‘I’ll kill you’: Duterte vows to have son murdered if drug-trafficking allegation true
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte says he will not hesitate to have his own son murdered if allegations of his involvement in a $125-million drug shipment prove to be true. He has also vowed to “protect the police who kill him.” rt.com/news/404055-duterte-son-threat-drugs/

RT may soon be dropped by US providers, courtesy of McCain & Graham
Buried deep inside the just-passed defense budget is a small amendment, which could lead to a ban on broadcasting RT in America. The architects of the provision, Senators Graham and McCain, may recall that in their youth such practices formed what was known as the ‘Iron Curtain’. rt.com/usa/404082-rt-ban-america-mccain-graham/
6th mass extinction event could happen by 2100 – study

Fool Me Twice: Trojan Horse Democrats Pile into the House of Single-Payer
It’s great that more than a third of Democratic senators have signed on to co-sponsor Bernie Sanders’s Medicare-for-All bill. It’s a potentially strong bill that’s been welcomed by single-payer activist organizations like Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) and National Nurses United (NNU), and it represents a victory for the tireless work of single-payer activists and the popular pressure they stoked. It is also, we must recognize, only possible because of Bernie’s insistent promotion of healthcare as a right, in a campaign that widened the field of American political discourse. counterpunch.org/2017/09/21/fool-me-twice-trojan-horse-democrats-pile-into-the-house-of-single-payer/

The advent of everyone having cameras on them really is exposing just how free America really is.
Police are probably defensive about behaving this way because they always have and they don't want to change now that everyone knows what they do, outside of the people they regularly mistreat that Americans looked down upon until now.

Not everyone. While most people haven't been made to experience the apathetic cruelty of the state, a growing number of people are, and with mass and social media these incidents are becoming harder to ignore, especially as they grow increasingly arbitrary and brutal. Young people especially, being poorer and less insulated from police violence, are starting to form a generally negative view of the cops.
And as usual, the older and wealthier part of the population is mega copcucked, but the younger and poorer sections are harboring fewer illusions about whose side cops are on.
Jace Gomez
The media supports them. Only retards truly support the cops as off record people fear the police like they would the local mafia boss.

Dammit meant to say that people who are on camera have to act like they support and respect police but most know them as retarded thugs.

Chase Thompson
(and previous) I believe the statement is true mostly in America. In European countries the police is *still* a tool of force for the power in place and everything, but they are much more restrained and less murder-happy than cops in Burgerland
The news item that started the discussion is gross incompetence more than police "evilness" IMO.
Dylan Turner
the police's story is literally "oh we told him that we were cops and he CHARGED US"
Angel Thompson
It was just a few Soralian internet lunatics sperging of twitter, he should've just ignored them instead of making a big deal out of it.
Michael Perry
Philippot truly believed that the FN could be reformed and become "respectable" His strategies failed during the campaign He and many of his close circle lost legislative elections The great reform that he wanted to make during the summer simply didn't happen - at all, not even a public statement about it
This is probably him realising that no, he will *never* carry the party in safe waters, no matter how many interviews he gives and no matter how talented he is
Isaiah Miller
I've thought a lot about why American cops are so much more intensely violent and incompetent compared to Euro ones. I don't know much about the Euro justice system, but the best answer I can think of is that in America cops have the duel job of protecting property and the status quo (just like Euro cops) along with the side job of fueling the PIC. American cops are hired and trained specifically to be manhunters whereas Euro cops are just used to keep the peace and make sure the proles stay settled.
Mason Sanchez
Maybe it's that, or maybe it is that you have 2 years of training against 6 months, usually less racial tensions (though they still exist), and most importantly, not the goddamn awful American justice system
Pleas bargains, for-profit prisons and inmate labour is modern day slavery An actually non-negligible part of First-Responders and Firefighters in some states are inmates doing barely paid labour Also, remember that judge who was paid by a correction facility to send younglings and one of them killed themselves ? Good times
Christian Hughes
>The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports union leaders responded with a message on plywood covering the broken windows: "We're open, We won't be defeated." Aren't these the same cops who were chanting "OUR STREETS" as they marched through the town a few days ago? What the fuck is wrong with american pigs? Our cops may be capitalist tools but they don't act like a fucking street gang.
Luke James
The question is why do all of those things exist? People like to think the system is broken, but it more likely seems like it's designed that way.
Caleb Green
I can think of several reasons, probably most of them incomplete
Kim Jong Un responds to Trump's UNGA comments, calling him a "gangster and a dotard"
Really worth a read. The thing about North Korea and KNCA (the state newspaper) is that their assessment of the situation is never wrong. They're easily the most straightforward and coherent in this so called crisis.

It won't even change anything but gather support for the policemen even who are at the forefront against islamig terrorism

You mask it with your ideology but there's something else than brings you to act and it's just the desire to do violence. I have a hard time feeling sympathy for black blocs faggots when they set people on fire.

Yeah, it's just human nature. Just like lobbying in The United Nations to change clean drinking water to a luxury instead of a basic human right, bribing third world puppets to privatize water sources and sell them to a foreign corporation and then sell it back to third world people who've been drinking their land's water for free for centuries.
Peak capitalism.

Vox: Bernie Sanders wants world peace and prosperity. But he has no idea how to get there
This might be the most infuriatingly stupid thing Vox has published yet, and that's saying something. For those that don't know, Bernie gave a speech recently to Wesminster College (you can watch it here: youtu.be/RuiPFcGHQQc). The basic gist of the speech is that war (imperialism) is driven by inequality (capitalism) and that we can only stop it together. Many people are calling it one of the best speeches of Bernie's political career. This is how Vox and other reactionary centrists are responding:
How does one identify as intersex? I thought that term was specifically about mixed up physical appearance of genitals. I think what H H EEEH H EHHHH EEEH H EH H EEE meant by that is already covered by terms like queer and non-binary, no?

Yes, it was me. Strange somebody still remember me. I will never understand this blind hatered against cops. I get the idea of being against the institution, especially in its current form, and from a theoretical point of view I get hating cops, but these wishes for violence, I just don't understand.
Gabriel Ross
I remember wondering if the moralizing gay french dude with conservative seeming sympathies would stick around and become more lefty or fuck off to some other, more agreeable part of the internet. I also liked your posts I think.
And I don't know, man. Cops in america are disgusting even without the constant violent abuse. Hard to sympathize even though I once, a long time ago, wanted to be one. Maybe they're a little nicer in france?
Jackson Jones
Hehe, nice way to pinpoint me Where would I go ? Reddit a shit and 4/pol/ has ruined 4chan. I also like being challenged and defending myself. Erf, I dunno. Sticking around make me realise a bit more about the theory and mostly about why muh commodities are so important.
I literally quoted Das Capital (well, the chapter I've read) to friends last day when we were talking about DLC and how I find it a typical excess of Capitalism. I shitposted 'I have a better idea, let's abolish money' and redpilled them about exchange-value, use-value and how art cannot be "produced" since it's not destroyed when you look at it, and how as such Capitalism isn't required to produce art, and in fact, hinders it.
I'm probably biased. I literally never had any problem with law enforcement my whole life, I'm white, middle-class, can follow orders and rules without too much fuss (a personality trait ? Internalised Capitalism ? Gayness ? Who knows) and like orderly, proper and clean public places probably too much.
The two times I've had to talk with cops was when either I was under 10 and got lost in a supermarket and was brought to policemen who called my parents and when my bike got stolen. That's probably all.
I see it from very far away, so you're probably right. They surely look less professional and less trained. There's a saying here that failed policemen become private security because of how selective the training is.
Th-thanks

One of the men who sheltered Lenin after the July Days was chief of police of Helsinki.
Christian Barnes
Not that poster, but I'm thinking it really does depend on what part of the world you came from. As a burger you get to experience the harsh reality of the 'police' laid bare. It's common knowledge in Holla Forums that fascism is capitalism in decay, and to apply further on apply that logic to single institutions, I find, is also true. The American 'police' is the enforcement arm of domestic capital in its own decay. I'm not claiming that the U.S. is a fascist state, but rather part of its institutions are reaching the barbarism associated with fascism.
Thomas Ross
I can understand not wanting to go the full violent revolutionary in your thinking. It's a hard pill to swallow. I don't want to think that things are actually so stacked in an irreversible way that violence is the only way forward but it's also getting more and more painfully obvious that there's no other option. And if things come to such a head then, yes, killing a lot of evil cops, and even maybe some good ones would probably be an inevitability since they would be on the front line in stopping any kind of radical change in the system itself. Of course at that point I'd imagine a lot fo them would have quit?
If you were american I'd pontificate that, as a middle-class gay, you're personally dependent on recent liberal amendments to keep you as a safe and protected member of society and don't personally feel the burdens that a poor gay suffers and thus it is in your benefit to keep the system going etc etc. But I don't know anything about gays in france so idk.
I really don't know what to make of our cops though. It's like they've been affected by the same edgy amoral right-wing internet mindset I see everywhere these days. Aren't they typically pretty cut-off from the federal government?
Zachary Martin
I honestly didn't think these motherfuckers would take this new red scare this far. This is unbelievable.
David Baker
We might never know. I don't believe revolution is going to happen in our time, tb'h. I do believe that we can improve things, or at least, not stand by while they are being destroyed.
I guess that I've always been the kind of guy to prefer "safe" solutions and never liked risk../
Homosexuality isn't that kind of a deal, though homophobia is a bit more prevalent at the bottom, unfortunately. We are ironically much more influenced by the "Money is evil" aspect of Christianity than the "Sex is evil" one.
Funnily, your boss was forbidden to fire you for being gay a few decades before being gay was legal.

Sure sure. As long as Macaroni doesn't crown himself king then things should keep going smoothly.
Well yeah, obviously. Again I see this as a reaction of being middle-class since even the concept of a middle-class is reactionary imo. You're dependent on the scraps of the upper-class while also having a lower-class to place yourself above. It's like having a vanguard of capitalism.
Where I live in America we don't even have that first protection and only have the second because of a federal amendment. Love these freedums.
