  • I mean, personally, I would note that US police departments are extremely uh, compartmentalized. I’m willing to accept that there are good cops out there, genuinely. But a good cop can only exist in a good department, and the structure of US policing makes good departments extremely unstable - and a good cop in a bad department inevitably either becomes no longer good, from accepting the abuses of their fellows, or no longer a cop, from their coworkers and superiors pushing them out.








  • Maybe not bloody, but invading another country to keep oil prices low so stuff like this can exist…

    But… we didn’t invade Iraq in the First Gulf War. That was the whole point of the First Gulf War. We stopped our advance in a matter of hours after pushing over the border because the whole point was to defend Kuwait at Kuwait’s request, and with the approval of the international community, including our traditional rivals.
