Well obviously I think everyone involved had the worst day of their lives that day, the victims far worse than others.

You don't think it's a little weird to centre the killer like that?  It's not like cops and media don't have a long track record of treating white violent spree killers like damaged little birds.

He said the killer had a bad day.  I don't find that a controversial comment because it's obviously factually correct.  People are reading all sorts of stuff into this.  I honestly have no idea what the intentions of the cop were by that comment and neither do most people.  I just assume him saying he had a bad day he means he had a bad day.  Maybe something in his life happened and he snapped?  He had his "Falling Down" moment.  People will get on someone's back for anything these days.  What a stupid culture we live in.

Yeah you can't even trivialize the murder of 8 people as a bad day on the part of the killer without people getting in your face about it.

Don't you get tired of this "dumb contrarian" bit?

But you're assuming he was trivializing it.  My problem is in the assumption.  Listen to what he said.  I honestly don't understand what's wrong with what he said.  The sheep are just jumping on him, it's insane.  And I don't even like cops!

Would you like me to be a sheep and just go along with what everyone else says and not make a fuss if I disagree?  I guess I need to become a cog in the machine and get with the official program or else get nailed to a cross.  I bet half the people tweeting their disgust haven't even heard the clip.

If you don't understand why people have an issue with what he said, maybe you should try to understand it instead of reflexively defending the cop. you might learn something.

It's obvious he was targeting Asians.  And it's obvious he was targeting women.  Both of those things are clear.

It can't be healthy to be this obsessed.

Lol, you should talk.  I would think that the ACAB guy, more than anybody else, would be offended at the cops doing feats of performative virtue signaling to "woke-wash" their shitty image.  I would think that the ACAB guy, more than anybody else, would be offended by the blatantly illegal misuse of police resources to harass people for their social media posts. Must be a real moral quandry for you.



It's also strange to blame neoliberal austerity measures on police's inability or unwillingness to investigate crimes against women when you see the same thing in other places where the cops haven't lost any funding. IIRC the Globe and Mail did a whole series on how Canadian police agencies DGAF about sexual assault cases.

Police funding isn't the only issue, and probably not even the biggest one.   Articles on the topic I saw last week indicated that while r*pe prosecutions in England and Wales had plummeted over the past few years, they've actually increased in Scotland.

Lots of places (Canada, England, the US) are probably grappling with similar issues in the court system.  Our courts are clogged, it takes too long to bring cases to trial, prosecutors don't have time or resources to spend on all the cases being brought to them, and they focus their efforts on the cases with the best chance of convictions.  Lots of cases get pleaded out or just plain dismiss.  Nazir Afzal, who is a big name in UK legal circles-- we talked about him a lot during the Rotherham scandal thread-- said "r*pe cases are the hardest to prosecute, but this just looks like giving up" in reference to the plunge in prosecutions.  I also saw a claim that the Crown Prosecution Service has put an organizational focus on increased winning percentages, and that's another reason why they bring only the strongest r*pe cases to trial.  And, that police are less likely to spend their own resources doing much investigation on cases they think the CPS is just going to dismiss anyway.

The fact you think I'm defending the cops here instead of simply mocking your monomaniacal obsession with woke culture shows your brain has well and truly been infested with a terminal case of TERFworms.

FTR, I think it's gross when cops try to pretend to give a **** about oppressed communities when they are the tools of oppression, but I also think it's utterly moronic to tie woke-signalling with the police's unwillingness to investigate crimes against women or pretend it represents a huge drain on police resources that would otherwise go to something useful.

That's because a lot of cops are rapists and serial wife-beaters.

British cops attack a peaceful protest and meet resistance, claim officers are seriously injured, claims are amplified by the right wing media. A few days later, they quietly withdraw the claims.

These officers should probably be fired if proven guilty, not simply reprimanded.  This is what defending the police should look like, because the RCMP can take over the jurisdiction:

Good work, McDog, you're a credit to the force!

If the cops were wasting their time on a political cause you didn't approve of, I am 100% sure you wouldn't let them off with a  "meh, it's not a significant drain on police resources so whatever."

When Sheriff Joe was wasting money and man-hours searching for "Obama's real birth certificate", progressives were literally shitting their pants with rage, even though it wasn't a significant drain on department resources.   "Why is Joe Arpaio going on a 'fact-finding mission' to Hawaii" when there are hundreds of untested **** kits in Maricopa County?" is the sort of things progressives were saying.   And I am 100% certain that if the UK cops were marching in a Blue Lives Matter parade or similar, rather than driving around in their "Being offensive is an offense" van or harassing people for posting unwoke things on Twitter, progressives would be equally enraged.  Progressives hate police resources being wasted on political causes... unless it's a political cause they support.
