My cousin went for a walk in their aunt's residential neighborhood, and someone called the cops on them.

I remember visiting family in Michigan a few years back (well, right before COVID), and someone called the cops on my cousin and I sitting on the driveway shooting the shit at 9pm in the summer, like, wtf?

The media is a fear machine.

A college friend of my sister and friend were walking on the sidewalk on a road like this in Buffalo NY and a cop car rammed into them paralyzing one of them from the neck down.

Jesus Christ, that's awful. I wish that your friend will recover, though I know all too well how slim those prospects are. How many days of paid vacation did the cop get / which department did they move to?

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They moved to a dept in another county :( The county (so the taxpayers) did pay the family like 1 mil but she needs a nurse pretty much permanently which costs a lot

Yeah, a million is chump change for a lifetime of healthcare cost.

Small tangent, but dude, NextDoor is a hell app. I used it for less than one day before I deleted it for being a festering cesspool of breathless Nancy Grace energy. "YOU GUYS MY RING CAMERA CAUGHT SOME TEENAGERS WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND THEY WERE LAUGHING?! WHAT WERE THEY LAUGHING ABOUT?!" Straight up, besides the caps, not exaggerating.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

Obviously they were laughing about the horrible crime they had just committed! /s

I was walking on my street until some lady going 80mph almost hit me. My road elevation changes enough that at that speed you don't see someone until its too late at that speed.

I was watching 1923 recently and there was a scene where one of the main characters was walking along the road and got stopped by a policeman in a car saying that vagrancy is a crime. WTF? I get it, it's about a bygone era, but really? You couldn't just fucking walk in the US?

Also see: the beginning of the Rambo movie First Blood.

So you're saying that this shit is still going on? No wonder that country voted for Trump twice...
