Some points of note for those who defend the police or assume they're saints... 20:16 - Mar 22 with 18138 viewsmonytowbray

Some of these links may be worth a read if the distain towards collective authority seems to have came from no where or is unjust in anyone's eyes.

An organisation involved in continual cover-ups and "do as we say, not as we do" applications to the law/justice for decades.

Yes, not all police etc, but I'd argue good cops tend not to last long when they open their mouths, hence ACAB being a relevant catch-all phrase.

Really the responsibility is on the collective public to demand justice is not evaded and power is not abused when safeguards fail, which may or may not result in civil disobedience. That includes giving whistle blowers in every walk of live full protection against the state.

Food for thought, the more you know, etc.

*Not an extensive list, just things that I am aware of and could cite off the back of my mind.

Again, until someone can convince me paying money into the pockets of monopolised shareholders for unavoidable infrastructure for the greater good of society why should I budge?

Onus is on you, I've formed that opinion based on evidence and discussion, so provide the opposite.

Depends what you define as "theft", doesn't it?

Does Tesco steal land on the cheap and bank land for shops?
Do those Tesco shops then cause closure of local businesses which results in money for the community being stolen into a monopoly of 4-6 corporations with a handful of bosses?
Due to the damage done to the community and a need for work does Tesco then steal that labour at a minimum wage rate so people can't afford to shop anywhere but Tesco?
Do Tesco purposely delay payment to suppliers to steal interest for themselves?
Do Tesco continually steal money from the pockets of their suppliers by forcing lower and lower payments on goods?

In that regard, how should we even define "theft", let alone police it?


Okay. I see now you are a comedy creation. Just missing the Che Guevara picture ad your avatar.

It's your entire attitude which pisses people off. You never used to be so full on. Most people would agree with much of what you say but it's the delivery and attitude. I know you don't like it when people say that but you're like the sixth former who has suddenly realised there is a world out there and wants to rebel against something. Your something is literally everything. Then you come on here and present it as if no one has ever thought of it before and everyone except you is some sort of idiot.

Then, of course, the why always me routine when you inevitably get some pushback.

I await the hilarious reply in capitals and the cherry picked meme proving everything i've said is BS.

Is providing a list of links explaining why there may be resentment towards the police not doing that then?

How would you make that less preachy.

Theft is defined by section 1 of the 1968 Act as dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it.

if you want an honest answer - just simply read the title of this thread - it's taking a position immediately of challenging anyone who "defend the police" - no context about "in certain circumstances" - Just a confrontational position where you are trying to challenge those who defend the police.

Genuinely - before you reply, go and talk to some real, outside of your normal like-minded friends - (perhaps a family member) - show them this title and ask whether this would make them more or less likely to read any subsequent content with an open mind that as it's likely to be a balanced attempt to start a debate or educate people?

I know you won't do that but instead come back with some deflection or other - but you've asked and I've respond. Perhaps reflect before responding.

So three conclusions.

Deffo an old poster back with a grudge. Rent free.

You are someone who doesn't really know me at all, clearly.

You seem only capable of attacking me or how I make my point, rather than the point, therefore ZZZ.

And then you'll call me the rude one, despite whatever the f**k this nonsense you just posted is. I've seen people get punched in the pub for less.

Callis may take what many consider to be extreme positions, but perhaps he is just trying to move the argument forward because legitimate complaints about policing have been ignored for decades by the very people you now want him to go talk to?

Just my take.

That as may be, if you don’t pay for stuff and get caught, you’ll still be fined and arrested (if you don’t pay the fine) just like a common criminal. Even if your reasons for not paying are from a principled standpoint rather than just not wanting to pay like the majority of thieves.

You didn't answer. You've critiqued my post, I asked you what you'd do to make it less preachy. How does one raise evidence with an audience that's evidently here in droves.

I'm all ears, but you seem more interested in some sort of personal vendetta.

You're presenting yourself as a warrior for justice when in reality it's a convenient excuse because you just don't want to pay. All sorts of ethical choices you could make instead but you choose to steal. Assuming theft is also against your morals what justification do you have for stealing rather than shopping ethically? Buy directly from suppliers or buy from companies who do good with their profits.
