What kind of psychopath rolls up to a random house with 20 cars juat because some probably child called? Special weapons and tactics my ass. They just burn taxpayer money and amerkkkans are okay with it

The same kind that swats other streamers.

I don’t think there’s necessarily anything inherently wrong with that statement. A police force acting in the interests of the citizenry to protect and serve them should take any threat seriously. Where things fall apart though is trying to claim that sending multiple vehicles full of heavily armed SWAT agents to someone’s house based on a single prank call is the same as “taking the threat serious”.

America, where grandmas are more dangerous than Christian pedophiles.

No money to fund the “fraud, waste, and abuse” at USAID but easy $1.4B to tear down a government building and build a monument to the most arrogant man on Earth.

Its all about money. Its all the people in charge here care about. I’m serious.

The cops have a chance to “civil asset forfeiture” your stuff. So they come in and kill you or whatever but oh, looks like you were commiting a crime citizen (whether you were or not dead men tell no tales) so now all of the stuff you own is proceeds from that crime and they keep it all and auction it off on websites or sometimes you will dee the local police department driving around a nice vehicle they stole from someone like that.

That cancer treatment shit costs money, they will think to themselves, and it keeps alive people who are in bad health and that will cost us even more money.

So they don’t care that they die. I bet if you took away polices ability to civil asset forfeiture then the murder squads would ease up a little too. No incentive.

Its all about the money, at its core.

This is fundamentally the real problem. Submitting false reports to police will always be possible. Anyone can do it. But a false police report should never endanger someone’s life. That’s only possible because of bad policing.

I’ve actually personally made a police report that resulted in our version of a SWAT team being sent. They’re called ETF here in Canada. I saw what looked like a domestic violence incident, with a knife involved. Because there was a weapon, policy said to send ETF.

When they arrived they locked down the entire area, and then they talked to the people inside the apartment. They gave clear and simple instructions, they made them both walk out one at a time, they got everyone’s stories, and they resolved the entire incident without violence.

ETF are trained by JTF-2, one of the best special forces units in the world. These are absolutely terrifying people. If violence had been needed they would have dispensed it with ruthless efficiency. But that training also gives them the confidence to not use violence as a first resort. They’re taught to de-escalate, to resolve situations safely and calmly wherever possible.

This is how policing works all over the developed world. Only in America is “murder by cop” a realistic option, and that’s 100% a problem with American policing.

And, I want to be absolutely clear about this; Canadian policing sucks. We’re not even a good example. So many countries do it better than us. America has set the bar so low that even our middling efforts look amazing in comparison.

Best we can do is paid leave

Yeah, yeah, you got us.

“You can’t get that much attention if you want it. I was eating it up. It was kinda fun.”

😂

“It was kinda fun. I met people I would never have met otherwise.”

Amazing

thankfully this time the pigs didn’t burst in with guns blazing

Best case for a cancer patient would be a proper health care system, where your cancer treatment is covered by the universal health coverage.

And so a new conspiracy theory is born

That’s not the best case scenario my man.

It has to extrmely low due to their use in the war on drugs raiding homes where there is zero credible threats of violence.

I mean it’s also 2026… you can drive 3 cities away, buy a burner phone with cash. Make a call, smash the phone with a rock and throw it in a dumpster. Then it’s down to scary facial recognition tech assuming the store you bought it from has security cameras.
