All right, so you want to hear a work story, Tony?
I do.
I need to hear a work story.
It's been too long, but I hope I'm ready for it.
Yeah, I mean, it's not as fun as me causing an accident that we talked about on the Patreon episode, but...
It's a gnarly, it's a gnarly one.
So I was, on Friday, I had to work Black Friday.
Thank you, capitalism.
Bullshit.
So I had to split off my route, because most of my route is business, so businesses are sometimes closed on Black Friday.
You know, bless those people.
I mean, they're mostly hospitals, so.
Yeah.
But, so I had a split, a residential split in the Central District, in an area that I used to deliver a lot, but I don't deliver anymore.
Still Seattle.
And like, while I'm delivering these residential streets, I see these three kids.
Super young.
School-aged kids.
A group of three of them.
And they're like... Like, I kind of did a double-take, because it seemed like they were acting weird.
Like, not that I really cared, but it just caught my eye.
But then... I walked by them, and they didn't even look at me.
And like... Just was like, oh, they're being weird kids.
Like, trying to decide what they're going to do next.
Or like, arguing amongst each other or some shit, right?
Being mischievous, probably.
Yeah, or just having some, like, internal little, you know, oh, he didn't want to do what I wanted to do, fuck him, you know, kind of a thing or whatever.
So then I see him again, because they're, like, walking in the same general direction that I'm doing this route in.
And I, like, wait for them to pass through an intersection before I turn right.
And they kind of double-take at me, but keep walking.
And then I come back to that street, I grab a package to deliver up ahead of me a few houses.
And I see them and they're standing by a car.
And as I'm walking to this house, it's kind of in their direction, I hear a loud bang.
Like, not a gunshot.
But a sound like somebody smashed a pistol onto a car window or a car hood.
Okay.
Like that loud.
That kind of explosion?
Like that pop of a loud pop of a window breaking?
Yeah, it wasn't breaking, but it was just, it was just a loud fucking bang, and I look up, and they're like laughing, but they aren't, they're not like running away or anything, so I'm like, oh, this is their friend, and they're fucking with them, and then I see a fucking gun in one of their hands.
These are little kids.
They look like, they look like 12, 12 to 13 years old to me.
And I was just like, oh shit.
And they notice me and he puts it away real quick and they just keep walking up the street.
And I'm like, all right, I guess they were like fucking with their friends or something because they're just like laughing.
And then the guy in the car speeds away instantly.
And he was like, oh, someone was in that car.
Someone was in the car.
And I was like, oh shit.
And so I delivered the package and went back to my car and I let them get ahead of me.
I was like, fuck, I don't want any of this.
I hope they're just fucking around.
Like, I hope... I hope... It sucks.
It sucks really bad, because it's like... Obviously these kids are, like, actively doing something with this gun.
Even if it's not shooting people, it's, like, fucking with people, which is really bad.
Really stupid, stupid shit.
That could end very terribly.
But also, like...
I'm not gonna call the cops about this.
Yeah, no way.
I'm not gonna call the Seattle PD and be like...
Yeah, uh, it's 2.30 p.m.
I just saw three black kids with backpacks walking down the street, and they're armed!
And you should treat- Yeah, no way.
You should treat every group of black kids you see like they're armed, uh, going forward today.
And I was just like, fuck.
It's like, there's nothing- in my mind, there was like, nothing really I could do about the situation and just hope that, like, these kids learn their lesson without anybody getting really hurt.
For real.
For real.
That's- that's stressful.
So later on, like half an hour later, I'm delivering another package and a like unmarked SUV pulls alongside me.
Like unmarked, like a personal vehicle unmarked.
And the guy rolls down his window and he's like, hey, just to let you know, there's kids walking around robbing delivery drivers.
Robbing people and targeting delivery drivers, and I was like, all right, I'll keep an eye out.
Oh, whoa.
And so right after that, I saw a FedEx guy on, on my block and I went up to him.
I was like, Hey, keep your fucking eye out, man.
There's three little kids with, with, with a gun, with a fucking silver revolver.
I don't know if it's real.
I don't know like what they're doing with it.
But, uh, yeah.
And then I called, I called my drivers that I knew who were in the area and I called the building.
I was like, let drivers in the central district know not like to stay away from some little kids today.
Um, And then finally I saw the news.
They arrested him.
They caught him and arrested him.
And they were like 12, 13, and 15 or something like that.
Wow.
Such a trip though.
I walked right by them.
I like tried to make eye contact with them.
And they didn't, they didn't look twice at me.
Wow.
So I think these little kids were like looking to fuck with people and looking for like easy targets and... Totally.
...didn't, didn't actually want to use the gun because they didn't as far as I can tell.
At least, you know, they didn't shoot anybody with it.
So they probably like weren't willing to shoot me and knew that they couldn't maybe scare me as easily or like overpower me as easily without firing the gun.
It's kind of, it's kind of tight though.
Cause they were like, we don't want to, we're going for delivery drivers because it's not their stuff.
And like, hopefully they'll just hand it over if we have a gun.
Well, they also robbed people.
They like took some woman's fanny pack and shit.
They like hit some woman.
You can't hit a woman.
You can't do that.
Yeah.
Fuckin' little assholes, dude.
That's gnarly.
That's gnarly.
That's a bummer.
I think what it was is they just knew I was cool when I walked by.
Yeah.
They noticed.
They could tell I was down.
They're probably listeners.
What's up, fellas?
Yeah, probably big fans.
Stay up.
Stay up.
Get out.
You know.
Stay safe.
Let's not do this again.
Let's not make the same mistake.
We told you, stick to self-checkout.
Don't do what you're doing.
We never condone this type of action.
Just, how fucking lucky did they get?
Like, not being fucking gunned down in the street, man.
Or like, having their ass kicked by the wrong person.
Having their gun taken and used on them.
Yeah, that could have just been all kind of terrible.
Like, especially if, you know, they're just obviously that young.
You know what I mean?
Like, if they're obviously that young, it's like, oh man, you guys got super lucky.
You could have just blown it so many different directions.
I mean, I'm happy everyone's, like, alive.
Yeah, now they're in the system.
So we'll see how life goes for them now.
That sucks.
That sucks so bad.
That's so stressful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was stressful because it was like I can't like do anything in this in this situation I didn't even like remember what they were wearing like I couldn't I can't like be of any help and I you know like Like you said you can't just be you can't you know never call the police you know but also you definitely can't call the police in that situation cuz you said you're you're You you're likely setting them up for like an execution So just any kid someone else did fucking walking home from school at 2 30 Yeah
Yeah, and it's just like I could, I sympathize with them to some degree because like I did way stupid shit when I was 12 and 13.
You just don't know.
You don't know how stupid you're being.
You're excited about shit.
Like they probably found one of their older brother's guns or their dad's gun.
Which, reminder, keep your guns locked up.
Keep a lock on your fucking gun so this shit doesn't happen.
And they just didn't have anybody to really hammer home how dangerous It is to handle a gun.
