the only reason this is a story is the guy had security video with audio of the cops doing their standard piece of shit routine. swear to god, anybody who doesn't know the "immediately threaten every victim" routine in the US has simply never tried to file a police report in the US. it's their number one move to get out of doing anything in any situation, because the only smart move for the victim is to stop talking and walk away. and if you don't, they get more and more aggressive to scare you off until they get close to being off duty, then they arrest you and get overtime for slow walking you through processing.

literally showing up after midnight several hours after he calls it in. would love to see the GPS log of where their cruiser was posted up for naptime and what restaurant they shook down for a free dinner, because you know that always takes precedence.

when this bullshit system is overthrown, the most important information for your local community to collect and analyze is the personnel files of your local police. these are your predators, scumbags, and bullies. they have no right to arms, power or anonymity in the better world we build. they must answer for their crimes.

Why go through the hassle of an investigation and arrest of a man when you can just arrest the kid for making "child porn" instead? cryptocurrency thumb-cop

The predator is probably a cop. These ghouls protect their own.

Even the comments on Imgur were more or less in agreement that the groomer was a cop with how fast they shut this down.

I swear, police officers love interpreting the law. Doesn't matter that it's not their fucking job or that they're dumb as shit. They can't help but play lawyer.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It’s also not illegal for them to not know a law or misinterpret it, but if a civilian misunderstands a law or isn’t kept up with every new legislation passed then it’s not an excuse for breaking it.

They liked the blue curtains in the Dredd movies.

This won't be a national incident like it should be.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's a reason it's being linked off Imgur rather than getting front page coverage on the WaPo.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

I mean, to be fair

And every other major publication covered it too.

I mean yeah not front page but its not being buried.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If the media really was biased in our favor as mainstream popular opinion likes to claim it is, the cops would be named and shamed on national TV and then tossed in jail for pretty much admitting they're going to let an adult felon walk free....because reasons.

Everyone is "tough on crime" until we're talking about the crimes normies like.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 years ago

Gotta at least hand it to the dad for realizing he should shut the fuck up as soon as the cops reveal their intent.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 years ago

biden-troll we just got to give them more money, jack, then they'll arrest your pre pubescent child even better

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 years ago

see I assumed the cops then would have shot the dad and SA’d the daughter

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 years ago

There was a case where two underaged teenagers met on a dating app and sent nudes. The guy got put on a sex offender’s registry even though the girl and the family pled to the judge that the punishment was too severe for no reason.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago

all cops

all

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago

we need to actually throw cops into a furnace

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Is this news to anybody? They told us the exact same thing starting in 5th all the way up through 12th. Gather all the kids in the auditorium and tell them:

“Sending nudes will get you arrested for creating child porn.”

“It’s your responsibility to not take nudes.”

Etc.

I thought this was just the default conduct for all American police departments. Threaten to arrest kids to scare them out of “making bad decisions”. It doesn’t work but no one cares because the point of rules to a fascist is to signal morality and justify force when they’re broken.

Honey? The hexbears are making me feel old again. chomsky-yes-honey

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It is news to me because I figured it was a scare tactic and not a rule anyone would enforce if the two parties are of the same age and no coercion was involved. The fact they were more concerned about the kid sending nudes (who was groomed) and not about the actual predator shocks me

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't have the link but I remember a story where some teen who took after workout pics, kept them to himself, and was still convicted (or possibly pled) on some sex charge. Absolutely disgusting. The way these laws are written and enforced is about power, not protecting children.

From my experience:

yeonmi-park In the United States, every school must have at least 1 pedophile teacher. They are permitted to give back rubs and openly flirt with students before class. They assign the attractive students seats in the front of the class. They get bonus pay for coaching girl’s track.

Edit: Just remembered one of my teachers got busted for inviting a girl into the school at night and trying to get her to meet up with him at a hotel. And it wasn’t one of the two teachers I based the above comment on. So we had at least 3.

Edit 2: We actually had another teacher get fired for literally fucking a student. That was in 7th grade. She didn’t even make it through teaching a whole year before she went full pedo.

In my middle school there was a creepy old guy teaching science who would routinely "drop" his pen and ask one of the 12-to-13-year old girls in front to lean over and pick it up for him

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

All the comments on videos of female teachers molesting male students is met with envy and praise. They made a whole South Park episode on it lol. In real life guys were like this too when I was in middle and high school.

I remember on this old sitcom called the George Lopez Show, the son gets molested by his female teacher and he thinks it’s all epic and cool, and George Lopez is just like “no son, you just got molested by a predator.”

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

The only similar thing I recall was when we had some guys in telling us not to nonce 13 year old (no matter how willing they may be) when I was 17.

It was a very strange presentation.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And mfs say cops try their best.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 years ago

Try their best at what? honk

Try their best at what? big-honk

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

That went better than expected but only because I was expecting the cop to shoot the family dog and the kid.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

CW: some pretty extreme police violence (also I can't fucking believe this video is 9 years old. Fuck all has changed.)

I actually briefly met one of the guys in this compilation (before it happened). Was a big deal locally kinda. Problem was dude didn't make a very ideal victim because he's literally the scum of the earth (and not like, "he's no angel" type shit you usually see (and he's white anyway), I wont get into details because it would require a CW but he's garbage just trust me) so a lot of people I knew couldn't see the systemic problems involved and only saw someone they hated getting fucked up. I was one of the only people that I knew saying "yeah no doesn't matter that he's garbage noone should be treated that way and he wasn't under arrest for those things anyway, he was just in the drunk tank." And honestly, because of the local culture being very enabling of the things he did, most people weren't saying he deserved it because of that but because of more petty shit anyway. The people principled enough to hate him for the things he did were on my side when it came to what the pigs did lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Just from the collage of brutality I just saw and your description, I'm gonna guess he was the guy standing handcuffed in a cell that some meathead pig full-force shoved backwards into the wall.

Don't feel any pressure to confirm or deny, just thought I'd throw my guess out there.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This week I found a 90 minute video compilation of cops getting fucked up. Call it what you will, but to me, that shit is CATHARTIC.

Even my therapist agrees that its cool and good

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

GOOD therapist

So uh...

You got a link by any chance?

I could do with 90 minutes of the macarena

r/justicereturned is pretty good

Got to admit, it's more based than I expected for reddit-logo

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't been purged yet

My ex had this same situation happen. Cops acted like complete assholes. The kicker? Their dad is a cop.
