You're like a professional goal post mover. What does that have to do with the police?

What do laws have to do with police?

Lobotomized level of take

You literally just misquoted me. If your intention was to completely misrepresent my position for the purposes of...? Good job!

But it's not legal. And as we've already covered, they don't need it to be.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

legal and extralegal actions by the police are both effectively legal in the US because we effectively don't prosecute police. as the laws illegalize queerness, what actions the police are permitted to take expands.

"Effectively legal" is not remotely the same thing as "legal". Do the cops kill all sorts of people unjustly? Yes. That's not the conversation we are having right now. The conversation we are having pertains to being queer in America and it's supposed dangers. And not just "dangerous" but dangerous to the extent that a country issues a warning to a group of people about literally just entering an entire country of 300 million people.

completely missing the point to defend hate crimes. shocking

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Completely derailing the conversation in order to "win" an irrelevant one. Shocking.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

trying to survive is winning, you're right

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The derailing started as soon as you entered the thread, you bellend.

It effectively is the same; hence "effectively legal"

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

being queer in America and it's supposed dangers

drown in your own piss, dickless

[-] HughJanus@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Exactly the kind of reply I'd expect from people like you

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

yeah, you're right. it's exactly the kind of reply debate perverts masking their bigotry deserve.

[-] ThereRisesARedStar@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Exactly the kind of reply I'd expect from a liberal being insulted after they deny violence is happening against minorities.

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the american education system in action folks

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago
