in what SHIT HOLE country do 'cops' draw weapons for stolen diapers?!?!
the diapers were insured with loss prevention, deadly force was NOT justified.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Also, if you steal diapers and nothing else then maybe, JUST MAYBE you probably just can't afford them despite them being rather essential in raising a child. Which doesn't make it a non-crime, but it's probably a sign that you're actually in need.
And here I was thinking that raping kids, evading tax and making your country the lapdog of Russia should be punished more severely than stealing diapers out of necessity.
Exactly my thought process, especially since they haven't produced any evidence of shoplifting and the cop shot a kid
To bad they dont vote. They could have Texas lousiana and Mississippi purple or blue if they'd vote, but they don't and don't care too. Fuck kamala they said. No one even has to pander to them on either side. Because whats the point, they don't vote anyways.
They're out there shooting their kids over a thing of diapers and they don't care.
hard to vote when the opposition cheats.

Voting is literally the absolute least anyone can do.
mother fucker. there are people walking hours to vote.
they straight up million man marching they asses to the polls.
when's the last time you ever did some crazy ass shit like that? next time you pop your ass on the toilet and watch a movie you think about that for them people. all that time you spend shitting while watching Johnny Depp his balls in the ocean you could have been marching to save democracy.
come up in here telling people who already giving their all that their all ain't good enough.
get the fuck outta here with that shit.
Nah get fucked your own self with that bot ass comment. I understand voter suppression is a thing. Voting in every single election is still the absolute bare ass fucking minimum every single citizen can do. Literally the absolute least. If you don't vote in every single election you're tacitly supporting the people in power. Go fuck yourself, fuckin shitstains all over this garbage ass site working for MAGA trying to keep people from voting. Fuck you, go vote.
easy to say from your tower of white privilege.

I'm genuinely surprised, eat my hat, and sorry for being wrong.
I wasn't making a statement one way or another. I was just curious as to how true or false that was.
I'd say you're in the realm of reasonable. 38% turnout is pretty pathetic. So is 55%.
If we're not pushing 85% or more, something is wrong.
Do you know why we’re not pushing that percentage? People need to work. Sometimes two jobs, especially somewhere like Mississippi where the minimum wage is still $7.25. People can’t take a day off. Last time I voted in Mississippi, I was in line for 2 hours, and that was at like 11am because I was lucky to have a desk job that let me work from home and understood the importance of voting. Minimum wage jobs do not get that.
So glad I live in Washington state now where everyone gets their ballot mailed to them 2 weeks in advance. For general elections, we’re about 70-80% turnout.
I think preventing police from killing your children justifies missing two hours of work. Especially if it would cause a grand total of $14.50 gross income loss. Or fight to have elections on Sundays, like 80%+ of democracies do.
But I've spent some time close to France, so it might be their influence.
But if missing two hours of work causes you to lose your minimum wage job, then it's not just a $14.50 loss.
Let me take a screenshot of this comment, it's too perfect.
Screenshoting comments that prove you're an out of touch dumbass is a definitely a choice.
Yes. Now, go kiss your bosses butt.
I would say something like "Hope you never get put into a situation where you can't financially recover", but you give off strong vibes of someone that's been handed everything in life and armchair coaches.
Yeah, I emigrated twice in my life and had to start from 0 including learning a new language, twice. Tell me more about handing everything. It's hilarious what a victim mentality americans have. "Land of the free", as long as my boss allows it, otherwise "yes sir, whatever you say sir".
Thanks because I wanted to say that kind of because it should be like 90-100% ideally, yanno? but I also feel like I might have sounded really racist and don't want to like seem like I'm just changing goal posts or trying to continue being just a jerk.
That and imagine the political power they suddenly have if they do start to turn out at 85% while whites are still sitting at 55%.
Georgia is 33% black, 57% white.
Georgia's population is 11.3 million, 77.8% 18 and older is 8.79m.
At the rates in that chart that would be 1.07m black voters, 2.5m white.
85% black turnout would put them at 2.47m votes.
Maybe this year will be the year they to turn out.
You're a good person, you know. Based solely on this thread, I can see that. 🫶
I was feeling very bad about myself, really thanks for saying that.
You're all good, you are totally overthinking it, trust me. Totally fine. ❤️
What the fuck? They did vote even though liberals opposed even just defunding the police.
Black people can vote or not vote however the fuck they want, you crackers are the ones who support the cracker police killing babies.
Good lord. Stop being weird.
Are "they" in the room with us now??
Truth hurts
and its your job to dispense this hurt?
Nah. Listen, some one else shared the stats they're at like 38 %. It should be 88-98%. Every black woman I was close enough in the military to ask said they didn't vote, I'm not just being a jerk.
But while it's true they aren't voting much- I was wrong- black people are voting a bit more than other demographics and deserve less social shame than other demographics. but they still deserve some shame.
Did you also ask them if they joined epsteins army for "muh freedums" or a paycheck?
At what point did you realise you were killing innocent brown school kids overseas so your pigs at home could kill black babies in mississippi?
Played on computers, didn't kill anyone, and I'm a woman and was sexually discriminated out by hegseths army of misogynists.... so, no and I'm not there anymore.
You know I'm a real person right? I just dont get why there's a reason to treat someone like this.
Ha, good job.
You being a part of the military industrial complex means you (as you so eloquently put it):
As for all the innocent fisherman, school kids and people your army (that you willingly signed up to join for a fucking paycheck) have killed, I'm sure they would all take being discriminated against instead of BEING FUCKING BOMBED. You know they were real people right?
Fuck you for your service.
Lemmy is so fucking weird. It'll never catch on.
It's the fuckin tankies. They caught on that everyone just instance bans ml so they all have alts to come fuck things up for the rest of us. Their accounts are incredibly transparent too.
Is ml the place with mods that love blatant disinformation?
The main one, there's a few, hexbear and dbzero are also out there.
They blocked or banned me or something for being critical, but their posts fill my feed. Its unfortunate for everyone their posts get so much attention. It's like watching a psyop develop right in front of my eyes. Why doesn't lemmy do anything about it.
Black women don't vote?? You're a fucking moron. This is what happens when you take a handful of interactions and paint a whole group based on them.
Stop being a drama queen.
"They". Sorry, did I miss the part where the article mentioned the voting habits of the family? Because this sounds like some racist bullshit.
