

Kalysta,

The united states is the reason israel even can afford a military. Protesting putting their war on our credit card should be done at home.

Though they could also all pile into DC and shut the city down. Would you rather that happen? You know what, that’d likely work better!

mojorizer,

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Pro Palestinian protests are getting quashed with a complete violation of freedom of assembly

MonkderDritte, (edited )

Uncle sam says nothing? You still have amendments and so on, right?

jkrtn,

The Amendment still exists but someone gave Clarence Thomas an RV so it isn’t in force at the moment.

MonkderDritte, (edited )

RV?

Sorry for duplicates, server had a stroke.

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Those amendments are very selectively applied when it comes to any grassroots action that isn’t fully right-wing. There is essentially no protection to speak against the state if they want to target you.

Kalysta,

May the first amendment lawsuits be plentiful and crush the fascists.

Captain_Buddha,

People protesting another war, and they feel more aggression is the right answer.

Superfool,

Riot police is what you get when parents don’t show their children love.

melpomenesclevage,

So you’re saying there’s no collateral damage if they go away?

Captain_Buddha,

Oh come now… there’s a very real chance their parents loved them, and they still became assholes.

Zink,

Eh, a lot of people are fucking terrible at showing love, even to the ones they actually do love.

Either that or they just have their priorities mixed up. I wonder how many of them had attentive parents, but they thought doing a good job as a parent meant raising sons to be aggressive tough guys.

Masterblaster420,

it’s indoctrination, which is strong in rural texas. the problem cannot be solved without a complete overhaul of the social landscape of america. conservatives need reeducation camps.

paradiso,

Re-education camps? Hahahaha you’re actually insane.

Masterblaster420,

insanity is doing nothing while sociopaths destroy the last vestiges of humanity.

paradiso,

Don’t you think the concept of re-education camps is a bit sociopathic? Genuine question.

Masterblaster420,

yes i do but the ends justify the means

_lilith,

Should we beat and arrest the students or maybe sever ties with a nation committing war crimes? Better get those students and arrest record, looks good on job interviews.

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Vast majority of protesters arrested don’t end up with any charges or a record, the police know this, but they still get their mugshot taken which gets posted online by right-wingers, doxxing them to potential political violence.

Masterblaster420,

which is why we should do the same thing to conservatives. don’t get bullied. bully back.

@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Last I was on Twitter a couple years ago there were antifascist pages that did that, the ones I followed were banned while the fascist ‘antifa watch’ pages I’ve seen are promoted. But I agree, Twitter won’t work for it anymore but we should have some kind of fascist watchlist.

I’ve thought about the deck of cards of terror suspects the US had, with higher members of Al Qaeda or whatever, we should have that for the top fascist politicians and war mongers. It should be well known the names and faces of the people pushing us off the cliff.

RizzRustbolt,

Ooo… a Tarot deck of conservative facists.

melpomenesclevage,

I mean, fuck social media, just do it somewhere?

Masterblaster420,

it’s a war. you get it.

melpomenesclevage,

So the police are violent. Hope somebody starts taking pot shots when they line up all convenient like this.

C’mon, be the mirror universe cool Texas we know you can be.
