Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Its always the cunts you most expect.

[–] VeryInterestingTable@jlai.lu 126 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's a law enforcement representative promoting slaughter of citizen's exercising their right to protest. And at the same time making fun of people who have died this way.

You guys need to hit the reset button. This is beyond fucked.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 31 points 1 year ago

Nothing happens to them most of the time when they kill people. For sure this guy is getting off light.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's all too expected, though. Especially in Pennsyltucky. Wouldn't surprise me if he has a Klan card.

Yeah, this is the system working exactly as intended.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Some of us our trying. Unfortunately, the pacifying abilities of the US are still very strong. Even as material conditions decline.

This is the latest attempt to deal with the contradictions of capitalism.

We had amazing turnout for the "No Kings" protest. But that likely gave the well-off Liberals enough to feel like they did something for awhile. And most will still nod their heads in agreement with "dealing with Iran". The US is in need of a war to improve its economy it seems.

These fascist will grow more bold as the liberals start to see protests and threatening to the status quo they also enjoy. And the poor of this country seem to have just enough bread to keep them from targeting their violence at the right people.

I don't know what will happen. But we are definitely living through weeks where the decades happen right now. I just don't think it's going to end in a good place.

[–] Caffeinated_Sloth@lemmy.world 68 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ah yes, the “pro-free speech” team.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They are pro-free-speech just like they are pro-constitution and pro-bible.

Only the parts they can use to justify doing whatever the fuck they want.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget being pro-freedom and pro-American. Same exact thing. They don't mean any of it. Not really.

See also - their outrage about "political correctness" and "identity politics". They are 100% in favor of both, just their form of it.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

FYI I edited my comment, but it does not detract for your point. I just feel bad editing wording after receiving a reply so I wanted to mention it.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This sheriff should be removed from office.

[–] liquorisquicker@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seriously how the fuck is this not immediate grounds for expulsion?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Don't think it works like that for elected officials but it should. Fucking garbage human here.

James Muller, 79

A 79 year old sheriff?!

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why hasn't he retired at 79? Has he been failed by America's shitty social support? Or maybe is he just one of those people who is obsessed with power?

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Both, really. Shitty social support in that he likely had an F-tier education, leading to being obsessed with power.

[–] TheDeadlySquid@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Unchecked power is a very addictive drug.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Fuck, our president is that old.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

It's going to be REALLY wild seeing these same fucks starting bitching and whining about being gunned down in the streets. They start a hot civil war and act all tough and shit, but watch who pisses themselves first.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

If I promoted violence on social media I’d no longer be employed.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

so like, if we post that same truck picture on said sheriff's personal webpage with the caption "sheriff crusher" we totally wouldn't get pulled in by the fbi or nsa or sheriff or anything. this fucking country.

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

It's crazy just how blatantly evil they are, man.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They really aren't convincing me that there is a moral imperative in NOT shooting them. With each abuse the rightwing afflicts, the less that I consider Republicans to be fellow Americans. Rather, I am starting to view them as irredeemable monsters that must be slain.

The GOP doesn't understand what will happen to them, their families, and society. We won't be one people anymore, becoming willing to wage war upon each other. This is a dark and evil timeline, one that could have been avoided if the Republicans were willing to think beyond themselves.

The destiny of our nation will be written in blood, deserved or not.

😞

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If he were gunned down by a protestor while driving his truck there is a real self defense case here.

He posted publicly about murdering protesters with a truck.

If he catches a bullet that would be an o Henry level of ironic satisfaction

some days you feel like hiding. some days, you feel a little:

He's elected so can't really just be fired

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Adams County? Makes sense.

[–] Dreamchiever@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Is the Uvalde edition just 400 cop cars in urban camo so they can hide from one gunman?

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If only we lived in a society where this sort of comment made by a law enforcement officer would get them fired from their job.

[–] RaptorBenn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I thought that paint job only came on the "kill cops cause theyre scum" edition

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago

He should be removed from office at the very least.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you see a police officer on the streets, you are in your right to defend yourself. They do not have your best interests in mind, they are more likely to murder you than even let you be.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You first, that is one of those things that sounds "cool" in your head or on the Internet. Reality, you're either dead or in jail for 30 years...

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It just says this

A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (:). Description: An unhandled exception occurred

Odd. For me it says:


Sheriff's Office: Vision, Mission and, Values

VISION:

Our vision is to become the most professional law enforcement agency in the County and our region. To make this vision a reality:

We will become well known for our high professionalism, our competence, and the dependability of our word—and through these we will gain and establish the public’s trust. We will consistently demonstrate exemplary performance of duty to serve and protect the Court and the citizens of Adams County, and to assist our peers in the law enforcement community to maintain order in our community. We will become known as reliable members of the community, as enthusiastic participants in its activities, and as visible forces for good within it. Each of us will become a knowledgeable and skilled ambassador for the Sheriff’s Office and an educator-through-action for the public. Through our actions and our integrity, we will become known as models of diligent, steadfast, and thoughtful public service. We will carry ourselves with dignity and be proud to show our passion for exceeding expectations, doing things well, and making the work of others easier. We will always learn something valuable from our mistakes, and never miss an opportunity to help create a positive heritage for the people we serve.

MISSION:

The mission of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office is to provide first-class professional, dignified, and courteous service to the Adams County Court, the citizens of the County, its agencies, and all law enforcement agencies with whom we partner to maintain order in our community.

We will serve with integrity and distinction, whether providing security for court proceedings, serving warrants and papers, conducting prisoner transport, or fulfilling any other duties required under law and statute.

As we undertake our Mission, we shall keep in mind at all time the Vision and Core Values of this organization.

CORE VALUES:

We subscribe to three (3) core values which guide our actions and our conduct:

Duty Service Integrity Our duty is to uphold the Constitution of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the statutes of the state. We have a duty to uphold the trust of the public we serve, a duty towards each other, to the Office of the Sheriff of Adams County, and to ourselves.

We are mindful that we are a service organization, funded by the public, and guided by the notion that community partnerships are the best way to establish trust between public law enforcement agencies and the citizens they serve. As service providers, we have a duty to serve each other with diligence, dignity, and respect so that we can all do our best to serve those outside our office.

We understand that integrity is the currency of all our transactions, the stock in trade and basis of our worth as an office. Without integrity, there can be no trust from the people we serve.

To show that these values are fundamental to our performance as a team:

We will always be true to our word, keep all our promises, and take every step that quality follow-through requires. We will take every opportunity to convey our mutual support for each other and what we stand for. We will earn the respect that others have for us through service, hard work, and proven commitment to our own growth and self-improvement. We will act with dignity, respect, and self-possession—because what each one does reflects upon us all.
