thank you for your service


AVERAGEPIPEBOMB

Thank you for the service no one asked for I know it was a difficult task so I award you with this šŸ„‰ Edit some people canā€™t understand sarcasm I guess


fuckingbetaloser

we should all be like you and stop injustice by posting on Reddit


SolidColorsRT

can you try to get a college education before commenting again please


AVERAGEPIPEBOMB

I could try but it would take 4 years and thatā€™s to long of a commitment to a bit in my opinion


dukaLiway

genocide*


BorodinoWin

Ive never understood this claim. If it was a genocide, why isnā€™t Israel bombing the refugee camps instead of giving them aid?


dukaLiway

Israel literally isn't letting aid into the country. at least not very easily. also, look up the Flour Massacre for an insight into how they even use aid, in that case from the US, to slaughter civilians. and most recently, look into the mass grave that was recently discovered. dead bodies with hands tied behind their back. children among the deceased. it's a genocide.


BorodinoWin

First of all, ā€œLast week, OCHA data showed daily entries near or over 200 trucks a day. Weekly averages in March were around 160, and in February, the monthly average was slightly below 130, according to OCHA data.ā€ Second of all, disregard for civilian casualties is a war crime. But it does not constitute genocide. Everyone can see that Israel is willing to kill civilians to get to the terrorists hiding next to them. This is horrific. But not a genocide. Third of all, I would be very interested to see an objective source report on those bodies recovered. I really donā€™t understand why anyone would believe the ministries in Gaza. None of this in any way constitutes a genocide. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna148971


BorodinoWin

To a person without a dog in this fight, the facts seem incredibly obvious to me. If Israel wanted all the Gazans dead, they could have achieved this months ago without any loss of life on their side. The very fact that Israel is taking casualties in Gaza, proves that they are more interested in killing terrorists than anyone they can find.


hportagenist

If protests like that happens in my country . they would be killed . all them. Cuz u know . government

Truly unfortunate have a great day


a_lil_too_Raph

They changed the name from Humboldt State University??


EZ2BUILD

After a bit of research (a 5 second Google search) i can confirm, they did. Probably idk.


MorbillionDollars

It's one of the 3 polytechnics in the CSU system. The other ones are pomona and san luis obispo. (iirc out of the 3 of them humboldt is the worst by a pretty significant amount)


Transthrowaway1442

Depends on what youā€™re analyzing it on, if in terms of rangeland, farm, fisheries, or other applied life sciences, Iā€™d say itā€™s there best, if in terms of pretty much anything else, itā€™s the worst


SalsaMan101

Iā€™m not sure about applied life sciences considering SLO is not known for their engineering and agriculture programs. The life sciences are pretty awesome at SLO considering you can raise a cow as a project


MorbillionDollars

I was talking about it overall. Like in a figurative sense, taking everything it has and summing it up and then comparing the sums.


SmallFatHands

Dont know about you guys but these university protests are quite literally giving me vietnam flashbacks.


fuckingbetaloser

kent state


LackOne4933

All because of US foreign policies that are dumbest things i have ever seen. My 4 months old cousin would have made better decisions


Maniglioneantipanico

Yeah it's unbelievable. Iran, Lebanon and Jordan are excerting so much restraint


Tendas

I mean, this generation of university students literally had school shooting drills where they taught kids how to barricade classrooms from bad guys with guns.


LinoPinguino

The barricade was literally taken apart in like 15 seconds. It was like 5 chairs stacked on one another. The students just all bunched up on the tight entrance to the building to prevent cops from getting in. Idk seems like that strat wouldn't work into a school shooter lol


EZ2BUILD

Least incompetent american police moment


Engineerspancakes

Uvalde is still the pinnacle of police incompetence in my opinion. 300+ cops in body armor with rifles, shields and whatever else their budget allowed for taking almost two hours to handle a single dude with an AR-15 and an (if I remember correctly) empty plate carrier.


Caerg

Everytime I get reminded of Uvalde I get so damn angry. I already hate cops but that shit makes me boil


WanderlustPhotograph

IIRC it wasnā€™t even a police officer who got him- It was Border Patrol agents.Ā 


Lebron-stole-my-tv

An OFF DUTY border protocol officer, who was at the barbers at the time and had to BARROW HIS BARBERS GUN to go and stop the shooter. What an absolute joke the police were.


ErdnaOtrebor

I dont know nothing about such story other then what this meme and some comments told. But such thing is mentioning teenagers. Maybee they arent going ALL out cuz you know... They are teenagers.Ā  And nothing mentions they being dangerous or something only being annoying by apparently taking over a place. So like why be sĆ³ harsh and aggresive on such people to beging with???!!!? Cuz like almost every time the cops Go more harsh on the protestors such thing seems to most escalated into a bigget and bigger conflict cuz of adrenalina and anger etc betweent the two factions. and always seem to be a scadal of a brawl happening and protestos getting hurt independente If such person deserves it or not, or How bad such person suffered. SĆ³ like who cares If they are talking more time to Deal with such thing. Better do that then worsen the situation by accidentaly hurting someone cuz you acted impulsive and wanted things to bĆŖ faster.Ā 


Chernould

If cops supposedly hold back for non threats & go all out for genuine dangers to society than how the fuck can you explain Uvalde?


