It's so weird to me that police are expected to handle so many different types of cases. Like, you wouldn't expect a scientist to excel in chemistry, biology, physics, medicine, ecology, and more, so why try to have the police handle everything from teens selling drugs to brutal serial killing? Why not have different groups set up and spread the funding more, introduce more de-escalation training, etc. if not just rebuild the system from the ground up.
There's so many things that they should be trained in and honestly if they were it would probably reduce the people who become police to people who actually want to help people
I like what Jyn's saying!

Also there's probably something to be said about how cops in media are shown. Don't watch a lot of cop movies/tv shows, but I recently watched a video by Jack Saint about violence as comedy in cop media that was pretty interesting.

okay so i'm the biggest fan of procedural shows, things like law and order, ncis, criminal minds, etc
and let me tell you. even not as comedy, you can taste the violence. i'll watch them, and i'll watch one of the cops/detectives/specialists kick in a door without knocking or a warrant, and i cringe. i have to get up and leave sometimes, during the scenes where they apprehend criminals, because of the force they use. yes, they are catching bad people. but even when the people aren't bad, i've watched the likeable main characters bash someone's head into the hood of a car, or into a wall, for struggling a bit. they'll hit like this isn't an arrest, but a streetfight.
which is about the point i go into a longwinded rant to my very tired of hearing it parents about how the casual police brutality in media and tv is why so many people defend violence perpetuated by cops, is why so many people expect it and see it coming and are surprised to be taken in gently. it's why so many cops go into being cops knowing that they can get away with violence, and do just that.
It's super toxic, yeah. And it has a sort of CSI Effect where it bleeds into reality.

I mean the cops dealing with teens selling drugs out in the street are not the same cops dealing with homocides. There are different teams for those sorts of things.

Ah, alright. I am admittedly not too well-versed in cop lore.
cop lore.

I'm tired okay

Hello Internet, welcome to Cop Theory
Cop canon
But yeah those are all good points! Tbh I just really wanted to educate myself but didn't know where to look(and I use a school-owned laptop and don't particularly want to risk someone bringing up the fact that I'm going on political sites to my parents) so yeah!! The reform thing was definitely new, that should be talked about more! Although yeah I'm pretty sure there are different departments but still!

I really don't like some people
Oh mood? What happened tho
Oof dude ๐
The amount of JD simps in the Heathers fandom will never fail to alarm me
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

Like, I get that the actor is considered hot or whatever, but J.D. is a serial killer? His relationship with Veronica (especially in the movie) is toxic?
It's especially gross due to the fact that there's people who fangirl over the fucking Columbine shooters and that sort of thing.
He's a serial killer who tried to blow up the school (and in the original ending for the movie, he did) and also sexually assaulted Veronica on at least one occasion and his little "I love you veronica" song at the end does not redeem him or make him a good person. He's a psychopath so please stop crying about his death and saying he and Veronica should have gotten a happy ending. Because if he lived, the cycle would have continued, he would NOT have gotten help. Stop ๐ pining๐ for ๐a ๐psychopath ๐
I prefer the musical but honestly the movie did such a better job at portraying their relationship as the toxic hell it was, but of course the 12 year olds who love the musical haven't seen it because it's rated R and very much inappropriate for children
dude the burn scene in the movie, which I have seen seven times, is so. god it makes me so uncomfy to watch but it really honestly shows you just how toxic the relationship is
I'm going to be rude to our extremely outdated and blatantly false education system because the amount of really talented artists I've watched struggle with mixing colors or color theory in general because the literal core, primary colors were dumbed down for them their entire life is depressing.
Blue and yellow don't make green. Blue and yellow will never make green. They are on opposite sides of the color wheel. I know it seems like such a small thing but dear gosh something needs to be done about this i'm sick of watching people lose hope in design over such small things
cyan and yellow make green, if I recall correctly. magenta, yellow, and cyan are the most ideal primary colors (at least on the digital scale, not sure about paints), not red blue and yellow
not to be an art nerd, but with the original toxic mineral paints it kinda worked for mixing colors. Now though often the "primary blue" is too purple and "primary yellow" is actually more orange than true yellow. Thats why greens mixed with primary colors don't look nice. On the other side, sometimes the "primary blue" the school buys is too green, which is why we have the travesty that is trying to mix purple with blue-green and a reddish orange, which act as they should to make a nice grey. True primary colors are a pure light blue (yay expensive lapis lazuli), a bright yellow, and a cool red/almost magenta color.
So pretty much blame crappy paint companies who make cheap "primary" labeled colors cause they look nicer, along with the education system that didn't notice.
magenta doesn't exist circe
that's why i said on the digital scale babe. this is what i learned in com art. what digital colors to use. we didn't do any painting
magenta doesn't exist circe
Magenta is indeed false but I raise you: colors do not exist. All color is is how our brain translates electromagentic waves bouncing off of objects. There are people who have a fourth cone who can see further on the spectrums and therefore more colors (dogs have 2 and mantis shrimp have over 12).
every color is really just green, except for green itself
