Another "I can't breath" death: Police Reform & Protests in the USA

[Elegiac]

Why wouldn't you chime in on a subject you know nothing about?

"HERP DERP WHO HAS TIME TO STUDY EVERYTHING ABOUT HOSPITALS?!"

I mean, seriously, if someone is going to say something phenomenally stupid and uninformed about a subject you can expect them to be schooled on it.

They were right about this thread being good for a few laughs, but it's primarily a function of the pro-police crowd acting like absolute clowns and then getting called out on such.

Lul.

You are a joke.

[postman1782]

None of you know.

I will defer to people that do, like Elegiac, and statistics.

[Benggaul]

None of you know.

Except those of us who actually worked in hospitals. Maybe if you didn't and you're just here to troll you should stay out of this particular aspect of the conversation.

[Edge-]

Yes, I mean who DOESN'T spend their free time in local hospitals studying the activities of their security? What'r you uninformed or something?

I don't. But like, some of us have family members who have been in the hospital frequently or for long periods of time. You kinda get used to some of the hospital shit when you're spending a chunk of your time supporting family recovering from illness/surgeries.

Not sure why such a concept would be inconceivable to someone.

[muto]

In most hospitals, actually. Yes, they have security, but they also have mental health professionals that respond to people, you know, having a mental health crisis.

When was the last time you spent any time in a hospital?

Oh it’s been a while but I can’t imagine things have changed any. I was in a mental hospital for about a week when I was like 16 (10+years ago) cause I had a breakdown. It was the police that restrained me and took me there and there was a police officer in the room whenever I met with the shrink.

Working in a hospital means shit. You can still have a garbage perspective. Not to mention your entire argument was based around a strawman.

[Elegiac]

You are a joke.

Not as much of a joke as police de-escalation training, though.

Sounds like you just made up a bunch of bullshit because you don't actually have an argument and are just here to troll. You're done.

That's a bad thing. You do get how that's a bad thing, right?

[Dormie]

How typically bigoted of you.

[Benggaul]

That's a bad thing. You do get how that's a bad thing, right?

It also explains so much.

[Felya]

I whine about police because that's what the media told me to do.

How old are you?

[Dormie]

It also explains so much.

Ironically, it's where you people belong.

[Felya]

Alanis, who is bigoted now?

[postman1782]

Just report Dormie and ignore.

[Dormie]

It's adorable how the ideologues think they're real people.

[Elegiac]

How typically bigoted of you.

I'm not entirely sure how it's bigoted to point out that a minor who is going through a mental health crisis being arrested and treated like a criminal during their recovery is a bad thing.

[Felya]

It's adorable how the ideologues think they're real people.

It’s funnier when seeing someone attack the media, in defense of the government. Even funnier, is to hear someone claim this is somehow new. I’m sorry, when Rodney King riots happened, we had an idiot of a president in Bush, but he was still a million times smarter than Trump. The riots ended fairly quick... no blaming the media... just accountability and leadership. Something if your are too young to remember, is just an example of the deterioration of social norms under Trump.

Being white has its advantages, I suppose.
