Turns out when you make a 100 million active player target it doesn’t get hit and they use it as an excuse to fire you. GG.

I wouldn’t work as a cop in this country without a gun.

99% of police work does not require a gun. You don’t need a gun to sit on an overpass radaring cars, to show up 8 hours late to a burglary to take a note about what items were stolen to then immediately lose it, to harass homeowners about their lawn or the volume knob position in their stereo, to write a ticket and leave it on someone’s parked car… Nothing of that vein requires a gun, and every time guns are added to that mix, someone fucking dies. The cops responded to a kid having an autistic meltdown with a small knife on his hands on his family’s lawn, and the cops literally dumped 3 mags into him FROM OVER A FENCE HE COULDN’T JUMP CAUSE HE WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR. European countries DO have a subsect of police that is heavily armed AND HEAVILY TRAINED to deal with actual shooting incidents, but they’re only called when absolutely necessary.

Violence and physical power trump everything else, which is why we need people who are allowed to use force on our behalf so that we can run our societies based on rules and not who is the best at violence.

No. You build a better society through cooperation. This is literally about making the state the best at violence so everyone complies. Hard fucking pass, lib.

“Abolish the police” is essentially shorthand for ending the current institution. Community policing IS the ideal goal.

Cops kill people directly, doctors usually don’t. That’s the difference. My comparison between cops and mass shooters was about how many people they kill directly. Doctors don’t usually murder people.

Lots of people want medical practice to be changed. If you’re fat, a woman, a POC, a trans person, or neurodivergent, you’d know why a lot of those people just don’t fucking trust doctors at all.

A straight up lie.

Look up Tamir Rice.

Virtually all societies have improved their police over the short and long term.

Rread this article about how the police works internally by an ex-officer. There is nothing that can be done at this point to reform the American police other than a complete do-over.

implying cops are more deadly than mass shooters, context is important.

Context doesn’t bring dead people back to life. Reducing higher numbers of dead to a “per capita” statistic is straight up lying to dismiss the pain of communities destroyed by police violence.

Put a kid in front of a cop, they’ll shoot them 0.00001% of the time

Unless they’re black and holding something, on which case it becomes 100%.

makes people interested in police reform look ridiculous.

You cannot reform the police. If you heard what they say about civilians in a daily basis you’d be demanding all of their heads on pikes like everyone who wants ICE to be abolished and every agent trialed for crimes against humanity.

What I meant with that is that all the gun control push to ban AR-15s because they’re used in active shooter incidents from liberals is bullshit because there is a much bigger problem of police violence in America that suburban liberals refuse to address because they benefit from it.

Also, you posting an AI overview immediately makes me think you’re posting in bad faith.

This is about both of those as a collective, not per capita. The context is pretty clear here.

Not at all. This article with a spreadsheet by Mother Jones show that there’s been about 1128 mass shooting deaths in the US since 1982, using active shooter incident data. And this paper by The Lancer estimates about 30800 deaths by the police since 1982 until 2019. Adding the data from Wikipedia for police killings from the last few years (2019-2026) gives us about 38028 people killed by the American police since 1982, so I was a little off. Even so, taking all that into account, police in america is 33 times deadlier than mass shooters.

Wake up to reality, kid. Your pigs are worse than people who go to schools to kill children because they’re omegasuicidal.

Let’s get some stats, shall we?

Since 1982, in the US, about 1130 people have died from mass shootings.

American police in that same amount of time has killed over 38000 people.

The problem has never been AR-15s, or the lack of background checks, or anything of the sort. It’s always been the pigs. But liberal suburbans enjoy the benefits of the pigs protecting their property while they kill poorer people, so telling them this makes them stare blankly, or they double down and continue to whine about weapons of war, to which I say: If you’re so concerned with weapons of war being in the streets, why does every law banning AR-15s add exemptions to the police?

Marathon is the complete opposite of ARC Raiders in the fact that it essentially forces/encourages you to fight. I give it like 2 months before all the casuals go back to ARC because of spawn rushers (they were already doing that during the server slam). And while Delta Force Operations kinda behaves similarly, they do have some ways to reign in the sweats by having multiple maps, multiple difficulties with gear caps, and a ton of other things that prevent bad players from getting farmed 24/7.

Stoat it is lol (https://stoat.chat/)

You did not watch any of the movies if that’s your takeway. Iron Man 1 has Tony stop selling weapons, investing all of his money into clean energy, solving every war in the Middle East, and he kills a rich corrupt CEO.

Are we forgetting Stane was orchestrating the whole thing? Like, the entire movie is him just scheming to take over Stark Industries because he wants to continue selling weapons. I wouldn’t put it past him to essentially strongarm or manipulate the other stockholders into locking Stark out, especially given that the entire movie sets him up as someone who can and WILL use violence to get what he wants.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if he essentially threatened the other shareholders into locking Tony out, perhaps not directly though.

Because he’s busy building Iron Man armors and locked on his basement/garage and not doing anything CEO related?

Hey! Stop that! You’re destroying my revolutionary sentiment against fictional superheroes!!

The computer just trembles at the IT dude’s aura and does what it’s supposed to do because they know what they do to printers that step out of line.

…the class is supposed to be for regular citizens.
