A good chunk of the NYPD would love to ethnically cleanse NYC if they could and I really wish that was cynical hyperbole but it really isn’t the NYPD just knows they couldn’t quite get away with it yet.

I don’t know who you are more afraid of that is more prone to systematic violence against and subjugation of innocent people?

I think that’s a stretch. It’s easy to call people fascists and Nazis and cops absolutely are a huge part of that but to claim individuals are carrying ideals of ethnic cleansing is a huge leap. Meanwhile there are genuinely people in the world, a lot of them, who would do far more harm than the NYPD.

If this is a lone actor or a group terrorist group plotting, an enemy state, even if it is covert mission my own government or a friendly government is doing I might still trust the NYPD over them. I’ve literally gone to NYC and spoken to individual officers on multiple occasions. ACAB absolutely but your logic isn’t sound bro

Rikers just entered the chat

Yeah I know these are prison guards but it is all part of the same elegantly designed machine of violence, just a different part of the loop.

Sure we can disguise the cleansing in hate for the homeless and poor and call it a coincidence that the system specifically targets minorities in a dizzying variety of ways but shrugs

Besides, you ever talk to a cop when they think you are part of the same club as them? Don’t underestimate violence and the passionate belief driving that violence just because it has been systematically normalized.

Again ACAB but Rikers isn’t owned by the NYPD and although both operate under the governing bodies of New York it doesn’t really gain that much ground in this discussion because the point is the NYPD will not do what Russia would do. Again, if this is a foreign adversary I do in fact trust the NYPD over them. I trust a rabid guard dog over a polar bear that is mad at me, especially if the polar bear is probably also mad at the guard dog too. The enemy of my enemy and all that.
