Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not just that. He's most likely going to die because some nazi piece of shit thought they might as well arrest him, because he's brown. This is only the beginning, and it's going to get a fuckload worse until they get the same treatment.
History repeats itself.
The fourth box of liberty must be opened.
You can't assume the cop was a nazi, they were just following orders. Everyone has to follow orders in their job and are probably afraid of repercussions if they don't follow through with their job after getting the orders mixed up by, for example, accidentally sent out the wrong plate of food, or an innocent teenager to an offshore death camp.
I just can't. Are people here really this ignorant of history?? Is this satire?
I don't know. How could anyone possibly tell?
I really didn't think this needed a "/s" based on the sentence structure, but based on the votes I am again depressed by general reading comprehension.
These days you can't tell, so many would post that with no irony.
I often find myself agreeing, but the comparison between sending an innocent teen to an offshore death camp and setting out the wrong food is pretty fucking contextual.
Illegal orders are illegal.
Just following orders... the Concentration Camp guards all said the same during the Nuremberg trials. Most of them got hanged. Just FYI.
Then again the yank soldiers all said the same after the massacres in Vietnam and they all got off.
Of course, the situations are different. Nazi Germany had to be broken and the trials were conducted locally by the winners. Can't just abduct high ranking military/politicians of foreign nations, that would set a bad precedent, and probably only work just exactly once. That's why no-one is really giddy to arrest Putin or any of his boot lickers, too much unpredictable fallout, probably literal fallout.
You’re unaware of the international criminal court then.
The US is not a member of the Rome Statute, nor the ICJ. They've openly threatened those institutions with sanctions if they go after them or their citizens.
The ICJ/ICC are only for the powerless, fallen, disgraced. The big players just don't follow those institutions' orders, at best cherry-pick what to follow.
I'd say I'm well aware how this works.
I feel like not enough people read your entire comment and/or username.
I think no one cares at the moment dude, maybe just maybe now isn't the time for goofin'. Im not doing research I'm simply going to take your word for what you are and move on.
Research, in this case, would have been reading the entirity of the comment. If that is too hard for everyone, I can see why we are in this mess.
The entirety of the comment doesn't really change the fact you need to know it's sarcasm and not an asshole. That said you could always be a sarcastic asshole and uhh...
...maybe that's the case.
That's kind of my whole deal.
That isn't however what your name says, it says you're sarcastic. It just appears you also are an asshole. Like I said I'm not doing the leg work to find out how serious you are, for all I know this is a cover so you can say the shit you actually feel without as much flyback.
If your intent is to be offensive don't be offended that I don't care how serious you are im simply going to assume you're just an asshole which btw you just validated for me publicly. Good job.
That's literally what Nazis said at trial and the court said fuck you if a dollar buys your morality you're simply immoral.
In Magastan, if you are a cop, you are a nazi. A good person doesn't want to be a cop in that country. Even less if they want to become an ICE agent.
