I'm looking forward to the gay horror erotica of Derek Chauvin's prison term, because I think it will be as bone-chilling as anything I've ever read. You just know he is going to be sentenced, there's zero way around it now, and his face is the most famous cop face in all of the world. You know how american prison works.

What state do you think his asshole will be in after the first shower in a federal penitientiary? What state do you think it will be in after a week? How long until the sphincter entirely snaps never to seal again, and his lovers will thrust into the equivalent of a too large sausage casing, the frustration over the lack of friction leading to even greater and more calamituous savagery in their rapes? How many new strains of AIDS do you think he will contract, and how quickly will he accumulate them? Are we talking super-AIDS in a manner of minutes, or in a manner of weeks? Do you think he is a religious man? Will he pray during that first painful thrust, and if so, do you think he will still pray on the 50.000th, or will he have abandoned all faith by then? How many days until all his teeth have been knocked out, to ease entry into his throat? Will he be spitroasted often, or will it be more rarely?

So yeah, there's going to be lots and lots of cop literature exploring a hitherto unseen magnitude and severity of rape, and that might be interesting in a morbid way.

the fact that most cop murders are upon whites, 2x as often actually, should also pop up in these complaints, but they don't because context doesn't matter to you ideologues.

I mention the brutal beating of a 15 year old white girl and this how you respond? That is their reparations. And more will come. 3 have already died in Ireland by the immigrants mobs. Again, no one is doing anything because cowards like you have made a religion out of self-loathing.

Very keen to use this sophist ploy, I see.
Whataboutism is a fraudulent idea, because when one makes a strong and broad proposition about reality, they should be ready to be scrutinized. For example, claiming there's systematic and unfairly discrimination against blacks on the basis of one incident as a holistic application to the country can be fairly countered by showing whites unjustly treated in even more incidents. Or, to say there needs to be awareness for justice in this instance, on basis of its qualities, can be similarly responded to.
But because the original proposition is a disingenuous one, its authors will revert to something as flimsy as citing whataboutism.
It's not "whataboutism." It's asking that you be consistent in your worldview, and statements you make.
This is why whataboutism is popular as a rhetorical device among lefties and resistors, so why don't you duck off back there faggots.

Truth is not in particulars excluded from the rest which do not conform to your mold. this is worse then empericism because you end up repeating whatever is massaged into your brain by ideologues and media.

>We Are The Cops is an adrenalin-fuelled ride through the lives of America's police, told in the authentic voices of the cops themselves. The journey begins with the rookie's first day on the job, and moves through the heartbreak of officers dying in the line of duty, the bloody reality of policing savage gang wars, the devastating consequences of drug crime, a gut-wrenching cop's eye view of 9/11, and even an encounter with a runaway gorilla called Little Joe. These real life stories from crime fighting's front line come from cops of every rank, from chiefs to street cops, working in big cities and small towns all over the US. The result is a stunning montage of brutal, funny and sometimes tragic true events which paints a vivid and unforgettable portrait of life as an American cop.

Do you think those are the words that are keeping Derek Chauvin from hanging himself right now? The belief that somehow, prison guards who cannot even prevent the systematic rape of prisoners who aren't universally reviled and known to everyone, will somehow be able to prevent it for the man that everyone, every single big-dicked nigga in american jail wants to rape? That chronically understaffed prisons, with underpaid guards, that these guards will risk their own life, that they will intervene between Derek Chauvin and a pack of lust-crazed and hatefilled black men with rage in their eyes, throbbing, huge erections and testosterone coursing in their blood?

I'm sitting here wondering if he'll actually die from it, and if so, how long it will take. One can imagine the repeated rapes will eventually tear his colon to shreds, perhaps leading to fecal seepage into the blood and sepsis.
Maybe that's how he dies? Raped until his blood turned to shit?

Who would be the best author to describe such atrocity, such horror? I'm thinking McCarthy. It'd be really interesting if Pynchon did a short slapstick story about Chauvin dropping the soap though, but that'd be a very different story.

I read cope, cope, cope, cope, cope. The justice system does not care. The guards do not care - do you honestly think prison guards want to risk their lives for a murderer out of racial solidarity, a murderer who is so universally reviled that only /pol/ defends him? The prison nazis are outnumbered - is that not the case? Is it not the case that blacks make up the majority of the prison population? - and you underestimate the sheer amount of hatred for Chauvin, the unending cost of protecting him from repeated and forceful attempts at his asshole. Every black man has it out for him. How long until prison nazis will no longer foot the cost of repeated assaults by a more numerous foe?

