  • Think the following question over yourself. Don’t bother answering it here.

    As the enforcer of the law, how many times have you casually broken the law and felt ok doing it? How many times have you seen a fellow police officer break the law and failed to hold them accountable or even helped them cover it up? In your experience, these events may have only involved minor crimes - not murder or rape or anything - but you almost certainly still operated in an environment of willingness to break the law and fraternal duty to protect your colleagues at any cost. The same situation is too common with serious crimes, as we see in the news on a regular basis.

    Good cops don’t help cover up the crimes of bad cops.

  • Once police throwing out/locking up the bad ones starts to become the norm, instead of circling the wagons and covering up each others’ crimes, we’ll start to see that distinction. In our universe in the present, however, the police, their unions, the prosecutors, and the judges all act almost in lockstep to prevent police from ever being accountable for any of their actions in almost all situations. Thus ACAB.

  • This really is the right answer, as much as I despise what Israel is doing.

    The Olympics should be about increasing non-hostile relations between people of the world and I don’t think anyone should be excluded.

    Complicating this stance though is the compulsory military service that means that the attending athletes are associated with the military and the ongoing atrocities.

  • With even email clients and web browsers running arbitrary and untrusted remote code on a regular basis, that model needs serious reconsideration.

  • You clearly didn’t read what I wrote, but you sure took the time to start talking some more.

    The only reason to blindly insist on Biden as the only possible nominee, a bad-mouth someone who discusses an alternative approach, is if you want Trump to win.

  • The only reason to vote for Biden at this point is anti-Trump and Blue No Matter Who. Those still apply to anyone else that the DNC puts forward, as a base score, with any actual merits, charisma, or vigor adding to that. This should have been an easy decision six months ago and doing-nothing-and-hoping-for-the-best doesn’t seem to be making the prospects any better.
