  • The vehicle, which had its blue lights on, was trapped on Waterloo Bridge on Wednesday morning due to congestion caused by Just Stop Oil, Met Police said. Pictures and footage from the scene shared on social media show queues of traffic in both directions on the busy bridge.

    The climate campaigners have hit back at the force’s handling of the incident and claimed it was the Met police blocking the ambulance so they could “blame it on a protest march going in the other direction”.

    The protesters weren't the one blocking the ambulance. The cars were, and the cops didn't do anything to alleviate that so the ambulance could get through the cars and to the protesters who would've let it through anyway.

    You should read the entire article when you try to do a gotcha.

    other set of people on bikes

    Sure. The power dynamic "doesn't exist".

    You're a fucking moron.

  • Doesn't make it any less true or alarming

  • Sarcasm.

  • And protesters always swiftly move to let emergency vehicles through, because they know not to block actually useful vehicles like ambulances and fire engines

  • I figured that was happening, which is why I updated the title to explicitly state it's a Critical Mass event

  • I'm with you on immediate abolition of police and dismantling the carceral system, but "figure something else out" sounds very hand-wave-y. Community initiatives, economic reform, and vastly improved and accessible mental health resources will go a long way towards drastically reducing crime, maybe even eliminating many forms of it, but there does need to be some form of framework for investigation and redressal of the rare crimes that do occur

  • A lot of them know but choose to look away because "mUh FrEeDoM"

  • *all

    FTFY

  • That's because, and all together now...

    All Cops Are Bastards

  • ...the post is intended to portray the difference in trains -- the logical, excellent, and much preferable alternative to cars. They're excellent everywhere else but absolute shite in the supposed pinnacle of the free market.

  • In an anti car community. Considering the US proudly proclaims itself the champion of the free market, yeah, it's only fitting to use Amtrak as the example.

  • China does have a superb high-speed rail network, you gotta give them that

  • Switch to Signal. It's not like there's anything to learn, the UI isn't all that different from WhatsApp

  • The left whiskers are there, the portrait mode filter thought they were part of the cat tree and applied massive levels of bokeh to blur them out
