you mean it might not be about enforcing laws at all? Instead being a movement designed to empower oppressive systems? shocked pikachu face

Blue Live Matter has never meant anything but “black lives don’t”.

The law never had anything to do with it. It's only that, from the perspective of white nationalists, generally cops are on our team. If it's a criminal on our team vs law enforcement on their team, they'll go full-on "fuck the police" without an instant of hesitation.

As shown on Jan. 6th.

Or Ruby Ridge / Waco / Oklahoma City. Fascists will turn on a dime when it comes to loving/hating the police.

I have seen this for years in the meth head community. Whether or not they're saying "fuck the police" depends entirely on who the cops are currently arresting. Competing meth dealer? Fuck yeah, they're doing their job! One of their own? Fuck the police! A Mexican? Fuck yeah, thin blue line!
I've actually seen someone go from support to hate and back to support in the space of a single conversation.
-
Meth heads are well known for the paranoia, no surprise they turn out to have the exact same intellectual integrity as the fear-addicted bigots voting Repub in every election.

Yeah and all of the fuck law enforcement crowd (myself included) is gonna begrudgingly vote for her.
-
Yeah ACAB for life but I hate fascists more.
-
I hate to break it to you... but Harris is schooled in the nuts and bolts of fascism - unlike Trump, who is merely good at cosplaying as a fascist.
I'm not telling you not to vote for her - you don't really have a choice - but know that everything the libs do at this point is just going to empower the fascists more. It's been a positive feedback loop for a while now.
-
at least she has redeeming qualities, even in the law enforcement front. she supported budget cuts for LAPD for example.

They don't believe the things they support, it's all virtue signaling. Just like belief in the Bible
-
Some of those that work forces…

The police is a fascist institution - so it shouldn't be surprising that they will back someone who is better at regurgitating (and embodying) the fascist dog-whistles fascists wants to hear.
Besides, the term "felon" means absolutely nothing when it is used in connection to a rich white guy - this should also not be surprising in a fundamentally white supremacist society that pathologically worships and fetishizes capitalism.
-
I usually do not save images but I gotta save this. Thank you. 😄

Surprising exactly nobody

Kamala is a cop of convenience. She's a cop when we're talking about trump being a felon. But she's totally not a cop when we start talking about her record of collaboration with the prison industrial complex.
-
Not me, totally a cop in that case too. It's a very unpopular topic though, I've noticed. I'm still going to vote for her though, because the US presidential election still mostly comes down to the two options South Park told us it did all those years ago...

Thats what shocks me about the trump fanbase, they are always able to justify his hideous nature in a way democrats cant match.
