See, the issue with your statement is the "you" part. As a dark skinned person with leftist political stances, I don't believe I can get away with what cops do.

Cops are just one of many examples. Here are some other ways of legally killing people:

  • joining the army
  • becoming a doctor and systemically neglect women and poc
  • fatally injuring someone in self defense
  • getting someone pregant in places with abortion bans

Notice that I said killing, not 'murdering'. So long as it's either not deliberate or acceptable by law, you can legally get people killed.

How would they even prove intent in any of those cases? Has that ever actually happened?

[-] Rachelhazideas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You can't always prove intent. That's why some of these problems are systemic. Which one are you doubting? There are too many examples of each for me to list all of them.

[-] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

All of them, honestly. I'm not asking to argue any point or any other; I'm genuinely curious, you seem to know more about it than I do and I am too lazy to Startpage it.

Fuck, I forgot Poland has abortion bans too. How monstrous. I applaud them for rising up against their oppressive government, though; they're better than we are. Americans are completely cowed and accepting of anything no matter how vile or horrific.
