  • I have questions about how necessary it was to fire at the woman in the first place.

    •if she’s in an empty lobby with her and her son, and two security officers, could they not have tried to negotiate and get the kid away first?

    •Did security actually see “materials consistant with manufacturing explosives” inside her trenchcoat before firing, or is that something they alleged after they shot a 7yo in the head. There were no explosives found on her body or at home.

    I know it’s hard to judge these situations, but I feel like there could have been a resolution where the kid doesn’t sacrificed by everyone involved.





  • That would have to be negotiated in the Police Union contracts. Same reason they can’t fire pedo teachers immediately, they are contractually obligated to keep paying them until they are investigated or found guilty.

    Most of these cops “retire” to end the internal investigation and keep their benefits, then decide to “unretire”, and get hired in the next town with a clean record.

    The police have one of the strongest unions in America, and almost no one bats an eye. But let Starbucks employees try to unionize and you’ll hear how greedy and corrupt unions are.

    I could see cryptobros and the “investing” subs spending a lot on this. They were already buying tons of awards to hype themselves up.

    Any unironic circlejerk cult will by buying these and pinning them on each other’s chest, same as the dumbass awards.

    I think reddit knows their target audience pretty well; Rubes. That’s why they let all the toxic “stock”, crypto-scam and political extremist subs stay open until the media starts writing stories about them. Gullible idiots spend a lot of money trying to make their opinions look smart and popular.

    This will make Reddit a lot of money in the short-term, but probably push more legitimate/casual users away as these “premium upvotes” will surely effect the algorithm and push more nonsense into people’s feeds.

    Now that i think about it, this will probably help advertisers and political groups astroturf all of reddit.
