NahGet out of here with this fuck ALL cops mentality. I have family members who are cops and they are good, hard working, family oriented people. Not all cops are total assholes, like many here on Era like to think.
FUCK! ALL! COPS!

I always thought the ACAB was more about the organization than the actual cops.Get out of here with this fuck ALL cops mentality. I have family members who are cops and they are good, hard working, family oriented people. Not all cops are total assholes, like many here on Era like to think.
Its not hate speech. I sure that you probably have some weird dream of litigating the Nazi's defense based on your insistence to frame it as simply hate speech and thus protected by that precedent but its not and I'd spend every dollar I had to fight that. The precedent you quoted is specifically referring to an actual speech at a Klan Rally, it has no bearing here.
The moment you put a gun in your hand and approach someone with it brandished and intending to use it is the moment it stops being just hate speech.

Oh fuck off, you're out of your depth and you try to frame the point that it's extremely difficult to litigate hate speech in America as "defending Nazis" as some last ditch attempt to come out on top?
Tell me why there aren't a swarm of lawyers working pro-bono to sue the fuck out of groups that do exactly what you just described? Oh, because that's not how hate crimes work.
You so clearly don't understand how hate laws in America function or are litigated. There is a reason nobody has been using your personal interpretation of the laws, because your personal interpretations don't exist. You think you've somehow managed to find a magic bullet to put away fascists and white supremacists?
Shit, you better get on the phone and start calling every single legal scholar in America, because you just radically altered the core understanding and processes of litigating situations where hate groups like this make public protests.
You have zero clue what you're talking about, you don't understand how the law functions, how it's been applied in the past, and how it's being applied now based on the legal precedent that has been defined from SCOTUS cases.
The Brandenburg test remains the standard used for evaluating attempts to punish inflammatory speech
Any time there is what we consider to be "hate speech", this test is used to determine if the speech becomes punishable and not covered under the 1st amendment.
That precedent that you think doesn't apply here is used in every single situation in America where there is a legal argument trying to determine if hate speech is protected or not. Every. Single. Case. And you think it doesn't apply because of your own personal legal definitions that nobody uses?
I think the root of the problem sits much further upstream than the cops. The biggest problem is the corruption at the federal government level, which trickles down to everything below it. I think if you get rid of Trump and corrupt politicians, better policies and practices might trickle down. Wishful thinking, I know.
Right? Trump didn't exist in Antebellum. Trump wasn't president during the Million Man March. And Trump wasn't making legislation back when Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin were killed. Trump is a symptom of much bigger problems. Of course him and his ilk need to never have a job with more responsibility than a sanitation worker but just as at fault and just as necessary to challenge are the people in our day to day who outright oppress minorities or naively ignore/are apathetic to our plight as disenfranchised people. Trump wouldn't be in power if people's regressive, unempathetic family members weren't treated with kid gloves because it's those family members who vote in bigots, and throw away resumes with "ghetto" names, or preach about how sinful abortion is on Sundays, or police neighborhoods they think are populated with "animals". Trump wouldn't be in power if there weren't people to give him that power. People love the "Racism will die when all the old people do" fallacy and too many who spew it use it as an internal justification for their own laziness in doing the critical individual work right now to actually help create a progressive society.I fail to see how ridding Washington of Trump will correct the widespread infestation of white supremacists in local police forces. What legislative remedy is there to stop a Nazi from joining the police force, killing an unarmed black person, and escaping punishment because of media propaganda that sympathizes with the Nazi and assassinates the character of the deceased; a prosecutor that declines to bring charges or overcharges if they do; and a jury of peers comprised of racists who side with the cop if he's brought to trial.
