I’m sure you read through those cases. I added a couple more in my comment above. What, in those cases didn’t answer the question? It’s quite clear to me…

In most circumstances, police officers do not owe a personal duty to protect specific individuals from harm. The dominant principle comes from the U.S. Supreme Court decision in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services (1989)

Also see: Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005) Warren v. District of Columbia (1981) Linda R.S. v. Richard D. (1973)

As you can see from reading through the cases mentioned above, the law doesn’t require police to protect you or even to enforce the law. Combine this with precedent set by police unions and qualified immunity.

First line of the article says he is supposed to protect New Yorkers. That is not true. Police have successfully lobbied for decades and have absolutely no mandate to protect anyone but themselves. They loudly and clearly stated that their job specifically exists to enforce the status quo and to bulldoze through anyone in the way. They don’t want to help anyone. They don’t want to protect anyone. It’s in their job description and their training not to.

Yeah it’s time. Nova was great but now it’s fully enshitified. I went with Niagara. There’s a short learning period, less than a week for me to feel comfortable, but I love it. Very simple and clean.

Because the headline is not making that comparison?

Propublica still has journalistic integrity. Unfortunately it’s rare lately.

I hope this defines them for the rest of their lives.

Hard not to know when he was one of the people raping them

Well at least you understand and acknowledge that being a Christian Conservative is bad and that it’s an insult to be called such

…

Good for you! Why demonize people who are though?

Lemmy.ml users also believe this but it’s actually because they’re the same

You’re projecting soooo hard right now lol. Thought you were just gonna call it stupid and move on though. Guess you need more cope.

I’ll take your advice though. Another .ml GOP asset blocked. Lucky me!

Absolute alpha tough guy here

Just like you did when you passively voted for Trump and your local GOP representatives. What a surprise!

Yeah this seems to not be about Kirk at all. They’re upset that he pointed out that it’s all a distraction from the Trump/Epstein list.

Great, now spend this righteous energy fighting against the current administration. No? Just more posts about how Gavin Newsom is bad for trying to move the needle while continuing to ignore the actual fascists that you explicitly cheered for 9 months ago? Very fucking interesting.

I don’t but it doesn’t mean I’m better than other people who do

The large majority of the posts in this instance do not support what you just said. The GOP is objectively much worse by every metric on all of the stances that are touted on .ml and yet almost all of the hate here is directed at the Democratic party. At best the values here are extremely hypocritical and at worst it’s straight up gaslighting in order to prop up the GOP in order to advance foreign interests.

The Democrats have not done a good job but the difference between the parties is staggering and the objective of the rhetoric in this instance is obvious.
