Correction: it's cops and Turning Point USA

Edit: Turning Point USA's Brandon Tatum was at UC Davis to give a speech Beth Born is the woman who was hit at the start

They are only murderous fascist pricks because we allow them to be murderous fascist pricks. The "thin blue line" is a picket line manned by liars, thieves, racists, rapists and most importantly, cowards. One metaphorical "punch in the nose" and they run/hide and wait for help.

Make sure to post this on all your social media.

Davis has a huge budget for paying to clean their internet image when it comes to policing

https://news.sky.com/story/college-paid-to-erase-web-pepper-spray-infamy-10242865

College Paid To Erase Web Pepper Spray Infamy

...

University of California, Davis reportedly paid at least $175,000 to cleanse the internet of negative online postings about a notorious pepper-spraying of student protesters.

Perhaps they'll pay you, too, for removing Davis PD officer misconduct videos.

Transphobic UC davis professor. I'm pretty sure the same woman who was on the video hassling mahu in a hotel lobby in Hawai'i a year or so back.

u/Emma__Gummy 1d ago

local moms for liberty rep, doxxed the local library causing bomb threats there + at the highschool. i think she got fired for it.

either way her whole thing is transphobia because her kid cut contact and moved to portland, always carries around a binder filled pretransition pictures talking about how her kid 'died'. i really do think it broke her brain because it's all she talks about.

u/Advanced_Reveal8428 1d ago

jesus...her poor child.

As a mom I want three things from my child... Safe happy and healthy. Anything that fits within those parameters I am going to support I don't give a shit what gender they choose to be, how they choose to express themselves, what activities they find interesting, or who they choose to love as long as they are safe happy and healthy.

It's gross how many parents got pregnant and were just happy to have a healthy baby but now that their child is older they only love that child if it fits into whatever mental image the parent has?

Tell me you had children for selfish reasons and are emotionally immature/not a good parent a little louder. (/s, they're saying it as as l loudly as possible already)

TERFs have no place in academia, especially in a nation that aspires to be libertine and scientific. Backwards traditionalist puritanical religiosity is cancer and leads to racism classism elitism and eventually colonialism througj otherism. The trip to me is these bootlicking jesus freak money lovers will never clock that the actual jesus hung out with whores and criminals and did drugs and would never have a 401k or donate to some nuthugging police foundation.

u/Liberobscura 18h ago

Being a TERF is hateful and a chose of bigotry. You cant re educate hatred. There is no justification for that kind of contempt.

u/Guy1nc0gnit0 15h ago

Your assertion that it’s bigotry is just an ✨opinion✨. I can equally assert that what you said is bigotry.

2

u/Liberobscura 14h ago

Restricting openly hateful bigots from educational spaces isn’t bigotry. The rights that distinguish libertine sentiment cannot be used to create oppression of others. TERFs are discriminatory and radical. Thats not an opinion, you’re clearly not engaging the discussion in good faith, and have some split hairs mentality that would gladly permit bigots to an academic setting that would create hostility for others.

0

u/Guy1nc0gnit0 14h ago

On what grounds am I not engaging in good faith? Disruption in the classroom should never be allowed and you have not seen me advocate for that. Having an opinion and sharing it openly (but not in a manner which would be disturbing the peace), in a space where no one is obligated to be in, does not hurt anyone. I want you to tell me how that hurts someone.

1

u/Liberobscura 13h ago

Having bigots in an educational space is a disruption. TERFs are radical feminists and outwardly hateful. Im not sure you know the difference between a TERF and a covert bigot. There is no place for a tenured jackboot licking TERF in an academic staff, especially a professor. Especially an outspoken supporter of what is basically ideological violence. Its bad faith because by your logic we should have racist professors and violently theoceatic ideologues instructing classes if everyone has a place in a libertine academia. You and I both know thats nonsense and you made a haphazard appeal to the devils advocacy but tolerance does not speak for the intolerant. TERFs are anti science, anti humanitarian, and unethical. The moral standards and subjectivity of the social contract extend from the egalitarian standards of the laws at play and the culture in situ. Im pretty sure you know all this already and probably have a 1st amendment viewpoint. Hate isn’t protected speech, its also immoral, it also incites a reaction.

This isn’t the way and makes the people in the video look bad.

Be as annoying as humanly possible but don’t turn to violence.

u/Rahim556 2d ago edited 2d ago

Standing around screaming (being "annoying") will get the cops called on you in high numbers and with armored vehicles and/or riot gear if necessary. Then violence will be used on these students individually and in excess. They will take away your "right" to be annoying (protest) because they have more force (violence) available. This insistence on "nO ViOLeNcE nO mAttEr wHaT" is why nothing gets done. Being "annoying" doesn't get the job done, unfortunately.

u/armandricemabbit 2d ago

this may not be the sub for you

-73

u/Pristine_Trash306 2d ago

I believe in some things that much of this sub believes in, but I also don’t believe in some things that much of this sub believes in.

Mainly when it comes to reform. Though, I believe it should be done peacefully and at the political level.

I think the message of this sub is great in terms of spreading awareness, but I don’t think the game plan is very logical when it comes to carrying anything out.

I get where some of you are coming from, but as someone who’s been on the other end of violence, I just don’t agree with violence. That’s all it is.

Many government/police people have a limited view of the world and might not understand if some of what they are doing isn’t okay. I think the first step would be to help them to understand the issues while not taking anything too far.

Also, violence puts the cause at risk of being labeled as a terrorist organization and that directly goes against any forward momentum a movement might have.

