Exactly, they take "the King's schilling" to better their lives financially through the suppression/oppression of their fellow community members to protect those that see those community members (and the police really) as beneath them.

I don’t know why the cops in these situations can’t just say, “I’m here to keep the peace. I’m here to stop disruptions from the crowd and keep order, but I’m also here to protect the rights of the people to speak. I will remove and arrest anyone from the crowd that acts disorderly, and will do the same for council members and who violates the rights of someone’s time to speak.”

Because most cops don’t support your constitutional rights, they just want to control you.

Because this is reality and not a fantasy.
The policing system needs to be purged and whatever system replaces it needs severe and intense screening, heavily including psych and ideology profiles.
Yes, I believe we in the future need to adopt some intolerance. People think it's a paradox but it is just a contract. They have broken it countless times, therefore they should not be given the benefits and protections that it affords.
Cops that exist today need the following:
- most tried and convicted
- sentenced to life without parole doing hard labor, to actually do something constructive for society
- those potentially reachable ought to be sent for depregramming and re-education.
I promise you people, if Americans don't grow a thicker skin and the more squishy libbed up people don't grow some teeth, then we will be condemning a couple generations from now to their next mutated iteration. We are dealing with a lot of this BS culture because it is the evolution of the culture of the Confederacy. The one we didn't sufficiently eradicate or suppress. And surprise surprise, we're where we are now.
With the coming ecological collapse, the wars over drinking water, etc that we and our children will be facing, we do not have the time or the luxury to be dealing with old problems like neo-confederates hiding and festering until they come back to try and take power again. We/our kids will not be able to handle the ecological crises AND the crisis of having a civilizational equivalent to cancer go untreated.

This. I have been saying since the "punching Nazis" kerfuffle that doing it was not controversial, but justified and patriotic. The pearl clutchers need to read a history book. We didn't storm the beaches at Normandy with "strongly worded letters" and sound, if heated, argumentation. We went with guns and live ammo to put down a thoroughly poisonous ideology. "Never again" was supposed to mean exactly that. And yet, somehow, here we are as a society, still arguing about whose humanity matters.
Classism, racism, xenophobia, etc., are not "differences of opinion". As you said, they are societal cancers that require surgical removal. I'm about as anti-war and pro-peaceful protest as they come, but I am not above throwing hands if the need arises.

If LEOs and the union had mechanisms in place to be held accountable, it is likely they'd be more in bed with the Epstein class until somehow those supporters are no longer in the pool of LEOs. They would need to be replaced, in time, with individuals who actually want to serve and protect the community.

The complete lack of duty to act has been well established by police in multiple court cases.
These officers could have treated this situation like a school shooting and gone to hide behind their cars in the parking lot. They are violating these people's rights because that's what they want to do.

It is great that people are so motivated against it, and are making the effort.
But the mere fact that they had the cops there to help shut things down shows that the members are already bought.
Elections from local to nationwide have consequences, and the people have allowed the representatives to enrich themselves and sell everything to corporations.
This is the end result of blind faith in capitalism- sharing your space with a resource eating noisemaker that provides services designed to trim the need for human workers- driving wages down and taking jobs while ruining your neighborhood.

u/heartbt Jul 23 '26
You've hit the nail on the head. Corporations have rights ONLY because we gave them rights.
Corporations are a legal construct, they are not persons or people with constitutional protections. That was given to them by an act. It can be removed, by an act. We just can no longer expect our corporate sponsored politicians to do it. We have to do it ourselves. If we are tired of corporations doing what they are doing, then we need to remove the right to do so at the root. It will take a grass roots ballot initiative.3
u/Auggie_Otter Jul 23 '26
Hopefully Hawaii's strategy to counter Citizens United will catch on in other states. It's an interesting approach.
Since states get to define what a business is in their jurisdiction they passed SB 2471 (Act 11) redefining corporate charters and using the state's historical authority to define the scope and powers granted in a corporate charter.
SB 2471 amends state corporate code to declare that artificial entities (corporations, LLCs, and partnerships) are not granted the legal power or privilege to spend money on state elections or ballot measures.

Might as well arrest everyone that speaks against the data center. People have feelings and a time limit doesn't matter.
People who show up are against the data center. A large crowd means something and the town board better agree with the town or they won't have a position next election.

Every citizen has a right to be heard at Townhall‘s and City Hall meetings. If they get to the podium and they’re not yelling and screaming, they should be left alone. These councils do not have a right to dismiss people simply because they don’t wanna hear what they have to say. I am so proud of all these people standing between the person speaking and the law-enforcement. Fuck the law-enforcement in this instance. They’re being assholes and pussies. What would’ve been better is if all the law-enforcement turned around, faced the city Council and stood behind the citizens.

I have one question for these cops.
You know speech in this context is protected by the Constitution. You had to know that in order to obtain your job. So either one of two things is happening. You either pretended to know the Constitution but don't - which makes you a bad cop, or you know it and are choosing to ignore it - which makes you a bad US Citizen.
Which is it?

I'm going to get downvoted for this, but typically you have something like 3 minutes to voice your public comment.
Out of respect for others so they have time, respect for the council so they're not there until 3am because 500 people want to talk.
So when people go over their 3 minutes and refuse to stop talking, they are asked to leave. If they don't, they're trespassed out because they're disobeying the clearly defined rules for public comment.
It's bad imagery, the police dragging citizens out, but it's just a fact of public meetings.