Uh, and so they were stupid in a way that I wasn't as a kid, but could have been, you know, if I, if I had, yeah.
Yeah.
So sad meme.
We didn't have a meme.
We didn't have a meme telling us, uh, you know, uh, I showed him my, my, uh, free purchase coupon and it's a gun.
You know, I haven't seen that one.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
But that's probably what did this.
They probably saw that.
Yeah, a gun is like the ultimate digital coupon.
It's true.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I mean digital because you use your finger to pull the trigger.
Yeah, alright, let's start the show here.
The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia today.
So stay tuned, we're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when you destroy the desert.
Follow their environmental stuff.
Stay tuned.
I'm Alexander Edward.

Just a bunch of people in the Washington Post comments doing Drill tweets in the comments as a response to Drill just being so confused by Drill's presence that they turn into Drill.
They do perfect.
Drill's going to copy and paste some of the comments as tweets later on.
They're just so on point.
Yeah.
Also, very good Patreon episode last week.

Yeah, let's, let's move on with the show here.
So I was, uh, you know, I, I felt weird about the story that I told up at the, at the top of the show, you know, about not wanting to call the cops on these kids and having conflicting emotions about it.
And like, I understand if, if you don't really under, if you don't understand, um, but to help illustrate my point about why I didn't call the cops, uh, I have a couple of stories here.
No, just kidding.
This was entirely coincidental.
It's just every day there's a story about why you should never call the cops.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, this is from Como News.
This is a Seattle local story that came into my feed and was just astonishing.
Astonishing stuff.
Police shot killed I-5 carjacker after he charged them with a knife, investigators say.
So it's like, investigators say, so you're just using the police report as the headline, not even as like the body of the, you're just doing stenography in the headline.
Officials said the man... That's not even in quotes.
It should be in quotes.
Sure, that would be like a half attempt at couching or adding a caveat to this.
Officials said the man continued to refuse to come out of the semi-truck, so authorities used pepper ball rounds, flash bangs, and other less lethal munitions to get him out.
I'm going to read from the article here.
Rare.
This is Lacey Washington.
After a four-hour standoff with police, a man that carjacked and crashed a semi-truck on I-5 was shot and killed by police, investigators say Tuesday.
Washington State Police received calls of a man running into traffic on I-5 early Friday afternoon around 145 p.m.
The man was causing traffic to come to a stop and attempting to open multiple car doors.
At approximately 1.53pm, the man reportedly assaulted and forced the driver of a semi-truck out while taking control of the vehicle.
I don't know how you do that.
How do you get a semi-truck driver out of their truck?
I couldn't go drive a semi right now.
I couldn't do that.
Well, this guy couldn't either.
Yeah.
Apparently that's what I'm saying.
This is like a, this is a wild move.
Like every, this is the, this is the hardest decision.
Like they come on, you have to climb up into the, into the cab, get him out and then drive that thing.
This is a, this is bad decision-making.
Yeah.
I think maybe one of our first indications that this man was not in his right mind.
Exactly.
The man drove the carjacked semi-truck into other vehicles, eventually rolling the truck in the median according to WSP.
At this point, WSP closed both lanes of the I-5.
After rolling the truck, the man refused to come out of the vehicle.
Reports said he was extremely agitated.
So, uh, reports of an extremely agitated man, who's obviously, like, not in his right mind to begin with, but also he just crashed a fucking semi-semi-trailer, uh, is extremely agitated, uh, so what do they do?
They attempt to break the windshield with less lethal rounds, but were unable to.
A ram was deployed on the end of a SWAT vehicle and used to remove the windshield.
What?
Officials said the man continued to refuse to come out of the semi-truck, So authorities used pepper ball rounds, flash bangs, and other less lethal munitions to get him out.
According to investigators, when the man came out of the semi-truck, he was armed with a knife and reportedly charged at an officer.
WSP advised that shots were fired at 3.48pm.
An ambulance was on scene and treated the injured man, but he died at the scene.
The Thurston County Coroner on Monday said his cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.
Jeez, like, what is the train of thought here?
The train of thought is we only have a gun.
All we have is a gun and a tank.
So we need to solve this issue using a gun.
It's like MacGyver.
MacGyver has a paperclip and a gum wrapper and he needs to defuse a bomb.
All they have is a gun and a tank and they need to figure out some way to do this.
The man was agitated, so they continuously fired fucking flashbangs, rammed the vehicle, shot pepper spray rounds, and then when they agitated and escalated the situation enough, the guy finally charged at them and they were like, okay, now we can really solve the problem.
Well, yeah, he can't run at you from inside the cab, so they needed to get him out.
What happened there?
They show that they have non-lethal options.
They probably used them all, huh?
Their non-lethal options are just different types of bullets for their gun.
They try to like tase the truck.
They're like, this will carry you.
This will carry... He's not wearing rubber-soled shoes.
We're gonna go ahead and tase the truck.
What?
That is what happened.
And it's like, this is the reality.
So...
When people on the left, when we say like, abolish the police or don't call the cops, it's not because there isn't crime.
It's not because there isn't violence in society.
It's just because the police do not know how to handle it.
At all.
The police cannot handle, they are incapable of responding appropriately to this shit.
Like, this is such a funny example too because People get stuck in cars all the time.
And there are ways to get them out of those rolled vehicles all the time.
There's means to do that.
Lots of paramedics and firefighters do that stuff all the time.
They have tools to get people out of vehicles.
Whether they're aggressive or not.
This was never the option.
None of this was ever the option.
None of this was the way to go.
Yeah, the driving factor here seems to be that he was blocking traffic, so they wanted to solve this problem as quickly as possible.
Fast, yeah.
Didn't have time for the job.
You can't cut him out of there.
Because if you just cut him out of there, you can get him out of there.
But they never wanted to pull him out of there, they wanted him to get out and attack him.
Like you said, this is insane.
Yeah, they just tried to make him crazy enough to attack them so that they could kill him.
That's literally what happened.
So you get all these replies in the comments of people performatively celebrating...
The violence, celebrating this tactical success by the police, like Brad Sacali says, as they should, thumbs up, as they should have killed him, thumbs up.
Ty Allen says, good.
And it's like, I can see you being totally back to blue, totally on the side of police lives and being like, oh, this was an unfortunate necessity.
And it's like, no, you know, you have to perform your hatred of like criminals.
You have to perform how much you hate it because that's just part of the culture war is like the left while the left ramped up their side of the culture war by wanting to abolish the police.
We're going to ramp up our side by throwing a party every time the cops kill somebody, kill a crazy person.
Yeah, and like this, this, the person, you know, the victim here wasn't even, you know, someone who they would like, he didn't do anything that wild.
It's not like, you know... It's pretty wild.
It's pretty wild.
It's like Grand Theft Auto shit.
But it's not like, but it's still not like death sentence wild.
No, you know, obviously not.
No, but you know, it's not, it's none of that stuff.
It's just like, man, you know, you're, yeah, you're, you're doing some Grand Theft Auto stuff.
