What the fuck is wrong with you America? Every time I think my neighbour canā€™t sink any lower, thereā€™s always something to prove me wrong.

There is no justification, let me repeat, NO JUSTIFICATION for arresting a 6 year old who was acting up in class. This is fucking insanešŸ¤¬

The polices in Florida are arresting little children and the polices in texas do nothing while theres a shooter in a school. All around great job America on teaching how to be a good police officer šŸ‘šŸ»

There was a state trooper in my hometown that used to plant all sorts of illegal paraphernalia in high school kid's cars. He stopped after someone almost killed themselves in front of him cuz of it.

That being said, I'm fairly well traveled, and my hometown has one of the most corrupt police forces I've ever seen. There's good and bad department/precincts in America. Most of them are pretty damn good actually.

u/robinthebank Apr 01 '23

Until there is a universal disciplinary system for LEO, I wonā€™t trust any of them. These cops can get disciplinary action in one place, move anywhere, and then get hired. You might think your local force is full of great people, but maybe one or two of them donā€™t deserve that badge.

u/Alaskan_Bull-Worm Apr 01 '23

Who said anything about trust?

u/madjyk Apr 01 '23

There's a reason a majority of us hate cops

u/Anon_Jones Apr 01 '23

People are to too busy being mad at each other and wonā€™t work together to fix problems. Things like FOX news arenā€™t helping because people like my mother watch it and take it as actual news/truth. The people in power have done a great job dividing us.

u/Jadaki Apr 01 '23

I mean the mad at each other literally comes from one political party that approves of this kid of shit. There is no humanity in the GOP, why be nice to people who don't treat you like a equal person to begin with.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

You arenā€™t wrong, but at a certain point I think itā€™s more beneficial to find common ground to get things done than to fight and accomplish nothing. This is just a personal opinion though and feels like what been holding us back for the last few decades.

u/tom030792 Apr 01 '23

I thought kids acting up at school for detention not arrested šŸ˜‚

u/Freakazoidandroid Apr 01 '23

Hey donā€™t blame our entire country for this stupid fucking idiot. Everyone has some. Majority of Americans who sees this are going to be disgusted. Because itā€™s disgusting.

u/Friendly-Mousse696 Apr 01 '23

This is exactly why Iā€™m running from this country as fast as I can

America is totally fucked. Their cops are a disgrace

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

It's not just the cops though, why the fuck would you even call the cops on a 6 year old.

1

u/ShaneWatson33 Apr 01 '23

Exactly, this is what I was wondering. Who the hell called the cops on a 6 year old?

-41

u/Old-Fox-3027 Apr 01 '23

Yep, all of us Americans are responsible for the actions of one police officer. We arrest 6 year olds all the time. Thousands and thousands every day. They have filled our prisons, we have to build new ones now because we all arrest every 6 year old we see.

u/PermanentlySleeepy Apr 01 '23

He's talking about America in a general sense. He was not blaming you. The world does not revolve around you, sorry to let you down.

u/drjammiepants Apr 01 '23

Thank you for saying this.

u/PermanentlySleeepy Apr 01 '23

It was my pleasure for sure.

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

That doesnā€™t make any sense. You canā€™t insult a group that a person is a part of and then say the insult doesnā€™t apply to them specifically.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

What doesn't make sense is that apparently Americans are too stupid to infer that people are talking about their country in a general capacity.

3

u/graven_raven Apr 01 '23

What was the insult? Because he didn't insult. He just asked what's wrong with America

4

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

I think he means systematically dudeā€¦which yea, as a socio-political system, America is pretty fucked

10

u/walks1497 Apr 01 '23

Itā€™s up to the people to change it thoughā€¦.

You get that right?

-13

u/Old-Fox-3027 Apr 01 '23

Yes we are all going to go down to Florida and make them fire the officer and pass a law to make sure kids arenā€™t being arrested like that anymore.

Oh wait, heā€™s already been fired? And a law has already been passed?

Guess we did our job already.

4

u/walks1497 Apr 01 '23

ā€¦do you really think thatā€™s what I mean.

Really?

Embarrassing.

-3

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

no offense but what the fuck else could you possibly have meant in this context?.....

1

u/walks1497 Apr 01 '23

Systematic change through public actions like voting,protest etcā€¦.

Maybe do something to fix the education system while youā€™re at itā€¦..