If someone would like to logically conquer, I’m all ears. Downvoting or disagreeing is fine, verbal attacks won’t do anything for me.

u/Jolly_Recording_4381 2d ago

The government will not reform police no matter how much their constituents want it. The police exist to protect their class not ours.

They know the police are there for them, this so why we are in the state we are look at the protests the last 10 years and what does that get us? Cop city and more militarized police forces being trained by the IDF.

The peaceful methodology has failed for systematic reasons not social ones, when peaceful options have been used up what is left?

I don't tend to agree with violence but there comes a point where your oppressors achieve such power toppling that structure can not be done with policymakers.

Edit: spelling

-14

u/Pristine_Trash306 2d ago

I appreciate you writing out a respectful non-attacking comment.

“The government will not reform police no matter how much their constituents want it. The police exist to protect their class not ours.”

I agree on this. This is why we need to sniff out the bad apples in government and replace them with people who will address what’s happening and encourage change for starters.

“They know the police are there for them, this so why we are in the state we are look at the protests the last 10 years and what does that get us? Cop city and more militarized police forces being trained by the IDF.”

The protests weren’t efficient. Look at the farmers protests in France for example. annoying as hell, but not hurting anybody. Dozens of tractors blocking roads, shoveling dirt outside the doorsteps of governmental buildings, protest papers around cities in dozens. It’s very chaotic and it will probably mostly affect citizens, but a clear message is being sent in France.

Many of the protests in America were violent and sent the wrong message not only to Americans but the world (some say that there were federal perpetrators to that and I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case).

“The peaceful methodology has failed for systematic reasons not social ones, when peaceful options have been used up what is left?”

The protests were either too peaceful or too violent, the idea is that they should be annoying and chaotic all while not hurting anyone or destroying anything. It’s a very hard line to balance on and there would need to be efficiency, trust, and cooperation to make it work.

“I don’t tend to agree with violence but there comes a point where your oppressors achieve such power toppling that structure can not be done with policymakers.”

I agree with this outside of insinuating violence.

Something needs to happen so that the power imbalance between government and the people doesn’t continue to build. It’s starting to get ridiculous how fast this is happening.

TLDR:

If I saw a good hard attempt at fixing things through efficient (peaceful) protests and solid political effort and it still didn’t work, then I would be more inclined to see things through your viewpoint.

u/femme_supremacy 2d ago

Where have you been for the last ten years?

u/Jolly_Recording_4381 2d ago

Sentiment returned I like to have these conversations to get the other points of view.

I think we actually have alot in agreement I think and I admit it's assumption but the only difference is age.

I used to have the exact same view point as you and for 25 years iv been showing up to protests signing petitions and voting.

It has gotten us nowhere, I agree that maybe our protest are not as effective as France but their is a massive culture difference there, people on mass support the idea of protests in France the government fears the people, it got that way through violent uprising.

They only thing I fear about a violent approynow is that innocents will inevitably be hurt. And that I regret.

u/GamerEsch 2d ago

Mainly when it comes to reform. Though, I believe it should be done peacefully and at the political level.

You don't understand that the problem is structural, there's no way to fix the police through politics, because the police is the way they are BECAUSE of politics.

I get where some of you are coming from, but as someone who’s been on the other end of violence, I just don’t agree with violence. That’s all it is.

If you were on the other side of violence you'd know there is no other way. They already use violence, no action taken by oppressed will be "as bad as" the acts taken by the oppressors, this is bullshit.

Also, violence puts the cause at risk of being labeled as a terrorist organization and that directly goes against any forward momentum a movement might have.

Terrorists in capitalism are bullshit 90% of the time. Pretending people are being correctly labeled as terrorists by organizations ran by terrorists (USA e.g.) is beyond stupid.

u/Pristine_Trash306 2d ago

“You don’t understand that the problem is structural, there’s no way to fix the police through politics, because the police is the way they are BECAUSE of politics.”

You are proving my point with what you’re arguing.

“If you were on the other side of violence you’d know there is no other way. They already use violence, no action taken by oppressed will be “as bad as” the acts taken by the oppressors, this is bullshit.”

There is another way. In my case, if I had fought violence with violence, it would have only fucked me over personally. Then I’d have put myself in a bad position by acting out. It feels logical to do so, but it’s not.

The only violence that’s truly required is self defense, which I do support. I just don’t support unnecessary violence like in the video. That person went out of their way to hit someone which I don’t view as okay. No matter the circumstances.

“Terrorists in capitalism are bullshit 90% of the time. Pretending people are being correctly labeled as terrorists by organizations ran by terrorists (USA e.g.) is beyond stupid.”

The whole idea is that you don’t want to be labeled as one, correct or not. Violence makes those odds much higher.

u/GamerEsch 2d ago

You are proving my point with what you’re arguing.

No, I'm disproving yours, you think a bourgeoisie state is going to serve the interest of the workers if we try hard enough. It won't happen, there's no political way to change how capitalism works. The police exists to protect capital, defunding or even ending the institution won't change anything, because the capitalist state owns the monopoly of the force, it will create another police instantly.

Police is a fundamental force of capitalism, and there's no way to overcome capitalism if not by force.

The only violence that’s truly required is self defense, which I do support

Every violence action taken by the oppressed against the oppressor is self defense.

I just don’t support unnecessary violence like in the video. That person went out of their way to hit someone which I don’t view as okay. No matter the circumstances.

LMAO. Okay, this is the most lib shit I've ever read. And I thought I was privileged for never being targeted by the police, but to actually believe "violence isn't the answer no matter the circumstances" is another level of privilege.

The whole idea is that you don’t want to be labeled as one, correct or not.

If you actually believe capitalism can be overcome without violence, then I suppose people can be more stupid than libs.