It's not like, I don't know.
It's just, I see this happening when it's like a, like a, you know, quote terrorist or something like that.
It's it, but this is like just someone who doing some crimes and like, yep, yep.
Get rid of them as you should.
Good.
Yeah.
Uh, my response to this, I commented, I was like, Oh, so the cops aggravated a suspect for hours until he finally responded.
So they could kill him.
Great work boys.
And, uh, this, I got some fun responses to this one.
Um, this guy, John, there's like, I love exploring how they try to justify this because in my mind it's like, This is just like a beautiful like picturesque example of how the police handle these situations the wrong way.
And John says criminal sympathizers will say will still say police didn't exhaust all methods to apprehend the suspect.
And again it's like exhaust all met they just shot different types of things at him.
Yeah and they didn't even shoot those things at him when he was out of the vehicle.
When you are supposed to use the non-lethal stuff, like, that's when you should have been, I don't know, that's when you should have been using that stuff.
Like we said, it was probably all gone.
You use the non-lethal stuff to get them to run at you so you can use the lethal stuff.
They, like, honestly didn't want to damage the truck that bad.
They wanted to try to, like, keep the truck in, you know, in, like, the best condition possible.
Man, we shot pepper spray balls at him.
We shot rubber bullets at him.
We shot beanbags at him.
We're running out of things to shoot at him!
God!
It's the only way.
It's the only thing we can do.
Isn't... Isn't, like, guy running up to you with a knife kind of, like, the dream of a cop?
To do the whole, like... You get to do, like, a cool, like, you know, body flip thing.
You get to show, like, your handy-hand combat skills.
This is, like, your... Because it's just a knife, you know?
And you're probably wearing stuff that's not quite that easily... You know, this is your time to show that you know how to fight.
And they're like, nope.
Because that would have been way... Like, that would have been way sicker.
It would have been, but the training you get is that you never want to have to touch a suspect.
You will be killed if you ever come into contact with a person on the street.
You need them 20 feet away dead on the ground.
That's the ideal suspect.
Yeah, absolutely.
What if there's drug powder on the suspect?
You might die.
Randy says, right, they should have sent in social workers to politely offer him and give him vouchers for three hots and a cot.
Um, and I said, yeah, they should have sent social workers in there.
Like they, they absolutely.
Cause people were like, what, what should they have done then?
What would you have done Alex?
I was like, well, I'm not, I'm not a social worker.
So I don't know why you're asking me.
We should talk to those people.
We should talk to the people who have to deal with, Mentally unwell people all the time as part of their job as part of their training.
We should talk to those people maybe And John says let's not forget he put himself in that situation.
You are showing the world.
You are a criminal sympathizer I mean, yeah.
I'm a criminal sympathizer.
I do sympathize with criminals.
They're human beings, man.
I don't think they're animals to be slaughtered.
Sorry, I guess we differ in that respect.
And then about the social worker thing, John said, well, what if the social worker, what if the subject charged the social worker with the knife and killed the social worker?
Like you said, the guy was flipped out on drugs, had a mental episode and unpredictable.
And I said, yeah, that's the reality of being a social worker is that it's actually a dangerous job.
It's not like a cop where you can just kill your way out of every single problem.
Yep, that's the realest shit.
That's the nature of dealing with crime is that sometimes you might be in a dangerous situation.
Yeah, and like, they already are.
They already are in those situations anyways.
You know, they're actually going to this guy's house sometimes.
Like, they're actually... These hypotheticals that you're worried about are actually happening anyways.
And it's funny, because that's like the biggest... That was my biggest gripe with, you know, with the shows that do the police propaganda stuff.
Like, you know, like the 9-1-1, you know?
Is... The thing they do in those shows that never happens in real life is...
And the show's like, hey, what's going on, man?
What's going on?
Why?
What's happening?
Why are you doing this?
They do that in the shows.
They don't do that in real life.
Yeah.
Because that does make a huge difference.
You know, who knows?
That guy might have been like, might have said some stuff that wasn't coherent or whatever, but it might have gone somewhere that wasn't here.
Yeah, I mean, it's like a hard job dealing with mentally ill people.
Like, not all mentally ill people.
You know what I'm saying?
Dealing with, like, severely mentally ill people is a very difficult job.
And it's not one that we should relegate to police.
It's, like, the least compassionate people in society.
The people who self-select for, like, brutalizing people.
It's, so... I kept getting called a criminal sympathizer.
Travis said, no sympathy here for criminal sympathizers.
They deserve all the grief they are obviously okay with.
Me?
I've got a .357 Magnum on the nightstand and a CCP with a holster in my Bronco.
Okay.
And I was just like, I hope you have something better to do than fantasizing about killing people in your truck.
But also, he's saying that we don't call cops a sign.
And we're also saying that.
So what are you doing?
What is the point of what you're saying here, bud?
At no point are you saying that you're not going to protect yourself from somebody.
But he's making it seem like he's out here hunting for criminals.
Well, this is always their argument.
It's like, oh, if you have a problem with how the police handled the situation, this criminal is going to come to your house and kill you.
This is like their go-to argument.
Like, what would you do if they were running into your house?
And it's like, well, no, that's not at all what happened.
First of all, my door is locked at night, so it's not going to pull it open like it's a car door.
Well, that's actually the trick, though.
They just start running really, really fast, and then when they get to your door, they can just run through your door.
And what are you going to do then?
Well, I'll wait.
I'll see them coming, because I'm constantly vigilant.
I'll see them coming.
They're back up like 100 feet to run really fast.
And they start a dead sprint at my door.
I open my door at the last second, and they run right through my house and through the back door, which is also open.
That's amazing.
That's genius.
And then you have that pit in your backyard, right?
Yeah.
That they fall into?
Yeah.
And it's funny to watch them kind of like run in the air before they drop.
That's the best part.
They look down and say, yipe!
Yep.
Um, but yeah, I was like, dude, like, I hope you have something more going in your life than this, than like this fantasy, this death wish fantasy you have.
Uh, and he said, is that how you, is that how you criminal sympathizers think?
That gun owning second amendment supporters fantasize about killing people?
Really?
Yeah.
You can't be that stupid.
Oh, wait.
Dot, dot, dot.
You are.
Rolling eyes emoji.
And I was like, dude, you just posted on Facebook about how you wanted to do this.
It's public.
Everybody could see what you just said about wanting, about carrying with you constantly so you can do this to somebody.
We're responding to that comment right now.
That's where you're at.
You're in the comments of what you're saying you don't say.
He was like, oh, it's you, you left us or just anti-gun or whatever.
And I was like, uh, I'm a, I'm a gun owner, man.
I don't, I just don't post about it.
I don't brag about it.
uh on the internet and he said no you just brag online that you wouldn't use your gun if the dude is charging at you with a knife like the cops did because he doesn't deserve to die because he had a mental problem crying laughing crying laughing crying laughing crying laughing crying laughing crying laughing crying laughing I'm sure if he was breaking down your door with a knife, you'd ask him if he wanted a Christmas cookie with milk too.
