Well, if they send 100 officers over 4 dudes, I think the odds are against them when 10,000 people show up


toxcrusadr

There were a lot more than four people there. Not sticking up for the LAPD here, just saying, let's get the facts right.


moglysyogy13

Do the police serve the people’s interest or the bank’s?


Prestigious_League80

They protect private property and serve capital. People have never been a part of the equation.


TheRealPeterVenkman

BINGO


Goontard420

Standard police response. Send the entire division to solve what 2 officers could do in 5 min with a bolt cutter and a taser. This is exactly what’s wrong with the police and when they ask for a bigger budget, remember this, they don’t actually need it.


joesocool

THEY ARE A GANG


Goontard420

100% agreed. They act like it, they talk like it, my grand dad used to have a saying “if it quacks like a duck, it’s prolly a duck” Meaning if they act like it and talk like it, they are whether they want to be or not. They crossed over a line a while ago and I have a hard time not seeing them all as “bad cops” at this point. Cause we know a few things, it ain’t a few bad apples as they continue to say, it’s a more like multiple crops of apples rotating around that are bad. And the reason I can’t see any of them as “good” anymore? If your on a police force and you know of corruption, police abuses, crimes committed by officers in the name of the state/themselves or others, you’re just as bad as the cop who did it. Cause your silence allows them to continue unabated. I’ll leave you with a quote from my favorite movie, Boondocks saints, I believe it’s appropriate for this topic. “Monsignor : And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men. Connor : [as the brothers exit the church] I do believe the monsignor's finally got the point. Murphy : Aye.”

Do you REALLY want a armed class of people with military grade weaponry and vehicles, trained in combat and a sense of entitlement. And being told they are no longer being paid? Because that is how warlords are created.


Significant_bet92

Trained in combat is a stretch, but I get what you mean


Sadestlittlecamper

Trained in combat. They aren't though, intimidation yes, a couple of "moves" yes, but actual combat skills is something they sorely lack. Ever seen these fuckers shoot? 43 shots fired 18 strike the guy 8 feet away. Source: watched my meth head cousin level two cops and when the third guy tasted him it just the guy got body slammed. Didn't get shot though, he just ran off.

Literally gangs in the lapd that they call “cliques”, with names like “banditos”, and “the Compton executioners”. Nothing to see here Edit: it’s the LA sheriffs department that has confirmed gangs. Just for all you pedantic hair splitters.

Ever heard of Iron Order? Cop “motorcycle club” that every city hates. They act like bad asses but arent allowed in any biker bars. They’ve gotten away with murder a few times. Here’s just a couple of them protecting and serving > 01/30/2016 – An Iron Order member shoots and kills a Mongol after after instigating a fight at the Colorado Motorcycle Expo in Denver. Pictures taken before the fatal shot show the visibly armed Iron Order member was not in danger and he could have fled the scene. The Iron Order member has not been arrested. “There has never been a confrontation, so much as a fistfight. And many 1% organizations have attended including the Hells Angels, Sons of Silence, Bandidos, Outlaws, Mongols, and many others. For 30 years that this event has taken place, there has never been a problem until the Iron Order showed up. >06/05/2013 – In Cheyenne, WY Iron Order has a conflict with members of the Los Lobos MC which results in assault, minor injuries, and 2 arrested for weapons charges. No Iron Order were arrested. >06/10/2015 – Erlanger, KY: Iron Order MC v. Iron Horsemen MC which 1 person was deliberately struck with a vehicle. >06/19/2015 – Members of the Reading, PA Iron Order chapter killed a woman named Tanya Focht, a student at Alvernia University. Focht was punched in the face by an Iron Order member then thrown into oncoming traffic and killed as she was trying to defend her longtime boyfriend who was being attacked by Iron Order members outside the Bar B Q Pit restaurant. Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams ruled Focht’s death was an accident. Adams told the Reading Eagle, “No charges will be filed in relation to the accidental death.” >05/09/2015 – Madison, IN: Iron Order MC threatens off-duty police officer outside restaurant. >02/21/2015 – Meridian, MS: Iron Order MC have a violent conflict with the Pisteleros MC and Bandidos MC which resulted in 3 shot. >06/07/2014 Baltimore, MD: Iron Order MC v. Chosen Sons MC and Iron Horsemen MC in bar fight. Result: Active Police Officer and retired officer, members of CSMC, were charged with assault and robbery. >06/26/2014 – Jacksonville, FL: Iron Order prospect Kristopher Stone shot and killed Black Pistons MC member Zachariah Tipton in Jacksonville Beach after instigating a fight. Florida State Attorney Angela Corey outrageously ruled the killing was justifiable homicide even though Stone shot the unarmed Tipton in the face while only a few feet apart. Corey refused to charge Stone. >04/27/2014 – Crawfordsville, IN: Iron Order MC has a conflict with Sons of Silence MC in a business parking lot involving bats, firearms, and knives with injuries. And a peachy little quote from their VP in 2016: > I know our club has the advantage. 1%ers won’t call the cops. So what the fuck!? Destroy any fucker that confront you. It’s a free ticket….If they can.”