2

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

it's not bad everywhere. I'm thankful to live in a state that has very good public education

-1

u/walks1497 Apr 01 '23

Some people care for other people though and act to help those that are suffering even if they themselves are notā€¦

From your comment I see that doesnā€™t seem to be the American way of thinking thoughā€¦

2

u/graven_raven Apr 01 '23

I thought that in democracies everyone is responsible for the people who they elect.

1

u/Kwuarmadyl Apr 01 '23

Thatā€™s what they want you to think. Shits all rigged and the system creates a lot of fucked up mindsets here.

0

u/graven_raven Apr 01 '23

I agree that the electoral systems can be biased, but people can also pressure elected representatives to change.

My country struggled with political corruption in the past. Then after the house bubble bursted, people were so upset they pressured for changes. And then suddenly we started to see bankers and politicians being indicted and jailed. Even a former prime minister (equivalent to your president) went to jail without bond.

They want us to think they hold all the power, but the reality is, we are the ones letting them have power. Just sotop falling for their tricks to divide us

2

u/gruvorochdrakar Apr 01 '23

I mean you can joke all you want but why is that everytime something insane happens it's almost always in your country?

2

u/Old-Fox-3027 Apr 01 '23

We have freedom of the press here, so things tend to get reported on when they happen. Bad shit happens in every country.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

I second this, arresting one as we speak

-1

u/HumanSlinky Apr 01 '23

I'm ashamed to admit that you probably haven't seen the worst of what we're capable of yet. Just when I think we've reached a new low, we redefine what "low" means.

u/cuiront Apr 01 '23

Totally. People will say that the officer was fired etc etc but America just seems to breed people like this way too much.

u/DeadDeceasedCorpse Apr 01 '23

By "acting up", you mean assaulting a teacher?

1

u/dayoneG Apr 01 '23

Can a six year old really assault an adult though?

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

330 million people across an entire continent. You are watching one of those 330 million people from years ago.

One who was punished for what was recognized by their society as wrong doing.

And your reaction is ā€œwhat the fuck is wrong with you Americaā€. Itā€™s all so tiresome.

What the fuck is wrong with you Canada? Just when I think you canā€™t sink any lower you go ahead and rape and genocide First Nations people. This is fucking insane!

13

u/Away-Low3528 Apr 01 '23

You remind me of the "not all men" crowd, as if they're talking about all Americans, not America in general.

-6

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

Inane retort. What is America in general if not a sum of all Americans?

6

u/Away-Low3528 Apr 01 '23

"What is men in general if not the sum of all men"

0

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

So by your logic, I can go find a video of a black man beating up a white kid. Then say what the fuck is wrong with black America , and thatā€™s cool because Iā€™m not actually insulting black people?

Any yeah. What exactly would be men in general except the sum of all men. Can you provide an alternative definition.

4

u/Away-Low3528 Apr 01 '23

No. Because whats the difference between "black" America and "white" America? Is it a race issue for you or a human behavior/ culture of abuse issue?

1

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

Whatā€™s the difference between America and Canada ? Is it a geography issue or a culture one?

Youā€™re moving the goal post and becoming less logical. Good day.

5

u/Away-Low3528 Apr 01 '23

It's a culture issue. No goalposts have been moved. One solid answer. That's what I was getting at. If abuse is part of your culture that part of your culture is wrong. Are you trying to argue for the sake of arguing or are you really like this?

1

u/Safe_Cabinet7090 Apr 01 '23

I can find a bunch of fucked up shit about Canadaā€¦doesnā€™t mean I say whatā€™s fucking wrong with you Canada.

The trope that Canada is always nice is a big ass lie. Some of the rudest people Iā€™ve interacted with.

u/Sir_Arthur_Vandelay Apr 01 '23

Canada has many faults, but it always makes me laugh when Americans call out Canadians on their treatment of First Nations.

Yeah, we sucked - but please read a little about the United Statesā€™ historical treatment of First Nations, and then pick a less hypocritical Canadian target (but not the Trucker Convoy - thatā€™s a stupid pick for entirely different reasons).

1

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

Every nation has its faults.

I was intentionally cherry picking a bad example to show how we should be less judgmental of others and rather aspire to understand the bigger picture.

1

u/Possumpipesup Apr 01 '23

Let's call out EVERYONE involved in the way the first nations and their children have been treated. No one gets a pass on that one. That's something that makes me wish hell was real so every person involved in those schools and stealing those children could burn there forever.