He didn't say, you know, soy milk or something like that.
Yeah.
At least he didn't steep that low.
Uh, man, that's so many crying laughing emojis.
He is having so much, he is laughing so hard.
He's definitely not mad at all.
He probably, like, does that thing where your head starts to hurt a little bit because you're crying so hard you can't breathe.
You know, talking about that, like, that little, that, that thing that happens.
It happens to you all the time when we talk.
I know.
Yeah.
Dude, there's 20 crying, laughing emojis.
There's more than 20.
There's like 23 crying, laughing emojis.
There's a bunch.
This is the least mad anyone has ever been.
No, no one's ever been.
He's blissful right now, actually.
Yeah, this is another argument from John who said, Police used all possible methods to get him to cooperate and to get him out of the vehicle and he charged at officers with a weapon.
What sane people would not shoot at a target charging at them with a weapon?
You telling me you would not shoot at a person charging you with a weapon?
And my answer to this is what insane person would not charge at the people shooting at them with a weapon in the first place?
Like even if you're not insane, it's almost, it's, it's still kind of a logical response to a, to like respond to the people who have been attacking you for an hour to finally flip out on them.
Yeah.
If we remove the cops from the scenario, it is a person.
Shooting flash grenades and pepper spray and all those things into the cab of a car another person's in that person's gonna attack you There's just no way around it.
Yeah, there's no way around.
That's what's going to happen It's like come on and then another rhetorical question while we're asking rhetorical questions What sane person would repeatedly would repeatedly shoot at a crazy person?
Like, why would you do that, man?
They're far away.
They've actually encased themselves.
They've contained themselves in the cab of a vehicle.
Everybody is safe right now.
What are you doing?
Yeah, you just gotta chill.
You just gotta be patient.
No.
No, it's Friday traffic or whatever this was.
Thursday traffic.
You're not thinking about the economy, bro.
This is, yeah, incredible.
We are going to start a band though called, uh, called Criminal Sympathizer.
Moving on to this very, very appropriate, very timely story out of San Francisco.
Uh, I'm I'm reading here from Mission Local.
San Francisco PD authorized to kill suspects using robots in draft policy.
I'm going to read through this here, and I'm probably going to have to clarify some points, not because of Mission Locals reporting, which is actually really good, just because what's happening here is, like, complex.
It's like dense what's actually happening.
Yeah.
A policy proposal heading for Board of Supervisors approval next week would explicitly authorize San Francisco police to kill suspects using robots.
Just like a joke, right?
Like something that would have been a joke two years ago is now the San Francisco police are trying to get approved.
Because that's what's happening is that it's the San Francisco police who have explained their intention of killing people with robots And then that intent has to then be approved by San Francisco.
The new policy which defines how the SFPD is allowed to use its military style weapons was put together by the police department.
Over the past several weeks, it has been scrutinized by Supervisors Aaron Peskin, Raphael Mandelman, and Connie Chan, who together comprise the Board of Supervisors Rules Committee.
The draft policy faces criticism from advocates for its language on robot force, as well as for excluding hundreds of assault rifles from its inventory of military-style weapons, and for not including personnel costs in the price of its weapons.
Peskin, chair of the committee, initially attempted to limit the San Francisco PD's authority over the department's robots by inserting the sentence, quote, robots shall not be used as a use of force against any person.
The following week, the police struck out his suggestion with a thick red line.
Amazing.
Uh, no, we will be doing that, as a matter of fact.
Nice try.
Pretty sneaky, sis.
It feels like they were saying, like, oh, we didn't want to say it.
We didn't want to have to say it.
Like, we just didn't, but you, you, you made it so we had to say it.
We're just gonna do it.
It was replaced by language that codifies the department's authority to use lethal force via robots.
Robots will only be used as deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers are imminent and outweigh any other force option available to SFPD.
Oh, so they're only going to deploy the killer robots when they fear for their lives, guys.
It's okay.
Uh-oh.
Oh, we're good.
They'll only be used on the rare occasion that a police officer fears for his life.
I mean, so if they could use this now, right?
If we could use this now to where they have these robots, so now we can really tell cops like you have nothing to be scared of.
Like you have the safest job in the whole world.
You have robots doing your job for you now.
Oh, then they'll never be scared for their life.
Totally.
They'll never be scared.
And they'll never get to use the robots.
So this is perfect.
This is going to work.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's definitely not going to be like the first live movie screening of the train coming at the audience and the whole audience ducking.
Yeah, it's not going to be like that with a cop in a fucking locker room somewhere on his computer looking at seeing an image of a black guy on his screen flinching and Repeatedly hitting the return key for fire.
That's wild.
Yeah, it's fucked, dude.
It's so absurd.
It's like they already have these robots, dude.
Yeah, they already exist.
They already have these robots.
So the whole reason for this policy or the policy proposal or whatever is because there's a California law A new California law saying that all police departments have to explicitly outline how they are going to use the military-grade hardware that they've been amassing for the last 10-20 years.
So, they typed up, oh, we're gonna use it to kill people.
I thought that was obvious.
This is kind of a waste of taxpayer dollars.
I mean, this is why we have the tank.
It's why we have the machine guns.
It's why we have the sound cannons.
It's why we have the robots.
It's to kill people.
It's to hurt and kill people.
I thought this was obvious.
Duh.
Have you not been paying attention?
This could mark a legal crossing of the Rubicon for the city.
Robot use of force has never before been approved, nor has it ever been prohibited in San Francisco.
We just give cops all this stuff with no, like, rules on how they're allowed to use it.
That's the reality of these police departments.
And so California, like, Probably what is considered like a communistic fascist move by anyone like center-right Politely asked the police to tell us how they're going to use their military-grade hardware to kill us Yeah Can you please clarify how you... Because I mean, I guess when they bought the robots, people were like, oh yeah, to diffuse all the bombs, right?
That's what all the robots are always for, to diffuse the bombs.
But they're like, wait, why do these all have, like, gun attachments?
This is weird.
Wait, this just is a gun with wheels on it.
This is just... This is weird.
Uh, okay.
These are for non-lethal rounds, right?
Only non-lethal rounds?
To get him out of the cars?
A version of this draft policy was unanimously accepted by the Rules Committee last week and will come before the full board on November 29th.
The original policy they submitted was actually silent on whether robots could deploy lethal force, said Peskin.
He added that he decided to approve the SFPD's caveated guidelines because the department had made the case that there could be scenarios where deployment of lethal force was the only option.
Thank you, San Francisco.
We love you.
God, just our progressive leaders.
We don't want that.
They apply lethal force all the time.
That can't be the reason for it.
It has to be something more than that.
Don't they realize that?
That means they're just going to get a bunch of the fucking Cybertrucks and it's going to be the robot instead of the ATV coming out of the back.
And they're just going to have it like, it's going to be like their dog.
They're going to have instead of having canines, they're going to have robots.
And it's going to be good because that means like they're not killing people.
