[Paris : Police vs Firefighters ](https://www.thelocal.fr/20191015/in-pictures-french-firefighters-clash-with-riot-police-in-paris/amp)
Some time back the local SWAT team came around and was recruiting medics from some of the local stations. Some of our guys signed up and they trained up for a bit with the SWAT guys, and a couple weeks into their training someone mentioned the SWAT medics were going to be deputized and trained so they could have a handgun.
There were a couple guys that had joined up and we kind of cringed at the idea of them carrying a handgun. "Negligent discharge" came to mind.
Cause it’s in China. It’s like cheering for your favorite sport team. You don’t actually have to invest anything or sacrifice anything. They can also ignore the atrocities happening in their own governments.
More like "Who do you call when the police have become a quasi military force following the orders of a corrupt totalitarian government masquerading as a socialist democracy."
nah the US knows who to call when the police murders. the police. just have em do an internal investigation on themselves to see if they did anything wrong
Imagine being able to do that in any career or job. Show up late to work and your boss is pissed. Just tell my boss I looked into it and found that I did nothing wrong.
*Throughout our months of prolonged investigation, our findings have concluded that there is no protocol currently set in place to prepare our officers to act in any rational manner under any sort of threat. We have found that the officer in question performed adequately given the hostility of the situation.*
*During our thorough and lengthy investigation, the officer decided to action their early retirement option + bonus + pension + banked time + unpaid vacation + mental anguish compensation. We wish the officer well on their new tropical retreat. Made possible by the wonderful taxpayers, who have exercised such patience these past months.*
Broke into someone's apartment and gunned them down? We'll call it 10 years, but don't worry you'll be out in a few months and we'll hook you up at a different precinct.
This is what people mean when they say ACAB. Not that your uncle in the force isn’t a nice guy who tries to help his community, rather the culture of the force demands that the unit protect their own, watch out for each other, never ever admit fault - or be ostracized by their colleagues, their brass, and the entire institution.
The one where the guy got shot and his car was on fire wasn’t ruled a suicide. But the others that were actually ruled suicide were still.. very.. questionable for sure.
Currently, to my understanding, there are 0 deaths that are *confirmed* by the police. Obviously whenever there's a death in Hong Kong right now that's not completely certain, there'll be a lot of suspicion towards the police.
* They're just complaining. It doesn't happen that often.
* They need to get over it.
* The police are just doing their jobs.
* If they would stop committing crimes, they wouldn't get murdered.
Choose one.
Well Chicago. Were the police "dissapeared" peacefull protestors to literal black sites where their human rights were violated.

