IdiotMachine 05/29/20 12:14:27 PM #1:	My last topic got modded. I'll try better without a clickbait title. In general, any time something awful like this happens, the officers are punished to the extent allowed by union agreements, the DA gets to decide whether or not to press charges, and if charges are pressed, the people decide whether or not they are guilty. Everywhere along this line, the people had a say. Unions are voted for; DAs are voted for; and the jury is literally the people. So what the fuck. Protesting and rioting won't change shit. Go vote or go anti-union. And hell, if you're not even from the area (Denver protests are happening, yet these types of cases never happened in recent history of Denver; lol so wtf), what are you even doing? Your local government is fine. --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:939886224] in What are t... [t:78729389]...</cite> <quote>My last topic got modded.

Oh and it was interesting the mod comment said that Floyd got murdered (which already shows how much bias there is in that particular person's mind, since murder is legally defined, and the former officer has not been found guilty of doing so). --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:939886266] in What are t...

IdiotMachine 05/29/20 12:18:41 PM #13:	CyricZ posted... Is it? With respect to what happened, yes. Such as the example I provided. Police brutality against minorities are not an issue in Denver. Now if it is an issue in your local area, then go for it (protests, not riots), but protesting alone won't change shit. Get people to vote and run for elected positions. So many DA positions go unopposed. --- https://imgur.com/XNEdLrJ <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:939886415] in What are t...

I am willing to bet the officers did not get arrested because of union agreements to not allow for that until an investigation gets completed. Police unions are powerful and local governments bow down to them because they have no other choice. Nail on the head. Unions are going to protect their workers no matter what, and different states have different rules and agreements. Couple that with the money given to legislators, everyone is at their mercy. But, good luck convincing people that unions are bad. --- PSN: scorpion_4160 Currently Playing: NCAA 14(PS3) <cite>scorpion41 posted [p:939886970] in What are t...