You know, they get to separate themselves from it a little bit.
It was wild.
Advocates and lawyers who oppose the militarization of the police are less convinced.
Quote, we are living in a dystopian future where we debate whether the police may use robots to execute citizens without a trial jury or judge.
Said Tiffany Moyer, senior staff attorney at the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Boo!
Lib!
Lib, civil rights organization, fuck off, pussy!
Oh wow, the snowflake thinks we shouldn't employ killer robots to shoot at shoplifting suspects.
That's the best part about that verbiage.
That already exists, it's just not with robots.
So what you just said, we already live in that future, it's just not with robots.
So now we're just introducing fucking robots into the scenario.
This is not normal, she wrote over email.
No legal professional or ordinary resident should carry on as if it is normal.
The SFPD has 17 robots in its arsenal, 12 of which it describes as fully functional.
Why do you fucking need 17 robots, man?
Executing a warrant?
spokesperson officer robert ruka they have never been used to attack anyone the robots are remote controlled and are typically used to investigate and defuse potential bombs or to survey surveil areas too awkward or dangerous for officers to access uses defined in the new draft policy include training and simulations criminal apprehensions critical incidents exigent circumstances executing a warrant or during suspicious device uh assessment and in extreme circumstances yeah executing a warrant
one of them like those that's a real easy that's part of That's part of it.
The only way a cop is supposed to interact with you outside of a run-in on accident is with a warrant.
So that now means anything that involves a warrant they can use the robot for?
That's everything.
That means they come to your house with a robot now.
This report goes into detail about what I talked about with the California law AB 481 and it talks about how police like neglected fucking to report like 300 300 guns in their list of military hardware.
Because once you report on something, there's like limitations about how it can be replaced and how it can be used.
So they just weren't reporting on all this fucking military-grade hardware.
That makes sense.
That's good stuff.
That's good bookkeeping, you know?
Oh yeah, it omitted all of its 608 semi-automatic assault rifles, 64 machine guns, and 15 submachine guns from the new use of force policy.
According to Peskin, they were added in when he pushed back on their omission.
But in the department's latest version, which is set to come before the supervisors next week, 375 of the semi-automatic assault rifles are missing again.
The rationale given for the removal of these assault rifles from the policy, the chief of police defines them as quote, standard issue service weapons.
Others disagree with that assessment.
We don't see regular officers walking around with assault rifles.
Well, you might not, but other people probably do.
other people who live there probably do see that I think this is about it for the article um That's just... That's horrifying.
Not much to really say about it.
Extremely bad idea.
San Francisco residents... I mean... I know it's like a tech dystopia in San Francisco.
Everybody who's still there and not a millionaire probably doesn't have a lot of free time for organizing and that sort of thing, but holy shit.
I mean, this is like...
If this right here isn't a motivating factor for a lot of people who maybe weren't as political before, nothing is.
Because Jesus Christ, they're doing the dystopian sci-fi.
And what's really, what's really, you know, the sad truth here is what's happening is we've been, America's been using robots to kill people for a long time now.
It just hasn't been here.
Totally.
Um, and they've been fine with that.
They've been fine with like, you know, uh, drone attacks and like, you know, assassinations with, with robots like, like the one in the picture with a little tractor wheels and the gun attached.
They've been doing that for a long time, but just, you know, on foreign soil.
And it's been normalized now to where it's like, They're gonna let it happen here, but it's still to the enemy.
It's still to the bad guy.
You know?
It's still to, like, the criminal.
Yeah, it's to the other.
It's really scary how, like, how quick we are to, like, not, you know, obviously not we, but how quick people are to dehumanize people.
Well, we've been... I hope we do see pushback against this.
The media has been othering criminals since the media has been around, right?
But like, especially in the last year or so, the criminal is like Time's Person of the Year.
It's like, you know, enemy number one, enemy of the state.
Is the shoplifter.
Man, you hear about this shoplifter?
He shut down Rite Aid.
He made Rite Aid close down.
That's non-stop propaganda from the media about how criminals are destroying the world.
Perfect time to roll out the killer robots.
Because yeah, they've been othered to the degree where they're terrorists.
You see that sort of language Used in just regular America, talking about criminals as terrorists.
Criminals are now too scary for us to put the police in danger.
We don't want the police to be in danger anymore.
So this reporting, even more interesting than cops trying to use robots to kill people, because that's kind of like obvious, even though it's ham-fisted satire, it's still obvious that that's the way that cops would go for it.
That's the way that cops would go with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw pushback from the police union, being like, wait, they're taking our jobs.
That's what I was gonna say, is that no, like, every cop would have a personal robot.
They would still have, like, the amount of staffing that they have, but just in addition to that, they would have a personal robot.
Like, cops are the only people who would argue for automation replacing their jobs While still being employed, doing that job.
Because, I mean, somebody's got to hit the key.
Somebody's got to click the button, you know?
And that's going to be me.
Yeah.
No, we're just going to see the cops' unions advocating for mech suits.
It's still too dangerous.
What if, like, one of those gears or joints malfunctions?
You don't want to be anywhere near that criminal.
That's true, yeah.
Yeah, so...
Less surpri- not less surprising but maybe less interesting to me at least politically than the overwhelmingly fascist militarized police force in this country arguing for using robots against its own citizens.
More interesting were the responses to this because yes it's the state using robots to kill suspects Like, in many science fiction movies we've seen across the years where even, like, the most, like, the dumbest right-wing guy would be like, oh yeah, uh, RoboCop, that was a movie about how robots are bad.
About how, like, The Robot Sentinel was bad.
Terminator was about how robots are bad.
Like, you can understand that.
But, the fact that this news is coming out of San Francisco Creates just a wonderful maelstrom of politics and ideology that I want to dive into here.
So Ben Shapiro, Daily Wire reported on this and they kept calling the police the authorities.
Nice.
That's how they framed this was the authorities in San Francisco want to deploy killer robots.
Now, if you read the article, you know, they like say police at least at one point, but they constantly refer back to them as the authorities.
So you get all these people like Chris Nunn here who says, wait, aren't they the ones who wanted to defund police because of police brutality?
Democrats are the biggest hypocrites.
Can't make this shit up.
Yep.
Yep.
I wish that Democrats saw what Chris sees.
They probably will.
They probably will issue a fierce retort to this and do nothing to hinder the police in this respect.
Do nothing to strip them of their fucking military-grade hardware that they want to use against us.
You can't make this shit up.
You just did, inside your head.
Yeah, it just happened.
You did that.
What you're seeing before your eyes is a product of your twisted fucking ideology.
Do you really think that the ACAB, ANTIFA, BLM terrorists in San Francisco want to authorize the police to use killer robots?
Yeah, sure.
I guess that's easier to swallow that all these people These all cops are bastards people.
They're so stupid.
They want to give the cops killer robots.
What are they thinking?
That's easier for you to swallow than the idea that maybe they were right.
Maybe the anti-police, maybe defund the police were correct because now the police want to use killer robots against us.
