Omaha police agreed this week to stop carrying gloves that can deliver electric shocks to students in the halls of Nebraska’s largest public school district.
The decision affecting most Omaha middle and high schools came after The Associated Press first revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to give officers the gloves, which are known as G.L.O.V.E.s or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitters. The devices have also been used in recent years by some jails.
Omaha Superintendent Matthew Ray requested that police working in the schools, known as school resource officers, stop using the gloves. Omaha Police agreed.
Nothing left? Brother it had and has nothing else.
It was started on the principles of “I moved here and now I own the land because god told me so, now stand still while I genocide your entire nationality”
Moved to “I own you because someone brought you here on a boat and I need someone to work the fields.”
Moved to “You may have civil rights but we make all the drugs and write the laws”
Moved to “Be free and happy, go do acid and don’t look too closely at the vague yet menacing government agents wiretapping your homes, they are here for your safety”
Moved to “Serial killers are everywhere (don’t look too closely at them, either. Dont want you seeing their badges)”
Moved to “We need agents everywhere watching everything, and Guantanamos in multiple locations because terrurists.”
Its a long line of bloody murder stretching all the way back to colonialism (and beyond!)
Exactly! It’s never been anything else. The Europeans who first came there were narcissistic and racist sociopaths and it’s all been that since then.
America has preserved European values - more specifically 17th century European values such as racism, imperialism and the whole “might is right and a ‘superior’ race genociding an ‘inferior’ race to take their shit is absolutelly normal and fine”.
Lmao ah yes, thank you for clarifying that it’s specifically 17th century europe, I was really worried someone might get all confused and think that modern europe has a problem with racist imperialism. No no, that’s just america.
Please point out the part of my post were I wrote that modern Europe doesn’t have a problem with racist imperialism.
Uhm… That wasn’t what you did, nor what I called out? So no, but I will say that trying to reframe criticism like that is a kinda dodgy tactic (if intentional).
You and your strawman should probably get a room
I’m not clear if you’ve just wildly misunderstood my part of this conversation, or if you’re simply unfamiliar with the strawman fallacy. Either way, there’s been no strawman from me. And I quite suspect the one example from you was unintentional.
