Cop in America doing a bad job, again

I saw them a few weeks ago! They're amazing live.
I second this. Absolutely fantastic concert. Scored tickets 3 seats behind the pit dead center off the secondary market for cheap. Unreal experience, especially when the confetti cannons and fireworks went off. Look on our nephews face (his first concert) was pure wonder.
 
Guys, wrong thread. This belongs in the bad thing happening in America thread.
Yes, wrong thread, but how dare you :lol: Sometimes a good vibe and familiar songs are the good things in America you need to offset the shitty ones.
 



also reminded me of the IDF claiming that Hamas keeps its weapons in the MRI room, as a justification for their extermination campaign inside a hospital
 
American cops are so comically thin skinned and poorly trained. And now they're going to get immunity from crap like this. One could weep for years.

This article investigates whether a core political demand of the 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests was realized: “defund the police.”
We find no evidence that BLM protests led to police defunding. In cities with large Republican vote shares, protest is associated with significant increases in police budgets

The crime wave sweeping the US is obviously because police were defunded by activists after 2020 :(