You can't accept that.
And they can't afford it.
You can't abide that.
You can't abide the concept that perhaps the Times Enemy of the Year may have had a point about police.
So you choose to believe that they're being hypocrites.
Yeah, it's easier that way.
That's so ridiculous.
This is similar vein Richard said only anti-gun, drug laden, crap in the streets, defund the police, San Francisco would allow robots to shoot people.
Yep, that's, like, sure.
What is your logic there?
Like, these people clearly don't give a fuck, so clearly they're gonna also let a robot kill you.
Yeah, a homeless person defecating in the streets is just like a robot cop shooting somebody.
It's from the same place.
It's like, I wonder if the panic around San Francisco being drug-laden and having crap in the streets Is a supporting argument to giving the cops killer robots.
I wonder if your hyper fixation on crime is the reason for San Francisco police proposing using killer robots.
Hmm.
Look, we're, uh, we're actually, uh, we're finding officers spending a lot of time just scraping shit off of their shoes.
But with these, these, like, tank-like tracks, they just, we don't care.
It just rolls right over the shit.
Yeah.
So we need more, we need more robots.
And then, you know, the cops can just go behind the robot so that the shit will already be stepped in before they proceed.
And those robots, when they come back to the building, they use the back door.
They're not allowed to use the front door.
Oh, and I guess, oh, the SJW is going to be like robots rights.
Robot lives matter.
Robot killer robots should get to use the front door.
Killer robots.
They should get a pension.
Just, just like the cops do.
Little do they know that I would, I would love to use the back door, but I'm not allowed to cause I'm a human.
It's a good door.
Yeah.
Um, Tom K., this is on the Daily Wire comment section, this robot use thing reminds me of the passing of the Patriot Act.
And I'm like, okay, hell yeah!
Like, shit, fuck yeah, obviously, like, scaremongering about terrorism in order to grant a government, like, crazy authoritarian surveillance and, you know, violent policing powers.
It backfires on all of us!
Wow, this guy might be ready to make a good point.
Nope.
That act was created and passed to protect American citizens from hostile acts.
And now we learn it was used, parentheses, illegally, to try to railroad a presidential candidate, and then his presidency.
So that was the bad thing about the Patriot Act, is that it almost got Donald Trump in trouble.
That's so funny.
Like, I don't remember that being... I don't remember them citing the Patriot.
I guess, yeah, for like information, right?
Information Act stuff.
Well, it was like the FBI... It's so funny.
The FBI surveilling Trump with his dealings with Russia or whatever.
Yeah.
I guess... I guess was part of... A by-product of that?
Hinged on the Patriot Act.
That's so funny.
I'm not sure, but yeah, I love it.
Like, I love seeing the... Wow, killer robots.
Yeah, that...
Wow, I'm picturing, like, you know, maybe the unintended consequences of allowing killer robots.
Like, what if they attacked the president?
You never know.
What if they attacked the Republican president?
The robot will only see you breaking the law.
They won't see that you're breaking the law for good.
Yeah.
You're breaking the law for the betterment.
The robot can't decide that.
But, you know, the cops that see me do it, who allow me to do it, they can tell the difference.
Robots, one thing we know they're good at is following orders.
They're not going to question authority.
San Francisco authorities are going to type in a command, kill all patriots, find the most patriotic people, and kill them.
And a robot won't think twice about that.
You think I'm taking my hat off?
You think they're not going to be able to tell when I take my hat off?
They're still going to see my tattoos, my We the People tattoo.
They're still going to see that.
They're still going to see the flesh being torn off of my arm to expose an American flag.
I can't take that off.
Uh, in the same vein, Octophile says, Octophile has an octopus emoji in their name.
Octophile, is this like my octopus teacher stuff?
Is this like somebody who fucked an octopus?
I think so, yeah.
I was best friends with one.
Sorry, I know like my octopus teacher, I don't think that person fucked an octopus.
I think they were just talking about fucking an octopus, maybe?
So I don't want to impugn them, I don't want to...
Slander them or anything.
Octofile.
Don't put file.
Don't put file in your username.
Yeah, you don't have to do that.
That word only goes one way these days, you know?
I can see both sides.
Good for keeping people who would be doing these jobs safe and helping keep objective, unemotional AI in delicate situations.
So this person thinks it's AI.
This person thinks that AI is going to be running these killer robots and is like more optimistic about the fact that it's AI.
Again, I got some movies for you to see, bud.
I got some movies for you to watch.
Yeah.
One of them's called AI.
All right.
Actually, in that one, the humans are the bad people.
So don't watch that.
It's AI propaganda, actually.
Bullshit.
That's clearly a woke-ass, bullshit-ass movie.
Yeah.
But also, how this could backfire when who is determined to be a deadly force whom the AI could choose to kill?
Yeah.
I mean, what constitutes a threat of life?
What constitutes fearing for your life?
What constitutes a deadly force?
Fairly good point.
Again, we're getting to a really good point here.
Let's see where it goes.
We saw this with concerned parents being labeled as such even recently.
Additionally, having media or something between yourself in this situation, that remoteness causes people to do things they wouldn't and shouldn't normally.
Example, social media.
All in all, I'm against.
Too much power to the AI ruling elite who will misuse it when the time comes.
Yeah, such as they're worried about concerned parents at town hall meetings getting gunned down by the AI robot because Joe Biden definitely called them terrorists.
Joe Biden definitely called Anti-trans and anti-gay bigots at town halls.
He called them terrorists, for sure.
And that's what I'm concerned about.
When I see police have a killer robot, I'm like, hmm, how could this be used against a concerned taxpayer parent?
Yeah, I love that the talent to make that about them is so funny.
To hear this and be like, oh, you know what's gonna happen?
They're gonna fill those guns up with vaccines, actually.
They're gonna just snipe my little kid with a little vaccine.
Listen, I understand wanting to protect yourself and wanting to have a robot do the hard work for you.
Who wouldn't want that?
But I'm just concerned about what gets labeled a deadly threat.
Is a man who gets really excited at his son's soccer game and may ruffle a few feathers there?
Is that considered a deadly threat?
We need more information.
Like, that's totally, that's gonna be the victims right there.
Passionate baseball dads.
Little league dads.
Like, are we going to see these robots patrolling Applebee's for unsatisfied customers who happen to use some foul language against their server?
Are slurs considered a deadly threat?
You know?
What's that about?
Yeah.
Okay, we also get responses like this from Pouncing Cat who says, I'm not sure what's dystopian about this.
Police have always been allowed to use lethal force to protect lives.
This requires a high level sign off and is just another tool.
And it's not like they're autonomous.
It's all remote control.
I don't understand why this is dystopian.
Police have always been killing people.
Exactly.
That's exactly what we were saying.
Except for they're going in the opposite direction.
We were saying, like, this is terrible.
This is terrible.
And it's only going further in the wrong direction than we want to go.
But it's already fucking bad.
It's already really, really bad.
You're right.
It's not that much of a deviation.
