Imagine driving around, probably with a punisher logo somewhere on your uniform or gear, and then posting your big bust of… store brand groceries

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

No one else has pointed it out yet but this cop also somehow got himself a $90k Hellcat for his patrol car.

Criminalising poverty is the most American dystopia ever. We can all help.
Thank you for adding this. I’ll see if I can sticky it to the top for anyone who needs to see it.
If you see someone stealing food... No you didn't
Stealing food doesn't mean you're immoral, it means society is immoral.
No. It means your stealing food. Some people just like to fucking steal.
Excluding mental disorders. I do not think anybody likes to steal, atleast not initially. They may have normalized it, even to the point where it may become second nature, or a habit. If there is a lot of such peope, society have failed them a long time ago.
I do not think anybody likes to steal
The rich. It's their entire lifestyle.
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.
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.
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 weren't even stealing name brand groceries! Lots of those are store brand products.
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
Inspector Javert over here.
Fuck all the grocery stores. They're stealing from US
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.
Is lemmy really promoting stealing 🤧?
Over starving to death? Absolutely.
Dang y'all have steal passes? I wish I could steal me some bitches after all mans gotta eat sum poon!
Just because somebody is stealing food doesn't mean they have to steal to live. Some people are just assholes.
Just because somebody stole food because they're an asshole doesn't mean that everybody who steals food is an asshole.
We don't actually know which is true here, but we do know that it's far more likely someone is stealing groceries because the wealth inequality horrorshow has grown even more perverse in the last year.
Nevertheless, rather than defending an unnamed person from potentially reprehensible police, you defended the police and an unnamed retail store from a potentially reprehensible person.
I hope you've got shares in a grocery chain because it would be deeply pitiful if you weren't even doing this out of self-interest.
Call me crazy but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt before assuming the worst when I don't know their situation.
Bro, this is the internet. None of it matters.
Your mom should really be limiting your screen time.
I mean you're being one right now.

If only you could stack "wage theft" on the back of a dodge for a social media photo op and brag about how the criminal behind it is being refused bail.
