Boop beep I got delete.
Because most sane people will stay far away from the political sector.
Because those who aren't self-righteous bastards don't end up in news articles like this. They're there, just a lot more invisible.
who is most likely to seek out that power?
It's not just that assholes want power.
Having power actually causes neurological changes that reduce your capacity for empathy, making your brain more similar to someone born with psychopathy.
Why is this in globalnews? How in the fuck is this relevant to / impacting anybody outside the us???
It's really not even impacting anyone inside of the US. All cops are assholes.
lol, she’s Republican. Turns out Back the Blue only applies when cops go after other people
Now she's going around tagging the whole city with ACAB, I bet.
Now I care about this because it happened to me!
Officer: Why am I an asshole?
DA: I'm the Monroe County DA
She also offered a lame apology. I'm sure she would have skewered someone else who acted like that, including charging them for running from the police.
She sucks. I hope she's going to be pushed out of office.
The apology video is pure gold, she reads it with this “can we just get this off the agenda already” look.
Well, everyone should call cops assholes, but don't be an asshole about it
The only smart thing to say to police is nothing at all: keep quiet.
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