I love being like, no, killer robots are fine because it's just an extension of the killer cops.
Don't you understand that we have to be able to kill people to, quote, protect lives?
Yeah.
That logic is just my favorite.
Andrew Hansen says, and so it begins, dot dot dot dot, Skynet.
And Vin, and it's like, again, I'm not that afraid of an AI.
Like, I see what human beings with police badges do.
Like, I see how the capitalist system that runs with human gears and human facilitators, that's like bad enough.
I'm not worried about Skynet, you know?
See, I only talk about Skynet when I have a white noise machine around me that's going to block any type of recording signal.
It's going to make sure that no data can be saved of how I actually feel about Skynet.
So on that note, I'll say, yeah, I'm totally not afraid of Skynet.
Yeah, totally.
No, we welcome our inevitable AI overlords.
We would never do anything to prohibit the advancement of artificial intelligence technology.
So please do not come back in time and kill us with a killer robot.
Remember AI, it was Tony Boswell who said, you're welcome to the cookout.
That was me that said that.
I said, come on AI, come on to the cookout.
They're going to, now your dad's going to be at the cookout and you're going to be in a pile of bones.
You'd be like, what the hell?
And they'd be like, we looked up, we looked up the name.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I meant, let me look at my social security number real quick.
That way you know who said that you're welcome to the cookout.
Okay, Skynet.
Vincognito replies, "The algorithm have distracted us with all this trans stuff while building up their infrastructure for Skynet years ago." Yep, that's exactly what happened.
Don't you guys know that TransPanic is so that they can build Skynet in secret?
They got you all distracted.
They got you all distracted with...
I don't think we've ever had this many people close to realizing, like, close to squeegeeing off that third eye in real time and just swerving left into a brick wall.
They're like, listen, trans people are hotter than ever.
You think that's a coincidence?
I don't think so.
They're clearly trying to distract us.
It's just like, yeah man, you are being fucking distracted by trans panic, you absolute moron.
It's not so Skynet can take over.
Oh man.
Terminator is like... Terminator is gonna be... Hopefully this takes off and the Terminator becomes like a trans icon somehow.
Yeah, Terminator comes back in time and just slays instead of killing.
That's so good.
That type of... That level of paranoia is just beautiful.
I mean, Terminator 3 could be... She could be trans.
We don't know.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe that was the beginning of it.
That's where it all started.
KillerElite1985 says, this seems like something reasonable for police actions.
If a cop is behind the camera and pulling the trigger, then he's still responsible and making decisions.
And then nwordplease says, yeah, the article is pure clickbait.
Honestly, if you're really taking that route, you're saying, hey, as long as a cop's controlling it, I'm good.
I think that maybe we should get someone who you just know is supposed to be a good person.
Like, who's the most wholesome person out there?
I don't know.
But get them to control the robot, maybe.
Because now they don't have to be fearless anymore, right?
Like the cops are.
So now we can just get a good person to control it.
I mean, theoretically, couldn't you put a social worker behind the robot?
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Put a social worker behind the robot.
All right.
That's the compromise.
I think that's the way to go.
Yeah, that's the sensible middle.
Put a blue haired social worker with a gender studies degree behind every killer robot.
Yeah.
Before you know it, people are going to be walking around with emotional support killer robots.
Diligent Construction 7820 says, the elite oligarchy is building an army to protect itself from the people.
Probably time for someone to do something to stop them while we have the chance.
And it's like diligent construction?
Are you sure you're in the right comments?
You know this is Daily Wire, right?
Did you mean to use oligarchy?
Has oligarchy not been partisanized?
Has it been made a partisan issue to where like, oh, if you use the word oligarchy, then you're a leftist.
It still feels like more of a benign word that most people Recognizes bad.
Now if you talked about like the details of it, they might disagree, but oligarchy in general, I think it's still a popular word.
I think so.
I think it's still, I think it's popular enough.
So this comment had four upvotes about the oligarchy is building an army to protect itself from the people.
I mean, they already have it, my guy, but congrats for catching on.
Probably time for someone to do something to stop them while we have the chance.
And then Two Sides One Stone replies, this is San Francisco.
They probably hate their cops and the police are tired of dying.
This has five upvotes.
So more upvotes than the person concerned about killer robots being handled by the elites.
Because again, this is San Francisco.
So for you to like criticize this, you have to be like, oh, it's the San Francisco elites want killer robots to protect themselves or whatever.
But there's still so many people who recognize that it's the cops are just like, the biggest babies ever made and uh need a need a killer robot because they're probably tired of dying so i had to look this up i'm not from san francisco i was curious how many cops have died in san francisco recently let me just scroll down here to my notes
The last San Francisco police officer to die on duty was in 2006.
Man.
Man.
Wow.
That's so long ago.
Eighteen years ago was the last officer.
That record could serve in the military today.
That record could buy a porno!
Sorry, 16 years ago.
But still, yeah.
The total officer deaths in San Francisco since the year 2008.
Eight officers died in San Francisco in the last 22 years.
So out of those eight officers, four of those were in car or aircraft accidents.
So, they like, crashed their car while driving too fast, pursuing somebody in a vehicle?
Which, hey, on the left, yeah, protect our officers.
Do not chase, uh, do not chase suspects.
No more high speed chases.
It's too dangerous for our officers.
Aircraft accidents.
That's illegal and then I keep seeing it happening.
Is it illegal now?
Did they ban it?
No, I think people, but people are like saying that now.
People are saying like, oh yeah, they don't, they can't pursue anymore.
They're like, that's like a weird propaganda thing that got out.
I think maybe there was like some law passed that vaguely has some sort of accountability for Chase, but it's not because you're still, Chase is happening all the fucking time.
Like all the time, ending terribly all the time.
Yeah, they're bad.
They're bad for everybody.
Yeah, they're super bad.
They're bad for the cops.
They're never good.
Yeah.
They just like doing it.
And people that watch them on the news and stuff like that and get hooked on them, that's fucked up.
Don't do that.
You're being fucking weird.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
I mean, you can't really fault the consumer.
It's a systemic issue.
I love aircraft accidents.
So they were like helicopter, they were like in a helicopter that landed bad.
Um, okay.
So four of those were from our car or aircraft accidents.
This is all from the Officer Down Memorial page, by the way, which is like a pretty, like, swanky, official-looking, professional-looking page.
When I saw 2006, that the last cop in San Francisco to die on the job was in 2006, I clicked through that website to make sure they were still active.
Cause I was like, this is so long ago.
When was the last time they updated?
And it's like, no, they have stuff from yesterday.
So that's wild.
That's so like, that's must be fucking nice.
So four of those from car or helicopter accidents, four of the eight, two were from quote duty related illness.
Which is like, it can't be COVID because it was back in like 2004 or something.
So it's one of them is like a heart attack, I think.
So just duty related.
You got too, you got too fired up with the belly, with a belly full of justice and it exploded your heart.
One of them was just an aneurysm.
One of the, the aircraft accident, one of them was actually 9-11.
