My day is worsened by seeing this. Absolute creep behavior, sending your cop to a girls house to harass her.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 42 points 1 year ago

I think this was just a joke

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

babe come back, i'm sorry, it was only a joke

ha ha, good one

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

I thought the ridiculousness of the situation was the joke.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, cops pull favors for friends and family all the time. This doesn't read as comically absurd.

Edit: geez I just fixed a bunch of typos...

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

How it's written combined with the title and it being posted to Twitter doesn't seem like your run-of-the-mill favour stuff but rather makes me think it's made for a joke.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately I know people who 100% would have done that in our younger years. Proportionality is just a fancy word to them.

Wrong me? Nuclear bomb time!

Ughh....

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 year ago

This may be a joke, since it somehow ended up on Twitter, but I'd be willing to bet this has happened many times regardless.

[-] LolaCat@lemmy.ca 148 points 1 year ago

Glad she broke up with him, what an abusive piece of shit.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 72 points 1 year ago

This doesn’t even claim that. “She broke my heart” could be “she wouldn’t send me Snapchat nudes” or some garbage

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 year ago

it think they mean op is abusive

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean yes, that’s without question, I’m just pointing out that the comment is acting as if there was already some pre-existing relationship between them, when that’s not laid out, and it literally could just be “I met a girl I wanted to have sex with and she denied me, so I will use my family ties to the police to harass her.”

Also, if this is the US, underage generally means under 21. If this is another country, underage could mean under 18, which just makes it worse

This shit feels like I'm back on Reddit. Fucks sake

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 77 points 1 year ago

Hopefully that's just a joke.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 147 points 1 year ago

The cops? Abusing their authority? Selectively enforcing laws to engage in personal vendettas against people? They would never! /s

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 69 points 1 year ago

There are literal “get out of jail free cards” that LEOs give to their friends and families. They are called police courtesy cards.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

An NYPD spokesperson said the agency “will review the lawsuit if and when we are served.”

e.g. “we’re hoping this gets shut down before it ever reaches our lawyers”

A PBA spokesperson did not comment directly on the cards but said in a statement that the union “does not set policies regarding the way that police officers perform their duties. […] The law and NYPD policies afford police officers discretion in taking enforcement action”

e.g. we would never codify this, that would be proof of corruption, instead it’s just an unwritten rule we can use to support further corruption

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

PBA cards. They’re ridiculous and completely legal.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 14 points 1 year ago

I don't hear anyone laughing.

How to assassinate your ex and her friends legally

Least corrupt cop

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago

If the answer they expected isn’t “no” then they’re probably a psychopath, just like their brother.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I mean this is also how my best friend and I talk.

I find a cool car on marketplace and instead of texting "Hey, check this out" I say "You should buy this for me or Ill tell them where we buried the hookers."

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

This comment section just demonstrates that lemmy may have a disproportionately large number of neuro diverse individuals who cannot understand a hypothetical situation for the purpose of a joke.

Pull that stick out of your asses, people.

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

People know, still it's fucked up

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This joke is in the uncanny valley.

[-] whereisk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Well, you don't abandon an established watering hole (Reddit) you poured your soul in over the years for ideological differences or for inconveniencing you by killing your favourite client if you are typical - hell you'd only be using the official client to begin with.

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

But the stick feels good up there.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Apparently amoral behavior that builds a psychology of imperviousness leads to being a cop, not just after they become one.