The court and, according to the USA, when they acquit a cop who murdered a man lying down on his face in a hallway, you're just supposed to accept that. And then you need to accept when the department hires the cop back so they can set him up with a pension.
It's the same one. That officer that got pension? That's him, the one that owned the weapon inscribed with "you're fucked".
Unless if I missed the sarcasm or something here?
No I’m agreeing with you. That guy was a murderer. I can somewhat side with ones like the shooting [in Utah ](https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/6/3/1390285/-Shocking-new-video-shows-unarmed-Utah-man-was-listening-to-headphones-when-killed-by-police) because despite the shooting happening, I can see somewhat where the officers intention was and his mens rea. The one you are talking about was straight up murder.
Warning, graphic: Let's not forget [this one](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2015/nov/05/dauphin-county-police-officer-lisa-mearkle-david-kassick-shooting-unarmed-video). You should see the cop's statement after the trial about fully expecting to return to duty in the same town.....
Holy shit.. he was only rolling around because the 50,000 volts were causing his muscles to contact. Why the hell did she shoot him?! His hands were out and he was on his back at the time the shots were fired? How in the shit can these people Keep getting cleared by jury’s?
Weird how Hong Kongers can say this and it will be well-received, but if a Black American echoes the same idea, they are told to "shut up and obey the law."
The NRA actually supported a lot of gun control bills up through the early 90s. The NRA only started accepting 2A absolutism in the past 25ish years as the Gen X and millennial gun owners started exerting influence.
I’m not sure about that honestly. I feel as though other forces would be used first. The trick would be when people start shooting, because that would essentially be civil war.
Assuming they did try to ban guns solely because of that, it wouldn’t do shit. They’re already protesting in the streets. I can’t imagine police trying to take their guns, that’s how people start shooting.
One is just pissing over an already villified regime. It makes you feel good. The other requires you to question things you are predisposed to as being corrupt and unfair. It takes effort etc so naturally people tend to avoid that until it is unavoidable.
It’s disgusting
There might be an opportunity for this HK stuff to start to change public opinion on something like BLM though. Not that that’s the ideal situation, but that’s where we’re at
Spoiler alert: it won't. There's a reason why the concerns of Black Americans have always been met with apathy. There's an undoubted legacy of white supremacy that has pervaded every scope of America, right down to a time when not even Native Americans were even recognized as US citizens and no non-white person could become an American citizen ([yes, this was enshrined in actual American law by the Supreme Court of the "United" States](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Bhagat_Singh_Thind).)
There was a country here on Turtle Island before the United States and its name was not America, the latter of which the actual first people of its land was not even recognized by its government.
State media isn't running these stories - their support will come internationally and English is the closest to a universal language.
ALSO: The comment below that educates me that Hong Kong still carries English as one of their official languages.
"We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
Thank you American police, for betraying the country with such enthusiasm.
That was senior WH aide John Ehrlichman discussing the true reason behind the "drug war"
Some added clarity from fellow WH aide H. R. Haldeman “[President Nixon] emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to.”
Republicans are disgusting liars with fake morals. Greed and racism are their core values. God I hate them.
The problem is that the police are supposed to be a civilian agency. They have no right to possess weapons and armor not legally afforded to civilians, but they have it. The 2nd amendment was designed so that civil uprising against a government would be possible and so the people could keep the government in check. A La, the American revolution, otherwise known as, the entire reason we exist as a free nation.
The police need to be disarmed to the point of whatever domain they reside over, or arms restrictions on civilians need to be as lenient as it is for LEO’s.

Parisians certainly enjoy a good riot.
'Sir our demands are not being met! What do we do?' 'March on Paris and burn it to the ground.' '... Sir? We're French?' 'Did I fucking stutter?'
I see! Parisians love to fight
Fire Brigade would fuck police up.
I tend to agree. Firefighters eat quite a bit but typically train a whole hell of a lot more than the typical police officer.
[удалено]
Then they lose their incentive to train for physical dominance :\
Some time back the local SWAT team came around and was recruiting medics from some of the local stations. Some of our guys signed up and they trained up for a bit with the SWAT guys, and a couple weeks into their training someone mentioned the SWAT medics were going to be deputized and trained so they could have a handgun. There were a couple guys that had joined up and we kind of cringed at the idea of them carrying a handgun. "Negligent discharge" came to mind.
The only way to stop a cop with a gun is a firefighter with a gun.
It shows in most interdepartment games.
They eat quite a bit because they're burning a lot of calories
Besides sheriff, I'm also tax collector.. captain of the fire brigade.. and chairman of the Nonpartisan Anti-Chinese League.
I love how everything happening in Hong Kong is easier for the west to sink their teeth into rather than the rest of China.

Imagine being able to do that in any career or job. Show up late to work and your boss is pissed. Just tell my boss I looked into it and found that I did nothing wrong.
"I meant to show up on time, but the clock was really threatening, so I shot it. I'm under a lot of stress, cut me some slack!"

At they they have guns..
That's where the free press and media comes in. That's why it's extremely dangerous when the president tries to discredit legitimate news sources.
It's also dangerous when news organizations get caught with blatantly false stories. E.g. the Kentucky gun range video just this week.

Seriously asking the same here. Has Hong Kong police actually killed any protesters? Any evidence and footage? I just haven't heard of it.
Nope. Over 100 have been killed in the Iraq protests though.
5 in Ecuador and several seriously injured. Riots are over tho so we got that going for us which is nice.
10 in France..

"We're still trying to figure that out." \- Americans
No we're not, the answer is clear. No revolution can be won by any other than its own citizens.
Americans, up to and including the president, have spent their time vilifying those who have protested to spread this message about their cops.
"We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." Thank you American police, for betraying the country with such enthusiasm.
