I think I’m bemoaning the fact that these whackos are everywhere, cosplaying cops or ICE or whatever. It’s the Wild West we are in now.
And I love the fact that it’s always white men doing this…meanwhile our Govt is rounding up and deporting law abiding brown people. (I’m sorry everyone, rant over. Off to rally.)
@firefly The bit I saw, they said that you should not open your door to one police officer, and that if they were sending anyone to a door this this week, it would always be two officers.
Good strategy.
(In many countries if the news was "dressed like a police officer" I would take that to mean was a police officer, I hope not here.)
Loathe the thought of answering the door armed. My father was an MP & a policeman briefly when I was born. He said police would tell old ladies to drag the body over the threshold after they’d shot someone through the door. They’d be back after donuts & coffee. It would be self defense.

@stevewfolds @firefly Yep, they'll shoot first, ask questions later.

'He did nothing wrong': Family of Texas entrepreneur fatally shot by police say he was defending his home

If you have a firearm in your hand(s) when the police show up, you will be shot. Maybe a white guy would be spared and taken to McDonald’s on the way to jail.
IF you are out-and-about, stick to crowds.
IF you are inside, lock all your external doors, put your steel crossbars in place, do not answer your door and do not sit/stand in clear sight from any of your first floor windows.
Some of you may have self-defense options. I don't.
Specifically; the order was to not answer the door for anyone who looks like a cop; unless there is more than one of them.
As well as confirming with dispatch.

so they’re saying it was a real cop “impersonating” a cop, and they’re “looking” for him?
Like… how common are blacked out SUVs with lights? You’d need a hell of a lot of premeditation for that.
AI6YR Ben reshared this.
@samloonie yeah, but you can’t do that without leaving *SOME* kind of trail.
The vehicle mods alone are uncommon. In some states, I think it might not even be legal to have blue lights unless you’re an official LE vehicle.
And in all cases, the acquisition of all this stuff points to a small number of potential people (Law Enforcement and private security), or serious premeditation.

Ich meine ja nur.
I think the biggest tragedy of American culture is that we don't have any WITHOUT relationships to capital.
Even our home grown Christian sects are based around prosperity gospel or a protestant work ethic.
Historically all imported cultural traditions are here because of material conditions and work opportunities. (Maybe an exception for Jews escaping persecution).
And looking at the ethics and priorities of the American founding fathers it's obvious that capital has always been the crux of our culture. All the nonsense about freedoms and liberties were simply the correct things to say in the moment. Did you honestly believe they believed these truths to be self evident for everyone? Or the select few.

It's quite similar to the Pi8088. It follows that the names are similar since the projects were similar - I have no doubt that they came up with the idea independently.
