"We are instituting random bag checks," Adams said. "They are random. They are not profiling. They are random."
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHJAHAHAHAHA
Fucking dipshits.
The cops have been issued anti-profiling d20s and they have to crit to check your bags. Random!
So that's why American cops are mostly unlikeable dullards. They put all their points into STR, CON, and DEX and neglected INT, WIS, and CHA.
in fascist amerikkka the regional governors readily deploy their personal military guard into urban areas to menace the local poor.
nation by white suburbanites for white suburbanites
This news piece seemed to have been skipped over by Hexbear.
Nah I'm pretty sure we covered it in the news mega.
Not only did it get covered, it also had a follow-up mentioning hochul ordering the guard to not deploy to the subways armed with rifles after scaring the shit out of too many people.
It never made it outside of the mega though. It's partially my fault I guess, I should have posted more about it.
Hahahahah 50,000 fucking cops and it's not enough. Hahahahhahaa. f
Great, now when people get stabbed/pushed onto the tracks some chud can open fire and create more casualties
Nah, they don't give the national guard bullets.
Kent would disagree, but jokes aside do they really not anymore? I culda sworn somebody got shot at bt then when they were deployed during the protests.
idk. the ones that occupied Minneapolis four years ago didn't have mags in their rifles and didn't appear to have mags in their vests. Maybe they were hiding them in the trucks? But I don't think so. If they gave a bunch of national guard pukes bullets they could end up with another kent state, those guys are even worse than regular army.
I don't understand. What's the point of deploying armed forces, giving them rifles and then not giving them bullets for said rifles? What are they supposed to do, intimidate people into submission? "Oh no, there's a guy with a rifle and no mag in it, better postpone my planned croime!". What are they gonna do if there was a disturbance, say a mass unrest?
Sorry, misread the comment.
Yeah, they were just there to scare people. Everyone was already ready to fight the cops so they needed bigger cops. Americans don't know anything about the military. They saw MRAPs rolling around with no guns on them and thought they were tanks. All they know is "us amry invincible", there no actual knowledge or critical understanding.theoretically there was someone somewhere with a bunch of ammo but they weren't going to hand it to random pukes with even less training than normal us soldiers unless shit actually got to a point where they wanted to kill a whole lot of people
Original comment; Yes, they're literally there to intimidate people. They're doing "bag checks". They're lining up a bunch of two weekends a month amateur soldiers in the subways to look in people's bags for knives or evidence that they're black or something. They're not there to police unrest or crush an insurrection, they're glorified hall monitors because sometimes there are assaults on the subway.
What is a guy with an assault rifle, no police training, and no arrest powers going to do if someone starts hitting people on a submay?
They're being sent to stand around so people who have a mythologized view of people in us army uniforms will think something is being done to " those people" who are being scary on the subway.
Yeah, I could be misremembering.
The pigs definitely killed a whole lot of people, but I don't remember ever seeing hard numbers. Because, you know America doesn't do that.
Self reporting is the best of all possible systems, stop questioning citizen!

This news piece seemed to have been skipped over by Hexbear. Democrat governor of New York sends in the National Guard to make the subway "safer"
I distinctly having read about it here. This is gonna intensify tensions. So 
Americans will be okay with this but see two guards in China and freak out about how authoritarian the country is.
Normal fucking country

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
