Imagine driving around, probably with a punisher logo somewhere on your uniform or gear, and then posting your big bust of… store brand groceries
No one else has pointed it out yet but this cop also somehow got himself a $90k Hellcat for his patrol car.
Wasn't the Punisher's whole MO shitkicking corupt cops?
No, that was his MO with cops. He shitkicked anyone who was a threat to civilians.
I care less WHY they stole the food. I just find it distasteful when the cops post these "look how bad ass we are" social media posts. Crime, no matter why it was committed, should not be used as someones time to celebrate or the special time before the trial to convince the public that the suspect is guilty via Facebook,etc. Least of all by the group of people who do the arresting.
It's because the police view themselves as a "team" that is basically 'playing' against the other team....everyone else. To them, this is a win and shows how good they are. It's quite disturbing how indoctrinated they are and almost nobody realizes it.
They deleted the Tweet and released a halfhearted apology.
As is tradition
Now he just sits back and waits on his promotion. Nailed the asshole part of the evaluation
Having to steal food is super tiresome. Would rather not have to, but I've never felt bad about doing it. Imagine that. The normalization of the degradation is my issue personally. Putting people on one side of a moral line based on bullshit economic factors that for the one stealing are a kin to the winds of fate.
"A female" seems kinda dehumanizing, like talking about an animal or words spoken by an incel.
That caught my eye too, but I think it might be a reflection of how law enforcement speaks “a female suspect” “a male detainee” etc.
Por que no los dos?
An incel pig running their Twitter hardly seems a stretch.
I get that they say "a female" because that's how they "identify" people via police reports and such. But I still cringe so bad when I hear someone say "a female".
Female what? Deer? Shark? Dog?
That's part of it, but police jargon is meant to dehumanize suspects. They could just as easily say man or woman but those words imply person-hood. While animals can be male or female they can't be a man or woman. Male-Black-46 works just as well to describe an animal in a study as a human on the street.
all cops are bastards tho.
They weren't even stealing name brand groceries! Lots of those are store brand products.
Satire can't even keep up with these bastards.
Is lemmy really promoting stealing 🤧?
yes. fuck the supermarkets
I'm worried about how everyone thinks these items are food necessities. Clearly she desperately needed that fancy Febreeze, those air fresheners, and that cheese dip...
I like how they turned away the lube like no one would notice
If you see someone stealing food... No you didn't
Stealing food doesn't mean you're immoral, it means society is immoral.
If they're stealing it to eat, sure.
If they're stealing it so they can sell warm coat meat down the local flat roof pub and spend the proceeds on heroin, then... you probably also want to pretend you didn't see it because you're not paid enough to be stabbed by a junkie with a used syringe.

Thank you for adding this. I’ll see if I can sticky it to the top for anyone who needs to see it.
Dang y'all have steal passes? I wish I could steal me some bitches after all mans gotta eat sum poon!
Fuck all the grocery stores. They're stealing from US
They also stole condoms, the ones they harm the most is their direct neighborhood when cheap stores leave the area and the remaing stores shift the burden of lost merchandise onto the paying customers.
Condoms, which should be free.
No person lost their job or saw a difference in price due to this amount of theft. Stop spouting corporate propaganda.
I think the person you responded to pointed out the condoms because they believe food-insecure people shouldn't have sex. Which is silly--you don't always have a choice in sex (not everyone's relationships are healthy). And if you're going to have sex, preventing unwanted pregnancy and disease is the responsible choice.
Condoms?? That's where you're upset? This person knows they shouldn't/can't bring more ppl into this world rn.
Condoms should be free
Inspector Javert over here.
The food i understand but not the rest. Food has become so damn expensive these days.
There are other necessities than food that people can't afford.