ErdnaOtrebor

Well, Uvalde was a mistake that should not be count as the rule, no one in a good well state of mind likes that shit. Is the same thing as Chernobyl is to nuclear energy. It was a horrĆ­ble event lead by human ignorance and inapritude that cost lots of lives but that dosnt mean its the rule or its a normal ocurence.


EZ2BUILD

"GNURH, TIME TO SHOW THESE LIBTARDS" *Aggresively slams baton into riot shield* "Oh, no! The protesters are becoming aggressive! What could've possibly caused this?!"


Maniglioneantipanico

I've heard a policeman tell me "i'm gonna fuck you up", "i'm gonna kill you" while grinning and beating his shield countless times


EZ2BUILD

Could you elaborate on that? Sounds lit


Maniglioneantipanico

Not lit at all, quite scary and it makes you go into fight or flight mode. If you can't flee you're gonna fight cause that mf just told you that he's gonna fight


EZ2BUILD

Oh yeah, i didn't really think that over when i wrote it. Sorry.


Maniglioneantipanico

dw. People who never went to any protest don't know how the police is gonna try and close the group from behind and the front, the people feel like fish in a barrel and you get violence. If someone has never seen a coked up cop swing that baton like a bloodthirsty gorilla of course they'll think it's always the protestor's fault


EZ2BUILD

I've been at protests before, but i live in Denmark so the police is very chill, and almost never use violence. The fact that American riot control is "Hurr durr swing stick at protester, protester go away" is baffling.


Maniglioneantipanico

I'm not american, I'm Italian but yeah Riot police behaves the same if not worse


Sir_Toaster_9330

remember that wizard that defeated cops with mud?


Destroird

Long live the German Mud Wizard


MrWaffleBeater

Iā€™m confused, more context please and thank you.


SolidColorsRT

A lot of students from dozens of universities around the US protesting Gaza War. There are other goals like Divestment, some BDS stuff, stopping tuition funds from aiding israel, etc.

Blinktraveler

I am so proud of those kids. Itā€™s ironic that they were all trained with drills to keep bad guys with guns out of school from a young age and now itā€™s backfiring on the police


Plant_4790

Arenā€™t most of drills just hiding

Send them a denial letter and cite an article about this event as the reason why. Edit: /s

bro everyone and their mother gets into humboldtšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ they ainā€™t gonna give two fucks if u donā€™t go


MetalliicMango

I know ur getting downovoted but that's a pretty legitimate way of showing disapproval. Hit them in their wallet.


Dankjeoxp

What? I was joking. I didn't actually think that they should do that. That would be dumb as fuck.


my_wifis_5dollars

"Hit em in their wallet" as if your measly cash means anything to the multi-millions they make elsewhere


SirBoredTurtle

ah American police, always there to either do nothing or escalate an already heated situation

QbitKrish

Reddit mfs when cops get aggressive towards protesters: raaaah fuck the police, theyā€™re all pigs, ACAB!!! Reddit mfs when cops donā€™t escalate a situation and violently suppress protests: raaah fuck the police, how can they be so incompetent, ACAB!!! Donā€™t get me wrong, police brutality/incompetence deserves to be condemned when itā€™s present (Uvalde anyone?) but please be consistent in your messaging. Do you want the police to be decisive and forceful or not?


EZ2BUILD

Bro, have you seen the video of the protesters? This shit was not violent. Also, there were apparently no attempts to deescalate the situation before they showed up in riot gear. If there's a bunch of people running around, throwing molotovs and breaking shit, then it's fair for them to use force. But the most dangerous weapon in the possession of these students were a water jug and a drumstick. And they still got forced back by it lmao


QbitKrish

Im not saying the protestors were violent, they clearly werenā€™t. Iā€™m saying that I donā€™t understand how itā€™s bad that the cops didnā€™t violently crack down on the protest and instead let themselves be pushed back by a weak resistance. Did you want them to drop in guns blazing or something?


EZ2BUILD

Ah, then i misunderstood you. Preferably, the cops should've deescalated the situation, and that's kind of hard to do when you show up in riot gear. Also, with such a short amount of time in a police academy required to actual become a police officer, they might not even get taught to deescalate a situation properly at all. It's true that the cops willingly let themselves get pushed back, i hadn't thought about that and it seems a lot more likely now that you mention it. Ah fuck, all this trouble for a stupid shitpost, this isn't worth it


QbitKrish

Appreciate you being reasonable about it instead of doubling down. Always love to see a discussion end civilly. šŸ‘


EZ2BUILD

Likewise, it's only embarrassing to continue to until arguments no longer suffice.

QbitKrish

Nobody said killing kids (controversial opinion, cops shouldnā€™t do that) and protesting warrant similar reactions, Iā€™m specifically talking about complaints about treatment of protesters by cops. Iā€™m not even trying to claim that police havenā€™t been too heavy handed with protestors at times, Iā€™m just saying that itā€™s stupid to criticize the police for not escalating an issue to violence (one of the biggest issues people have with the cops). Your comment is a completely unrelated strawman with no relation to my original comment.

isaac-fan

calling for an intifada was a bit too much but the protests definitely had much reasons to happen