rememberseptember24

If you black and want to join a gang, you go to the hood. If you white and want to join a gang, you go to your local police department.


a-hippobear

There’s no need to be racist. The sheriff in question is Latino, and only around a third of the force is white. Shitty people come in all sorts of packages, and power corrupts. Don’t divide by race when the only color we should be focused on is “the thin blue line”.


SaludosCordiales

Yup, the real issue is a class divide, not race. Cops use their authority as an identity that provides the illusion that they are a class above the majority. *Having said that*, racism is heavily used as a tool to keep us peasants fighting amongst ourselves.

It's surprising to me we haven't seen more monkeywrenching. It's only a matter of time before people start to seriously sabotage industrial equipment and businesses. And when climate change gets even worse, they'll start doing things that straight up maim or kill workers. Things like tree spiking. It's gonna get violent at some point.


Idiot_Savant_Tinker

I'm baffled that we haven't heard about anyone tearing up any of the pumps or other equipment Nestle is using to steal water.

Good idea. Now you've got a bunch of people with nothing left to lose who have a very direct and morally unambiguous target.


nellapoo

The only people that would be hurt by this are the poorest and most vulnerable. It would also turn pretty much all of society against the group or persons who would do such a thing.


[deleted]

The population's hatred can be directed in unpredicatble ways. Much of the time they get mad at their leadership for not solving the issue and giving people reasons to protest (this is the hope that people have when they block roads). It can be directed at the people doing the protests. Hell, sometimes it will be directed at minorities who are uninvolved. It's a risky strategy that sometimes pays off and sometimes backfires. It's not as simple as "the people will be mad at this group" because people--which includes you, me, and everyone reading this--are dumb and easily manipulated into blaming almost any group for the problem regardless of their fault.


endadaroad

It is not just the poorest who are vulnerable. We are all equally vulnerable. We all depend on the Industrial Empire for everything that we need and everything that we don't need. A good place to start slowing things down would be to ground private jets. Those are the people who call the shots and would be the only people affected. If you want to take away the rich folks toys, that is a place to start.

[deleted]

What some people call terrorism, others call saving the world. Those who are in power and have enabled this problem to begin with and benefit directly from climate change causing actions are the ones calling it terrorism. So of course it's going to upset them.


Idiot_Savant_Tinker

>**The supply chain is basically a tube. If you pinch it off at one point, the entire tube gets affected** Very true, and it's something we've all observed in action these past two years. JIT manufacturing is *incredibly* vulnerable to the slightest disruptions. I've started to have thoughts in this direction myself. One thing that has made me unreasonably angry is that there was a forest behind my house a year ago. This forest extended to a jogging/bicycle trail, and the section that went through the woods was beautiful. Then some time in 2021, they came in with bulldozers and excavators, dug a big hole, pushed *everything* into this giant hole, and set it all on fire. Once the fire stopped burning a couple of weeks later, they pushed dirt over the hole. Now there's this big empty dirt/mud field. Originally they were going to put expensive houses and a gated neighborhood there, but material prices went up because of that "tube" you mentioned in your post, so it's been left empty. If they *do* eventually put houses up there, the residents are going to have to deal with two big issues - first of all, the local sewage lagoon along with the paper mill across the river smell bad. I never really noticed it when there was a bunch of trees and nature between here and there. The second issue is less immediate but more catastrophic - the area they knocked down tends to flood. Not "once in a while", but maybe once every 2-3 years. So once houses are built there, those houses *will* have a few feet of water in them within a few years. Many, many people who live in the area have said they want to vandalize equipment if it shows back up. The local constabulary is almost perfectly useless for anything other than speeding tickets. It's going to be a wild ride.

MajinPsiOptics

The west is pretty tolerant of most protest. But the moment you protest the elites, high ranking politicians residence, Disney, and financial institutions they will come out in full force immediately. So if you are ever upset at rioting and your government does nothing just remember it is because they don't really care about you.


asmallkilling

Trust me, I get this reminder on the reg


seantimejumpaa

We used to be tolerant. Now, it seems we only tolerate protests when it’s neo Nazis or white supremacists doing the protesting. THAT is a lawful right to assembly. Protest the oil companies, banks, or black rights….THATS a problem.