If it helps you sleep, by all means, believe that Chauvin's punishment will be within the framework of civilized legality. But you know, deep down, that it will not. It will be a punishment of such unbelievable brutality and savagery that we will need dark poetry to even indicate the evils that will befall Derek Chauvin's poor little asshole.

Lol, you are just some clearly mentally unstable individual who reads too much gay erotica. What could you possible know about any of this? Watch the video. Do some work on Google.

>>15669569
Got to you, did it? Protective custody is not cheap, nor is it granted leniently. American prisons are for profit. Almost only bona-fide nazi /pol/tards believe that Chauvin deserves humane treatment. Go figure.
But let's play along. Chauvin is taken out of genpop, and is now in the PC unit. Which is also full of people who want to rape him. It solves the problem how?
His option is solitary confinement. That would also be an interesting prison story - how his mind unravels, how his very soul is chipped away piece by piece, until nothing remains. Less outright brutality, but at least the same savagery of punishment, but colder, perhaps even more cruel.

This sounds like a great book:

Violent crime has been rising sharply in many American cities after two decades of decline. Homicides jumped nearly 17 percent in 2015 in the largest 50 cities, the biggest one-year increase since 1993. The reason is what Heather Mac Donald first identified nationally as the "Ferguson effect": Since the 2014 police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, officers have been backing off of proactive policing, and criminals are becoming emboldened. This book expands on Mac Donald's groundbreaking reporting on the Ferguson effect. It deconstructs the central narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement: that racist cops are the greatest threat to young black males.

The War on Cops exposes the truth about officer use of force and explodes the conceit of "mass incarceration". A rigorous analysis of data shows that crime, not race, drives police actions and prison rates. The growth of proactive policing in the 1990s, along with lengthened sentences for violent crime, saved thousands of minority lives. In fact, Mac Donald argues, no government agency is more dedicated to the proposition that "black lives matter" than today's data-driven, accountable police department.

I almost want large cities to dismantle their police departments and give into the mob demands, part of me thinks a return to the 70s/80s crime wave will give privileged self-victimizing Americans some perspective. Of course it won't bother the wealthy, they'll be able to hire their own private security. It's so ironic to see "progressives" attacking a very progressive institution: the public police department.

You mean the paid voluntary labor which prisoners are not required to do?

>> No.15672285

>>15672184
It's typically "paid" less than 5% of minimum wage (i.e. literally pennies per hour) and is not always voluntary. In many states it's perfectly legal to give the choice of work or solitary. The 13th Amendment says plainly that prisoners can be used as slaves.
You're also completely ignoring that cartoonishly high incarceration rate by sidestepping it into a different question. Maybe it's true that most prisoners can choose to do labor, but why do we have so many people in prison? Well, because there's a lot of money to be made by having them there, even if they get a "choice."

Why is it that most right wingers I've met are willing to at least countenance the "economic" explanations given by leftists for black misbehavin', but leftists are completely incapable of even considering the cultural hypothesis, that blacks have a shitty fatalistic culture that glorifies violence and crime?

I'm not saying you have to believe one or the other entirely. I'm just saying that right wingers will at least make an effort to factor in economic causes, in my experience, but leftists act like used car salesmen trying to get you to buy their whole story or bust.

Because it doesn't even try to refute the original argument, it just stunts the discussion and tries to change the topic by evading the main argument. Example:

Person A: Danny stole my bike.
Person B: Many people also steal bikes. Therefore, what Danny did doesn't matter.

It's irrelevant to the argument what external entities do. It leads to nowhere. It's an obnoxious rock on the road.

>That doesn't refute anything.
Technically, "tu quoque" (aka whataboutism, to use retarded contemporary vernacular) doesn't refute the other side's argument.

But it can effectively knock down and take the steam out of the argument.

In short, a good tu quoque can **win** an argument, in real life, even if it falls short of some arbitrary marquess of queensbury rules for refuting an opponent's argument.

And **everybody** does it, including the jackasses who bitch about "whataboutism" when it's done to them.

This fact is relevant because it establishes that purveyors of the "whataboutism" trope are hypocrites (the fact someone is a hypocrite does not, of course, refute the argument that the hypocrite makes -- it just eliminates the weight and force of the argument).
