Uh-huh. So, in your fantasy world where cops don’t exist, who intervenes when someone inevitably commits a crime?
I’m sure you’ve got some version of Social Workers with Enforcement PowersTM in mind, but all that really amounts to is Reformed CopsTM. So, just admit ACAB is your anger-fueled generalization/oversimplified solution to a complex problem and say you want police reform, like the rest of us sane people.
In America, by far and away the next most commonly spoken language is Spanish. I could see a requirement making it so schools are made to teach Spanish, but I find it hard to see requiring them to teach any other language. Arguably, this might be better managed on the State level, since certain languages may be more common in different states.
That’s democracy, not anarchy.
This is what happens when you elect a leader who gives the Religious Right what they want. When you’ve got a large segment of your population who is culturally delusional and can’t deal with reality, and you give them political power, they destroy your civilization in order to preserve their backwards, primitive way of life. These people are the bane of every society. They prey upon people’s distress and fears, and sell them snake oil and prayers in exchange for tearing down the only real hope you had.
This is day 2,963 in my fight against the existential boredom….
Yes, you can. Well, I should say it’s possible. Maybe not for everyone, but some people can do it. For example, I still appreciate and read Ender’s Game, even though Orson Scott Card is a homophobic prick—I just won’t buy a new copy of it, so I know I’m not giving him money.
UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES!
You don’t understand—the want to be out black-bagging immigrants and beating people up. That’s what they signed up for. A cushy, boring TSA gig is valuable time not spent keeping the nation White and taking out their aggression on “the enemy.”

Yeah, yeah. Sarcasm is what you use when you don’t have an argument. Buh-bye.
You once again, predictably, miss the point. I’ll take your lack of denial of my accusations of you as an admission of guilt. You don’t want equality; you’re just playing the gender politics game. Pathetic.
The only thing concerned her is gender, so I don’t see how intersectionality is relevant. And last I checked, women are the majority demographic compared to men.
Regardless, I’m pointing out a double standard and if you really claim to support equal treatment between genders, you’d do well to support that complaint. But you care more about virtue signaling than standing behind your claimed principles, so you’ll understand if I don’t give your objection much weight.
You sound like you took Gender Issues 101 and gave yourself a gold star.
Upvoted because this is an unpopular opinion, but there are very good reasons for it being unpopular. Kids who are raised to think they’re “losers” if they don’t get 1st place grow up to be highly insecure and over-competitive.
Except it’s not.
You’ve spotted some surface similarities, but they’re most likely coincidental or unconscious influences at best. To my knowledge the creators never said Daredevil was a major influence.
Can you imagine if we looked at every pattern of bad behavior in women and blamed it on femininity? Oh, wait, we have and still do to some extent, it’s just now that’s rightly called out as “sexist as fuck.”
Still waiting for society to learn you can be sexist towards men too, sadly.
The article doesn’t say he had a trial. Where are you getting this information?
Accused of murdering a security officer. No trial, and such accusations are often used by tyrannical regimes to justify political killings.
“Good riddance?” Hardly. I hope you’re not a supporter of the Iranian government. Because that makes you an enemy of its people.
All of those instances are examples of either cops not doing their jobs or the law being imperfect. Problems like that will always exist but that just means we need to focus on fixing them, by changing laws and instituting better systems for policing the police. Getting rid of police as an institution is pointless and fixes nothing.
I agree we need reforms in both law and police departments, as well as a better institution than “Internal Affairs” to keep cops in line. More essentially, we need to change the cultural problem at the heart of police corruption. Regular psychological evaluations, deescalation training, and an active stance against authoritarian personalities in police need to be adopted.
