A wreck in a high speed chase isn’t a freak accident. It happens all the time. High speed pursuits are dangerous. The police know it, that’s why cops have helicopters and drones to avoid getting in them.

Further, we’re not talking hypothetically. Cops chased a stolen car into a bystander in the attempt to do just what you’re suggesting. An innocent person died so they could catch the criminal.

For what? Retribution? To recover the car? Were either of those worth that woman’s life? I don’t think so and i can’t imagine anyone who would!

The very thing you espoused, the cops not letting the person escape even though they knew it was dangerous to everyone around, led to the loss of innocent life! It would have been better if they had never given chase and the car was lost forever!

Unless of course a person getting punished for theft and a car being recovered is worth a life.

So you can crawl down off the cross, your opinion isn’t milquetoast and it’s hard to imagine a world where holding it in this day and age isn’t a moral failing.

It’s worth restating that you gave your pro cop opinion over and over again in a thread about a tragic bystander death caused by cops made in a community for discussing problems and effects of the carceral state that had explicit rules against acting the way you did.

You’re a lot closer to westboro baptist protesting funerals than some high minded equal exchange in the free market of ideas.

I don’t hope you die, but I do hope you learn to post better.

Here’s that novel of rules:

RULES

① Real-life decorum is expected. Please don’t say things only a child or a jackass would say in person.

② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.

③ Saying cops should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not.

Please also abide by the instance rules.

That’s for anyone reading along, I believe you when you say you’re not gonna read them.

I don’t wish death on you.

You seem like a heartless and knowingly thoughtless person who feels entitled to be heard but not to listen or abide by norms, complaining of the wounds others have put upon you but silent about your own transgressions.

My sympathy lies with the embattled users afflicted by your awful posts rather than you, cursed to know that people who interact with you hate you.

I don’t think that’s all there is to you. If you want to be seen in a more charitable light, maybe read all those rules before you post, take some time to consider the place, time and context of what you’re reading and of course, remember the person on the other side of the keyboard.

You can also use a platform that accepts your behavior. Reddit and twitter aren’t closed to new users.

hey just a heads up, they linked their post that got death wished on them in the replies, it's in this thread about a bystander death due to police pursuit where they defend the cops actions, not their comments in some other thread arguing about rehabilitation.

thanks for providing the link! lemmy modlog can be hard to navigate sometimes so i understand it might take a while to chase the other post down.

you went into a thread in !thepoliceproblem about an innocent bystander getting killed due to cops actions and defended the police. here's the other person's entire reply, for posterity:

I do not hope that you die.

after reading your responses in that thread i do think that person is right about everything else though. you go out of your way to defend the criminal justice system and the carceral state in the context of a discussion about how it's endangering bystanders in a space that is explicitly about the problems with the carceral state, the criminal justice system and militant policing.

you're the problem in that thread, not someone mouthing off because you didn't read the room.

the room, by the way, has "If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent." as rule number two right there in the sidebar, so there's really no excuse for acting the way you did and then snapping back at the person who politely pointed that out to you later in that thread.

look forward to seeing the other post.

I haven’t had time to read the drag show thread but I didn’t see anyone wishing death upon you in the policing thread after a quick glance. Can you link it if I missed that reply?

I’m gonna reply to your other, longer comment.

I’m not sure if it does myself but I wanna read what happened and those were the most recent threads I saw that roughly fit the description.

I’m not sure. I want to look it up and see what was said to them so I asked about the two threads they were commenting in most recently that it could be.

Was the pedophile accusation in the same thread in which you were claiming drag shows are too sexual for children? Was the disagreement about policing in the thread where you said rehabilitation doesn’t work and the only way to keep society safe is to lock up more people?

e1: the post wishing death on @[email protected] was in response to their multiple comments defending the dangerous actions of police that resulted in the death of a bystander made in a thread on [email protected], which has explicit rules against defending the police.

here's the post:

and here's the thread in question in case anyone else wants to read it

Big talk for someone who went two hours without roasting a thing.
