Is there a correlation between the number of cops in a city and the range of urban sprawl in a metropolitan area? Cops like to live in the good neighborhoods where real estate speculation is more entertaining.

This matt yiaglasias guy both sounds and LOOKS like the “wings of redemption” of article writers.

"A full press release will issue from the office of Mayor Frog following the heinous actions commited by the Scorpion unit."

Matt Yglesias on the other hand is part of the opinion page TREATS squad

Matt Yglasias saw Mamoru Oshii's Panzercops movies and thought "If only we could just try that."

Scorpion totally not a name synonmous with villains.

@Amberisms is someone who knows a lot about the Kyre beating AND many, many other beatings that have been occurring in Memphis, where she lives, a town which is 65% black. They’ve undone the ‘Scorpions’, which she pointed out was a good thing, but they’ve yet to dismantle all of the OTHER units which have been trained to perform in exactly the same way. She’s definitely worth a follow on Twitter for any-one who believes that black lives actually DO matter. Personally, I feel like it’s so simple: *black people haven’t been LYING about the cops for decades and decades* and NO COP CITY, NO ISRAELI Cop-à-Cop…(😢/🤬/😢…)

That was the main reason for the Memphis Police to go on P.R overdrive during the days before the footage release. They went full theater kid to try and make it seems something SO apart of the whole institution and avoid the simple question: “Hold up, what’s with these Stormtrooper Units that are being unleashed left and right? Did they grew like a mushroom under the departments desks? What’s the surprise in learning about the brutality of the ‘Tree Headed Komodo Dragon Unit’ that were constructed to just do Advanced Police Brutality, down to the name?” Machiavelli have this famous exemple of the head of the Papal Army, Cesare Borgia, sending a dude to a city he had conquered and was threatening revolt, with a total pass to just butcher the place freely. When this guy obviously became the most hated person, Cesare showed up, executed him for “his cruelty” - had him quartered and his bits exposed throughout the city, the whole thing - and announced a bunch of reforms that had shit to do with anything, it was mostly about lowering some taxes, commerce, fucking paving some streets and public festivities, and immediately became adored by the people for it. Now, I’m not saying that they attempted to pull a Cesare Borgia… but the core strategy is still this thousand year old charade.

Now I just want to watch Roadhouse again.

There’s absolutely not more people that would die to put cops in their place or remove them than there are cops. There might be more of us, but the asymmetry of willingness to use and willingness to endure violence is still massive.

Let’s take away their cars, guns, hard shoes, and tasers, and sprays make sure that they’re filming every time their arms or hands MOVE, then make skate boards that they need to scooters out of skate boards (they can play on their own time)…no more police cars, and that one foot MUST stay on the scooter- (can Amazon workers use bathrooms?)Amazon Rules For Americans’ Cops !!! -or, they get to be #Firefighters

@@HerePepPep It’s hyperbole, I agree, but there’s also a shit ton of sub-violent abuses and malfeasance that cops can get away with. It pretty much *has* to escalate to violence for them to see consequences, and considering the body cams have thus far not helped much because cops have real solidarity with each other and can maneuver their way out of trouble, that’ll only be intermittent. And large swaths of the public just do not care. There was a cop near my hometown that staged a suicide to look like a homicide to deflect attention away from tens of thousands of dollars he and his family had siphoned from a teen community outreach program, and I vividly remember hundreds of Facebook comments claiming he was an angel and that the crooked police chief and mayor were setting him up.

"Those people won't do that job." An ironic criticism from a Commie.