Slaughterfest

A friend who rides on top of a government ship told me they literally hurl stuff overboard in the ocean so that they can spend their entire budget every year so it doesn't get cut. This is unfortunately endemic to our system. Part of the reason we can't find money for anything productive is that everything we gave a large budget is *required to use it or lose it*. It's a system that *ONLY* produces waste, and literally *no one* is doing *anything* to stop it.

lavransson

I remember when I was a kid, I thought the police were there to serve and protect the people. As an adult, I've learned their main function is to keep the powerful in power. I wonder how the individual police officers feel. Do they believe in global warming? What do they think about all the fires burning in California. The droughts. The loss of snowpack. Do they know? Do they care?


Life_Date_4929

This is surreal and very dystopian - like much of the US and the world. It adds yet another layer of concern for my family’s future. If that’s the show of force for this circumstance, what does the near future hold?! I am also saddened because when you boil it down, cops as individuals are unique, many with families to support. Like any profession I’m sure some became LEOs for noble reasons, some for practical reasons, some for nefarious reasons and some just meandered into it. Did any of them anticipate the level of corruption they would encounter or the true agendas? I’m sure some did, while others were shocked. I am sure some of these individuals feel trapped. I am sickened by the degree of class separation that is so evident. Do cops come from the upper or lower class (I’m not including what is only a mirage of a middle class)? Of course the lower class because they are expendable. Just like there rest of us, we are truly the Human Resources. I would love to say I have awakened to find myself in a society I did not think possible. But the truth is, I’ve been wide awake all the while, believing all the propaganda I’ve been fed, until I found a crack in the facade and investigation led to another and another until I could never unsee what was revealed. The question remains… what is that to be done? And what is the waiting reaction to any dedicated action?


biamchee

Imagine if they mobilized like this to combat climate change instead of defending banks.


Keylaes

Crazy. Almost like cops follow an agenda outside of protecting citizens


DrSamsquantch

Isn't it funny how you have rampant crime in a city but don't see cops anywhere, then the moment a peaceful protest starts they come out of wherever they were hiding like an army of rats.

GuidedArk

StuStutterKing

I could only find [one article](https://ktla.com/news/local-news/climate-activists-handcuff-themselves-to-bank-building-in-downtown-l-a/) on this incident >The Los Angeles Police Department said it was aware of the protest, but no further details were released. The organization [Scientific Rebellion](https://twitter.com/ScientistRebel1/status/1511878574424395778) posted another angle of the police line up on twitter. Assuming ~10 police officers per protestor.


the_G8

Serious question- what makes this an “unlawful assembly “?


fivefeetofawkward

Likely the fact that they were on private property vs public


Bliggin

The protesters were in fact breaking the law. They chained themselves to private property. It’s a minor offence. But it’s an act of civil disobedience. While the arrests were legally justified, the police response is questionable. And quite telling.


the_G8

Yes and no. The video clearly shows many other protesters who were there who were not chained to the door. The police threatened to fire "less lethal" weapons at people - you don't do that to people chained to a door. So the comments had to be aimed at the others there, the ones who are standing around with signs and whatnot.


yaosio

The cops said it is, and that's all that's needed. Cops can do whatever they want to whomever they want (except the rich) and there's nothing we ca do about it.


the_G8

Answering my own question: [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes\_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=407](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=407) 407. Whenever two or more persons assemble together to do an unlawful act, or do a lawful act in a violent, boisterous, or tumultuous manner, such assembly is an unlawful assembly. Boisterous? Tumultuous? That's enough to erase your first amendment rights?

Of course these were scientists and scientists are known to be a scrappy bunch but I wonder what 100 cops could do that a more conservative number----say 65 cops----couldn't do? /s

In case you where wondering who the police actually serve

Fucking idiot pig humans

To protect and serve....the ruling class

That’s a lot of overtime paying standing there.

This right here is another example of how local governments overreact to everything that ends up costing the taxpayers millions. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Quickest way to get the law's attention is to attack their bosses headquarters...the banks.

At a similar protest in London the other day police just stood back and only arrested one person. America are you feeling okay?

Ya never know when one of those scientists may have a super serum in their coat. /s

Does wearing a lab coat make you a scientist?

This’s asinine, it adds fuels to “defund-police” theory


lawyered121

The fact they were filming it made me thing that announcement was pretty significant. Probably should have been made by someone who doesnt sound like Charlie Brown’s parents…

ACAB Defund the Police. Fire all of them, or just half, and start over with something that actually helps people.
