Dude, if their shit is so cut-and-dry (which as we can tel by the wording on their press releases and their public quotes: he “muttered” a threat, they “became aware” he had a knife, that it’s clearly not), why wouldn’t they just release the footage?
Their story is clearly bullshit. Nothing happened that would justify this situation. They escalated unnecessarily, created a life threatening situation over $2.90, and nearly killed a bunch of people.
Let’s see the fuckin tape, you goddamn maniac cowards. We all know you’re spinning the yarn. Fire these fucking dangerous dog shits immediately.
You mean the one that shot the other people? Officer mental health is important! Someone think of the shooter!!
This has been an ongoing problem in the city. Fuckin Mayor Officer Landlord has been dumping millions into multiple cops sitting on platforms, on their phones, watching for people jumping the 2.90 fare. Which they just raised from 2.70. They’re more than spending what they’re hypothetically losing on fare jumpers. Neoliberal capitalist bullshit in action.
Yeah, another factor I didn’t even mention. The voluntary surveillance.
Well, we already experience that psychological torture. After 2002/2003, and then especially after 2012, this concept has already burdened our everyday behavior. Browsing behavior, phone calls, texts, emails…every single way we communicate, even face to face meetings with phones in our pockets are open to surveillance. And it’s been shown that it’s been used. Over a decade ago, thanks to Snowden. Now? Things have surely gotten worse and I would bet the farm on behavior very much having changed due these facts.

Nah, real “people who can’t afford [blank] are just lazy” energy here. You have no idea what others have to do in their day to day lives. To some, working 50 hours a week would be a luxury, let alone time to go to school.
To me that seemed like a stupid, obvious statement. That’s like saying “people are more susceptible to catchy pop songs than they are academic research papers.”
Like…No shit.
And cracking open a book didn’t demolish the environment. Weird.
Man, how do you guys survive an ad-unfiltered internet?
I mean, five sentences is a paragraph.
I mean, I do wish there were a large competitor to YouTube. But…why this particular asshole.
Not to mention some other country would’ve been doing this instead. Other countries do, the US has just been the most notorious and the king of colonialism
Wait—is this the first time he’s done this since the shooting? Huh. I kinda assumed he’d already said it.
Hey, hey, hey. Leave Elmo out of this. Elon is no Elmo. He fuckin wishes.
Oh I thought we were having a friendly discussion. I didn’t know we were arguing. My bad, I’ll change my tone
Mind explaining what you meant then? I guess I misunderstood your point
I don’t think this is the power redistribution you’re implying it is. I’m not actually sure what you mean by that. The power to create truths? To spread propaganda? I can’t think of any other power this tech would redistribute. Would you mind explaining?
