It's a lot easier to tolerate the copaganda when they're almost exclusively going after rapists.
The thing I found funny about SVU is someone obviously said "shit, Olivia has been at this for decades, she should be a captain by now," so they made her one but she's still taking calls, the first on the scene, and participating in the investigation.
Btw ACAB probably doesn't apply to her as she's support (same way the wacky corenor wouldn't count). In real life, imagine calling a social worker employed by the cops a bastard.
Also is NCIS even about cops? And isn't there a whole arc on dealing with internal corruption? Or am I mixing that up with another show.
My sister-in-law moonlights as both an EMT and a firefighter when she's not a cop.
Can I get a schedule so I know when she's a bastard? Like, if she's called off the wildfire line in town to do some traffic management, is she a bastard if she's driving to the site in her blue digs in her personal vehicle, or if she is driving back home with both uniforms in the trunk is she bastard-adjacent? She's normally a really great person, so I don't want to misstep.
I gotta know at what point she fulfills your generalization requirements.
I think that kinda depends on how you view morals and ethics. One could claim that a profession doesn't define your morality.......but I doubt many say that about the Nazi or Isis.
Now that's a bit hyperbolic, but it does lend weight to the framework of the argument. Can an individual be "good" and simultaneously be supporting a system or group that is "bad".
Now you can wholly reject the notion that the police are bastards, but that would just be a different debate, and likely a futile one. But, it would still be a stronger argument than your original.
moonlights as both an EMT and a firefighter when she's not a cop.
If my day job is working as a corrupt politician, but I moonlight at a homeless shelter.....does that cancel each other out? If a person wanted for murder stops a mugging, does he get a get out of jail free card?
She's normally a really great person
I don't doubt she's a great person to you and people she cares about, but we're not really talking about personal relationships.
Not too surprised there. In an ideal world, your support staff are independent, scientific, rigorous, etc., but I very much can imagine someone fudging data to help the cops.
It gets blurry, because "defund the cops" isn't the Libertarian wet dream of no police force, but to change the funding for less funding to negative areas (like military APC and so on) and instead hire councillors and such, with the same current budget.
I'm one of these Texas motherfuckers getting fucked with by this dumb shit. I am in the market for a cheap, effective VPN.
I'm thinking about trying Express VPN, but I haven't had time to do all the comparison shopping for which one is actually best. I don't need a shitload of different devices, all at once. At most, I need to maybe cover one desktop PC and two WiFi devices. But I'd be cool with just one seat.
Well, holy fuck! I already have a Protonmail account, so I guess all I need to do is download the VPN app. I'll fuck with that, later. Thanks for reminding me this exists!
Because I've had this conversation too many times before:
If you use the urinal, wash your hands. Even if you didn't have to touch it to flush, wash your hands. Your dick is not "cleaner than the door handle", wash your hands.
Ever see the Mythbusters episode where they lined up toothbrushes to see how far fecal matter traveled. Right near the toilet was the worst but nowhere was safe.
So yes washing hands helps but it's not the be all, end all solution.
I'm sure someone will disagree with me but I think protecting ourselves completely from infection isn't a good idea. Particularly after reading Immune (good but not the best resource) I think washing our hands all the time or using antibacterial soap is not a good choice for our individual health and immune system strength.
Was sitting in a stall and heard a guy leave the urinal and loudly bitch to nobody in particular that he didn't touch his dick while pissing so he wasn't going to wash his hands, because, "fuck that shit." Why are people like this?