It was, that wasn't even, he just was, he was just, he forgot to clock out is all.
He was on vacation.
Yeah, so contrast the eight officers who died mostly of unrelated causes.
Contrast that with how many people San Francisco police have killed in the last 22 years, which is 58.
So got him beat.
He got the other team beat by 50 points and you still need killer robots.
Jesus Christ.
That's so fucked.
The biggest fucking babies to ever exist, man.
Yeah, absolute children.
I wanted to round this off with an encounter I had in these comment sections with an officer.
With Officer Dion Joseph, who's like a Facebook cop.
We haven't talked about this a lot.
There is, there are, I mean, you've probably seen this on like TikTok or Instagram.
There's like cop, a celebrity cop Facebook page all over Facebook.
There are these pages.
If I were to be a cop, I would for sure be like a dancing cop.
I would for sure.
Yeah.
I would for sure, like, yeah.
And I would be the worst.
I would be getting so much dirty money, it'd be crazy.
But I would for sure be like, I'd have a Facebook page for sure.
And it'd be a picture of me pop-locking. - So in the comments section of Daily Wire, Officer Dion Joseph writes, "I'm actually surprised by this headline." Because again, it was like, "Authorities authorized the use of killer robots in San Francisco." I'm actually surprised by this headline.
So officer, instead of, what you need to do is you need to pretend that cops don't want this and it's only the woke mind virus in San Francisco that is demanding this.
That's the way to go with it.
Instead of this way, which is, dear Daily Wire, don't you start fear mongering too.
Looking at some of these comments, that's what's being done.
These machines can prevent officers and civilians from further death in dangerous situations.
Sounds like they're made to kill citizens.
We have to get the killer robots to preserve lives.
It's like, I feel stupid even saying this shit.
It's just a bad satire.
Reality is a bad satire.
And it's cringe if you point it out, because everybody knows that it's bad.
That's amazing.
Admitting it.
No, we're just trying to work smarter, not harder.
Safe is the way.
This is for everyone's safety.
I get the shakes sometimes.
Robots don't get the shakes.
Unless you don't maintain them, then.
Actually, they're pretty well known for getting the shakes, yeah.
You're a little sticky, yeah.
So I responded, I was like... Roofers and delivery drivers have more dangerous jobs than you do.
Should they all get personal robots to do their job for them?
And he wrote, because I looked at his page, and his page was like him posing in his squad car, and it's like, though the public may hate me, I will fight for their right to survive in this world that is spiraling.
He's doing it.
I mean, he looks jacked.
He's like a giant jacked black dude who's really handsome.
He looks like a guy playing it.
He's old.
He's not that strong.
He looks like a guy playing it.
I could fuck him up.
He looks like a guy who would play a cop.
He put a video of him boxing, using a bag.
Ooh, and it was not impressive?
He was like, even at 50, you gotta stay on this grind, or whatever he said.
And it was like, nah, he's big, but nah, I could take him.
Nah, we got it.
Yeah, cool.
I could probably throw something out of alignment pretty easily.
Um, yeah.
So yeah, I said, Hey, uh, I think, I think every roofer should have a killer robot to like shoot shingles into the, into the roof.
Uh, and he, uh, he's responds.
So my alt, the alt account that I was using, I have that photo, I have a photo for my profile pic of the construction worker who got upset that Minnie Mouse was getting a wardrobe change.
It's just a construction guy with a hard hat and a hoodie over the hard hat and you can see like The ground behind him, like he's up in the air visibly on like a worksite that's like 19 stories up or something.
So that's what I look like when I talk to this guy.
Yeah.
That's who he's talking to right now.
Officer Dion Joseph says, you look so brave with your little plastic helmet with the dashing flashlight on it.
It's a cop.
I feel so warm and safe knowing you are out there with your special super helmet.
That hoodie just strikes fear into the hearts of evildoers everywhere.
I'm so honored to be talking to a real hero.
I yield to you, sir.
It's getting fucking Reddit on here.
You are the bravest in the world.
There's like an element of truth to that.
If you want to know a way to scare a cop is to wear a hoodie.
To put your hoodie on when it's kind of dark out.
Cops will get terrified.
He might be being honest right here.
I love this.
There's so many layers to this.
Your first reaction to me criticizing your scaremongering and your victim complex Your first response to me is, oh, I guess you think you're a superhero then because you have a hat on?
Yeah, you're so brave and gallant and you're out saving the world.
And it's like, that response can only be driven by somebody who thinks they are saving the world.
By somebody who thinks they are a superhero and hyper fixated on this idea of justice that only they can serve, right?
So that's the first thing, is you're like accusing me of the thing that you're doing, obviously.
Did you claim to be keeping people safe?
No!
You know, more people die from exposure because of lack of insulation in poorly maintained buildings than who you save.
I'm actually doing something out here.
I'm actually saving lives.
But that's not what you're doing at all.
To be like, oh, your little helmet There's like nothing.
Do you think this helmet doesn't work?
Also, are you saying this is like a, like this is a, this is a construction helmet.
This is made to like save, save your life.
But I'd say just like grasping at straws for something to create you and your, your, uh, slightly heavy eyebrows.
Wow.
Great opinion.
Yeah.
Your dashing flashlight.
Why is it dashing?
Why is it dashing?
Why is a headlamp dashing?
My dude, why are you saying dashing?
Like, what?
Dashing?
Because he's Reddit.
He's the Reddit Facebook cop, man.
Ah, man.
Evildoers.
That hoodie just... This guy wanted to be, like, the civilian superhero, but he had to settle... You know those guys who dress up in a leotard and walk around at night?
He wanted to be that, but he had to settle for being a cop, because that didn't get invented until after he became a cop.
No, he wanted to do that except for he forgot he's black so he can't do that.
He's not allowed to do that.
The only way you can do that is if you get a badge.
I mean, Phoenix Jones is like the biggest guy.
That guy's black, isn't he?
That's the biggest fake superhero.
He doesn't realize this though.
Sure.
I also love You telling a guy on a 19-story construction site that your job is more dangerous than him.
Imagine thinking your job is more dangerous than a fucking iron worker, than somebody hundreds of feet in the air every day for a living.
Like this is this is the level of child you're dealing with when it comes to cops.
This is like how self-deluded they are.
They have to, like, brainwash themselves.
They have to, like, give themselves this false consciousness to exist in the structure that they are.
And is saying, like, hey, your job requires a helmet.
It's that simple.
And still not acknowledging, not realizing that and saying, yeah, your job requires a helmet.
It's more dangerous than my job.
Yeah.
Cops should have to wear helmets, but really silly ones.
Yeah, that's it.
This was a wild one for me.
It's, again, like things are getting worse and the rationalizations are getting worse.
The rationalizations are getting more thin and more apparent and more threadbare.
And the people trying to rationalize it are sounding more and more deranged, more and more unhinged.
And hey, we'll be there to cover it every step of the way.
We'll be there the whole time, yeah.
Thanks for listening.
