An American Gyro

My goodness, so poetic - I love it! And I fully agree with you.

But he does have a wrapsheet that's a foot long.

Some just have hero sandwiches?

this was beautiful thanks for sharing it

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The way they leapt at him the moment he threw it tells me that what he was saying and doing was actually getting to them.

We need more of this.

Also, I know I often laugh when I'm uncomfortable, so maybe that's it, but the camera man is about to find out that maybe having the Gestapo take over your city isn't actually funny.

That sub belongs in a museum

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Are those the dangerous gangmembers Trump was talking about?

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

That slow run was like ballet.

[-] beatnixxx@fedia.io 7 points 4 months ago

a domestic terrorist using a sandwich of mass destruction. /s

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The murder weapon was composed of ham and cheese

[-] maam@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago

Never mess with the heavy eating his sandwich

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

So... I gotta know. Was it a hero's hero he launched?

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

What's the charge? Delivering a footlong meal? A succulent foot-long meal?

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It would be assault of a police officer and resisting arrest. Looks like that guy in pink was running in slow motion vs the special forces wanna be's wearing 50 lbs of armor and equipment.

Throwing sandwiches should become the new protest en masse.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

I think it's just a play on succulent Chinese meal guy (he's dead now).

A large sandwich\sub is literally known as a "hero" sandwich. Why would you try to take that perfection away to go for "gyro" , that is neither pronounced the same, or is a similar sandwich?

[-] sylvieslayer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

.......go google Greek Gyro, then go find your closest Greek restaurant and educate your taste buds. Tust. They will be happy.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 4 months ago

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love eating them. But the guy threw a hero sandwich.

[-] sylvieslayer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Ah my bad! I misunderstood your comment

[-] Sinthesis@lemmy.today 1 points 4 months ago

adjust nerd glasses technically speaking...the greek word gyro is pronounced "eeer-o" so its not that far off from "here-o"

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

You should know, Cole, that everyone loves a pedant.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Plus gyro DOES rhyme with hero

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 4 months ago

Gyro does, but gyro doesn't.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Cops love sandwiches.

[-] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Nah he was a hero delivering justice

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

handoff food delivery for those fine fucks, whoops folks, in the gestapo

it's literally in the title. lol

I keep trying to formulate a plan in my head:

On one hand ACAB: They all promote the national security culture within the law enforcement sector that we civilians are the enemy. The departments are all corrupt through and through

On the other hand the non ICE officers hate being used as Sπ‘–π‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿβ„Žπ‘’π‘–π‘‘π‘ π‘‘π‘–π‘’π‘›π‘ π‘‘ or Einsatzgruppen (German SD, or Death Squads, respectively) to pick on innocent civilians to be shuttled away to concentration camps. And I wonder if there was a way for the public to tell them we're sorry they are being abused by being repurposed as general goon squads, and if that might encourage them to resist more than they do.

Also, ICE agents, either pre-Trump used to sometimes engage in action that at least had the appearance of legitimacy, e.g. tracking people with violent records. New recruits (post OBBBA Budget) were told they'll be hunting the worst of the worst and then are picking up day laborers and ice-cream vendors, which is soul crushing for even MAGAs who wanted to be the hero.

We need to be able to take these sentiments and weaponize them against the system, and the policy-makers that are forcing them to be evil fucks for The Man.

I don't know the specifics, but there's a schematic in there somewhere.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Oh? They "hate" that, do they? Cite your references to that claim, please. Otherwise, your comment seems to stop at "ACAB" in its efficacy. 🀌🏼

[-] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

ACAB? American cops are bad?
