Imagine driving around, probably with a punisher logo somewhere on your uniform or gear, and then posting your big bust of… store brand groceries

[-] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 year ago

No one else has pointed it out yet but this cop also somehow got himself a $90k Hellcat for his patrol car.

[-] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Wasn't the Punisher's whole MO shitkicking corupt cops?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

No, that was his MO with cops. He shitkicked anyone who was a threat to civilians.

I care less WHY they stole the food. I just find it distasteful when the cops post these "look how bad ass we are" social media posts. Crime, no matter why it was committed, should not be used as someones time to celebrate or the special time before the trial to convince the public that the suspect is guilty via Facebook,etc. Least of all by the group of people who do the arresting.

[-] killa44@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

It's because the police view themselves as a "team" that is basically 'playing' against the other team....everyone else. To them, this is a win and shows how good they are. It's quite disturbing how indoctrinated they are and almost nobody realizes it.

[-] owatnext@lemmy.world 75 points 1 year ago

They deleted the Tweet and released a halfhearted apology.

[-] oryx@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

As is tradition

[-] nutbiggums@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

Now he just sits back and waits on his promotion. Nailed the asshole part of the evaluation

[-] ThatsTheSpirit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 1 year ago

Having to steal food is super tiresome. Would rather not have to, but I've never felt bad about doing it. Imagine that. The normalization of the degradation is my issue personally. Putting people on one side of a moral line based on bullshit economic factors that for the one stealing are a kin to the winds of fate.

[-] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"A female" seems kinda dehumanizing, like talking about an animal or words spoken by an incel.

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

That caught my eye too, but I think it might be a reflection of how law enforcement speaks “a female suspect” “a male detainee” etc.

Por que no los dos?

An incel pig running their Twitter hardly seems a stretch.

[-] landsharkkidd@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

I get that they say "a female" because that's how they "identify" people via police reports and such. But I still cringe so bad when I hear someone say "a female".

Female what? Deer? Shark? Dog?

[-] InputZero@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

That's part of it, but police jargon is meant to dehumanize suspects. They could just as easily say man or woman but those words imply person-hood. While animals can be male or female they can't be a man or woman. Male-Black-46 works just as well to describe an animal in a study as a human on the street.

[-] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

The words “man” and “woman” imply that the person is an adult, which is an unnecessary added connotation.

[-] dipshit@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

all cops are bastards tho.

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago

They weren't even stealing name brand groceries! Lots of those are store brand products.

[-] EstT@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Ok, so here is my apparently unpopular opinion: Stealing is bad, and trying to justify it is not ok and dangerous.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Satire can't even keep up with these bastards.

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

Is lemmy really promoting stealing 🤧?

[-] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 38 points 1 year ago

Over starving to death? Absolutely.

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Literally there's no where stating that someone is starving to death on this post, lmao.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

We are at a point where we can and should make food a right, and not a privilege. Nobody should have to go hungry with how much food we produce and waste in today's world. I don't know why you wouldn't want food security for everybody. It shows lack of empathy, and lack of awareness of how it feels to be hungry and poor.

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can you point out where I said something that opposed to that?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is lemmy really promoting stealing 🤧?

[-] Lux 15 points 1 year ago

yes. fuck the supermarkets

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

I'm worried about how everyone thinks these items are food necessities. Clearly she desperately needed that fancy Febreeze, those air fresheners, and that cheese dip...

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

I like how they turned away the lube like no one would notice

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

Dang y'all have steal passes? I wish I could steal me some bitches after all mans gotta eat sum poon!

Thank you for adding this. I’ll see if I can sticky it to the top for anyone who needs to see it.

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

If you see someone stealing food... No you didn't

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Stealing food doesn't mean you're immoral, it means society is immoral.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

If they're stealing it to eat, sure.

If they're stealing it so they can sell warm coat meat down the local flat roof pub and spend the proceeds on heroin, then... you probably also want to pretend you didn't see it because you're not paid enough to be stabbed by a junkie with a used syringe.

[-] lescher@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

They also stole condoms, the ones they harm the most is their direct neighborhood when cheap stores leave the area and the remaing stores shift the burden of lost merchandise onto the paying customers.

[-] ScrivenerX@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago

Condoms, which should be free.

No person lost their job or saw a difference in price due to this amount of theft. Stop spouting corporate propaganda.

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 1 year ago

I think the person you responded to pointed out the condoms because they believe food-insecure people shouldn't have sex. Which is silly--you don't always have a choice in sex (not everyone's relationships are healthy). And if you're going to have sex, preventing unwanted pregnancy and disease is the responsible choice.

[-] stillwater@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What is it about condoms specifically that somehow make this cross the like into doing economic damage to a whole neighbourhood lol.

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

Condoms?? That's where you're upset? This person knows they shouldn't/can't bring more ppl into this world rn.

Condoms should be free

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck all the grocery stores. They're stealing from US