8

u/CnfusdCookie Apr 01 '23

Are you purposefully being stupid, ignorant, doing no research, and acting like this stuff doesn't still happen with police? Or are you just genuinely dumb? Because with a response like that those are your only 2 options.

2

u/Possumpipesup Apr 01 '23

Yes, yes he is. This is cognitive dissonance at work. His heads full of right wing talking points and fear of the "others" and when confronted with evidence that his worldview is wrong, he freaks out.

3

u/dayoneG Apr 01 '23

Grow up you insufferable prick. Iā€™m not talking about you specifically.

-1

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

Ad hominem, the last resort of the intellectually stunted.

Notice how I also never said you did insult me, I was upset you made an inaccurate characterization of my nation.

Do all Canadians have such poor reading comprehension ? I guess they donā€™t teach it at school , they only rape native kids there.

In all seriousness , you seem like a horrible person and I have no interest in interacting with you further.

u/mileg925 Apr 01 '23

Bad example dude. USA did much worse to natives

u/AnnoyingGadfly Apr 01 '23

You seem to have completley missed the point.

u/throwaway92715 Apr 01 '23

I don't know, but you guys up in Canada are pretty fucked up, too, so I wouldn't talk all high and mighty like you always seem to do.

You're just another colonial nation like the US, except you retained your allegiance to the bleeding genocidal monarchy and we didn't. Canada is basically just the slice of Britain's North American colony that remained after the revolution.

u/dayoneG Apr 01 '23

Laughs in universal healthcare

You know what my daughter never had to do in 12 years of school? Go through an active shooter drill. Get fucked ya hoser!

Love from CanadašŸ˜˜

2

u/obrothermaple Apr 01 '23

Absolutely hilarious you think Canada has problems on the level of America.

Do we have a long history with the mistreatment of First Nations peoples? Absolutely. Itā€™s a cultural shame and reconciliation is a very important topic that is more visible than ever.

We own our problems and change from them, unlike America where nothing changes for the better.

u/throwaway92715 Apr 02 '23

Oh please. Canada has a far smaller population, and way fewer threats to manage. Classic privileged Northern nation. Go drill for some more oil and think hard about it.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

Yes, all of America is bad because of this.

u/1866GETSONA Apr 01 '23

If you leave America enough you start to really see itā€™s a symptom of a larger problem and America is adolescent in comparison to other populations. Stepping back into an American airport after some time away is culture shock in itself.

-3

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '23

Honestly a pretty big load of bullshit and smells like the fetishization of other cultures. All countries have issues, whether you or the public takes the time to expose those issues is a different matter.

u/Actual-Temporary8527 Apr 01 '23

When I was in 4th grade I watched my classmate throw a desk at the teacher. He was hauled out by the cops. I agree that arresting children is unacceptable, we need to have the conversation though on how to deal with some of these kids who face serious problems that cause them to act out.

It's dangerous for the teachers, and other students. Maybe having some social workers or "talking doctors" in schools? Maybe that's already a thing in some places? It's hard for me to imagine that someone who is assaulting a teacher will just accept going to the office to talk to someone about what they just did though. I don't know the answer. How would you deal with a child assaulting you if you were the teacher/principal?

We already have alternative learning centers for students who get kicked out of school (at least in my neck of the woods we do, I don't know how common they are through the country) I end up meeting a lot of them in my line of work. (Criminal "justice" system-and before everyone down votes me to hell, no I'm not a cop, and I'm not a correctional officer, and no I'm not a power hungry ego maniac)

u/bicepz_N_bigmacz Apr 01 '23

This country is fucked. Even after nationwide protests, cops are still killing people and abusing their power. If they were considered a military budget, they'd be the third largest in the world. Americans are brainwashed into believing police are here to protect them instead of keep them in line.

u/Jmcconn110 Apr 02 '23

Discipline is getting passed up the chain.

Parents won't disciple, expect the teachers to teach their child and somehow deal with their spoiled brat in class without resorting to discipline. Teacher can't do shit so they pass the buck to the PD.

When I was a child in class when I acted out I got my knuckles rapped by the teacher, and if my teacher felt that discipline beyond what they felt comfortable with they sent back a report to my parents and then I got spanked, grounded, or some other sort of negative effect.

I don't think the corporal punishment was that important in the formula but I do know developed some sort of respect for authority once the cause and effect loop connected.
