Why do all their jackets look three sizes too big?
I mean, something has to counterbalance their headwear.

Ah yes, that’s exactly what I said.
That’s all well and good, but can we talk about proper use of this meme template?
Whew. OK man. Have a nice day.
Wow what a dodge. It doesn’t matter the extent of the trauma or whether it’s the worst trauma they have had. You are minding your own business, have done nothing wrong, then the cops show up with a random accusation and “need” to put you in cuffs while they determine if you are a threat. Comply or violence. It’s not right.
And I’m saying, even if they are polite, they are polite because I comply. If I don’t really want to be in handcuffs right then - doesn’t matter. If I’ve got an important appointment or was about to leave to pick up my child from school before police arrived to “make sure I’m not a threat” - doesn’t matter.
Your options at that point, even as someone who has done nothing wrong are comply, or expect violence. THAT is inherently traumatic.
I don’t disagree with you about this specific case, I was reacting to your “people put too much stock in being cuffed.” Removing another person’s bodily autonomy under direct threat of violence is just another day for police, but for the rest of us it’s a pretty fucking traumatic thing to be on the other end of.
Perhaps if you don’t understand what police officers go through, I could see it.
I understand they can pick a different job if it’s too much for them, and that they knew what the job entailed when they picked the career in the first place.
I always felt like people put too much stock into being handcuffed or not
Too much stock? Your bodily autonomy is being removed, under overt threat of further violence if you resist. It’s humiliating if seen in that condition because of assumptions people make. For someone who has done nothing wrong why the fuck wouldn’t they be indignant?
I’ve been handcuffed before, In a similar but not nearly as severe circumstance.
Me too, and I knew that they at least had a reason to think I was up to no good (I was not), it’s not the same as literally minding your own business in your own home and having them barge in. Not really apples to apples to this situation here.
But we gave Palestine a table to sit at in the UN! /s
I wonder if the cops threatened this guy with their weapons while he burned to death like they did that other poor soul.
My favorite was when she clearly (very clearly IMO) seemed about to say “…but this motherfucker…” and restrained herself.
Surprised the US didn’t block it somehow.
Is anyone even surprised anymore?
I realize that, but his objection is predicated on the “entire point” of a bun being to avoid greasy hands. I contend that is not the entire point, and that the brioche bun is not inferior with regard to the “entire point” of a bun.
It’s an entirely different level of mess you’d get on your hands eating a burger without a bun vs with a brioche bun. And anyhow, how are you getting all the fixins to stay in place without a bun? THAT is the primary purpose of the bun, IMO.
Stupidity doesn’t adequately explain the number of times they have done this. I’m surprised it’s even a headline anymore.

Good call. Guess I’m going to have to go with this bit of awareness again. 😬
Those kids just need to condemn Hamas and then it will all stop, right?
Hmm that’s a great point, I wasn’t really considering the interrelationships there. I see where you are coming from now.
In that hypothetical I think my comment would stand either way.
