  • Ironic that just yesterday I was getting blocked on youtube telling me that adblocking was illegal/against tos/whatever and that if i didnt want Ads I could subscribe to Youtube Premium… only now to announce ads on premium.

    What a fucking shithole company.

    edit

    and they continue to take no accountability for failing to police their own ads, thus creating the essential need for adblocking services in the first place.

    WE WOULDNT BE BLOCKING ADS IF YOU REGULATED ADVERTISERS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO REGULATE VIEWERS.




  • I agree with you.

    The police, as an institution, should be abolished.

    And a new institution put it its place.

    And, off the top of my head, just a few things it should do differently is in no particular order

    Citizen Oversight boards made up of 7 educated citizens (with no professional or familiar connection to law enforcement), chosen at random, to serve 3 month tours, with 3 local lawyers, also selected at random, and in good standing, to advise on the legal side of things but with no vote themselves. (Cause sometimes just cause its not technically illegal doesnt mean its not horrific and awful and deserving of punishment/reprimand)

    national black list, so cops that do bad cant just jump ship to the next jurisdiction over.

    Liability insurance, that is paid for by the replacement organization, out of their wages, with no payout caps (because fuck being permanently crippled due to abuse and only getting 30k)

    No qualified immunity.

    must live in the communities they serve.

    no training them to think or behave like their the last surviving member of a super elite commando unit behind enemy lines, and that everyone is their potential enemy.

    training must take longer than it takes to become a beautician, including extensive learning of not just what the laws are, but what is expected of them as a servant of the public, behavior and atittude wise.

    regular refresher courses, at least 3 months long, every 2 years, to maintain, update, and verify their knowledge of the law and the duty they choose to take up, failing this course is a firable offense.

    Then put all the money you save from all of this, and put into social needs and improvements… Which will reduce crime more than putting a bunch of paramilitary wannabe pretenders on the street.

    edit

    Oh, and one last one… mandatory +20 years to any conviction, for betrayal of the public good and public trust.












  • The “good” cops that you are talking about are just the ones that don’t actively molest, rape, and murder people… but still turn a blind eye and give stalwart defense to those that do.

    Actual, legitimate good cops don’t stay cops for very long before being run out or their deaths arranged (Just look at Frank Serpico. who still gets death threats and harassment to this day). because actual good cops don’t turn a blind eye to the violence or corruption.

    And a cop that shakes my hand and treats me with respect, but will ignore and lie to defend his partners beating me and shooting me for no reason, is not in any way a good cop.
