manhattan It's 1970 and jackbooted thugs are brutalizing protestors protesting war on a campus while the corrupt president does nothing.

Sounds like Kettling. Isn't that like illegal in a lot of places? (We lived it in Toronto at the G7 a decade ago)

Is it illegal? Maybe. But who's going to punish these people? The governor? The president? The police chief?

if there was a state that explicitly has kettling on the books as totally legal and in fact correct to do, it would be Texas

It's taught to police in their training on how to be a big piece of shit

Houston cops explicitly kettled protesters during the pandemic into an inescapable square with all exits blocked, then pushed in and arrested everyone like twenty minutes before they actually issued an official disperse order

there are no lawsuits because there are no grounds, it's a fascist state and the shitbag chief of police quit and went to miami where he was fired for being a shitbag

also the cops who faked a CI tip to get a warrant on a retired couple and then scared themselves because one cop started shooting so every cop started shooting, shooting straight through the tiny poorly constructed (this is not a dunk) house and hitting cops on the other side, causing a full execution of the retirees inside and justifying it because the retirees had like a dimebag of coke, all got off and so did the police chief

That faked CI tip story sounds interesting, where can I find more about it?

the detective was Goines, the raid itself was the Harding Street Raid

That training of course done by an ex IOF instructor

Not sure why you think it's illegal, straight up SOP in America

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Yeah, this happened often in my recent day.

They tried to kettle me several times but fucking pigs FAILED. Do you even cardio, bro?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah you're right. It's often discussed as "controversial" because as a tactic it can easily violate the human rights of people in the kettle. Apparently Toronto has banned the use of settling, but it looks like that's about it.

good lord, "guy looks like 10 lbs of shit stuffed into a 5 lb bag" is funny because it's an exaggeration, but that sweaty bag of hog diarrhea on the right nails it.

there's probably some guys that join so they can be operators or whatever then they get placed next to a guy who can't even run.
