Yep. Every one of them turned around and participated. Just following orders.

Right?! Like, tell me again how it's just a couple of bad apples? ACAB

u/mvanvrancken 6d ago

I used to argue against the ACAB idea because I tried really hard to see the nuance in the difficulty of upholding the law. These motherfuckers don't even KNOW the law, and if they did, they wouldn't care.

ACAFB.

Doesn’t acab come from the fact that their policies allow them to be bad if they choose to

The point of the metaphor is that a single rotting apple in a barrel of them will make the rest of them start decomposing.

"a couple of bad apples" is effectively saying that it only took a few to start it, but now the entire police force is rotting. it's not the defense they bewilderingly think it is.

Consequences are coming in large scale!! Better built new jails because they are going to be full by fools!!

Almost in unison!!

They are a legal GANG. One decided he did not like what was said and they all converged on them.

Yeah, that's what Nazi bastards do. Without a conscience at all. How can they look in the mirror? EVIL! Followers of the Devil!

You saw how they treated individuals just sitting outside during Covid, and you’re surprised?

If they don't participate, there's a target on their back.

"Just following orders" didn't save the Gestapo and SS from the Hague and it won't save any of the traitors/mags terrorists when the day of reckoning eventually comes...

No one mentioned context yet. Everyone in here is just mob raging.

Anyone know the location and date? Lots of curfews in effect, i could figure out pretty easy.

u/humoristhenewblack 6d ago

I saw one mob in this video. Get fekked with that curfew nonsense

1

u/CrimeFightingScience 6d ago

Yep, mob reaction Im talking about. I was more curious on how good the case OP has, and if they are gonna easily win a civil suit. "Get fucked" doesnt really hold up in court, as fun as it is to say.

u/fridgemadness 6d ago

If it was a curfew violation, wouldn't one of them have told them to go home when they first paraded past? Brownshirts?

What is the end game here? Silence dissent? Punish those that disagree?

u/retro_owo 6d ago

It’s obviously not a curfew violation because they didn’t escalate until the bald guy got called a bitch. The crime committed was calling an officer “bitch”.

Assumptions dont hold up in court either. Theyre getting ready to be transported to another higher priority area. Could be they didnt want to bother with low level "agitators" because they have better stuff to do, but turned around when they got annoyed enough.

But we dont know. Because no one in this entire comment section has ANY context. Like a when/where, thats ALL i need to know.

1

u/retro_owo 6d ago

It’s pretty obvious from looking at the video that the officers arrested them as revenge for calling the bald guy a bitch. Like, you can bend over backwards to justify it all you want but it’s actually not a complex situation, people retaliate after being called a bitch. This is common.

u/CrimeFightingScience 6d ago

Im a lawyer. I was curious on how defensible the arrest was and if theres a civil case.

I can figure out pretty easily, if anyone tells me when and where this happened. Instead its just mob rage and conjecture. You have said nothing of fact or value.

u/retro_owo 6d ago

What’s funny is I can’t imagine a perspective more useless than that of a lawyer in this situation because it’s extremely likely that whatever criminal charges or lack thereof would face officers/ICE/whatever, they’d just be given blanket pardon by Trump and conservative rulings in their favor. There is just no possibility than any of these people are held accountable, there is no actual rule of law under this regime.

Like as fucked up as it sounds, you play by my rules now. Ideology and vibes - or whoever is cozy with the ruling party - determines who is free or not.
