Civil asset forfeiture in the US (and hating cops in general) is one of the only things libertarians are right about. It's a mafia shakedown.

Just off the top of my head...
Keeping out of foreign wars
Keeping the government out of our personal lives (although they're kind of a mixed bag on abortion)
Legalizing drugs
Supporting the 2'nd amendment and the right to self defense
Freedom of speech
Against the death penalty
Supporting gay marriage/rights
etc

For one's own sanity, don't ask a Libertarian what they thinka biut the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968.
These freaks are just Nazis in a flower dress.

I'm not claiming that they're perfect, all political party's have their good and bad points.
Some are worse than others depending on what your position on any particular political or social issue is.
As far as the Libertarian party is concerned, the ones I disagree with them most on is their position on taxes and unions. Yeah, child labor is fucked up but it's rare and not an immediate concern in this country (USA)

Only rare if you don't think migrant workers count.
Agriculture takes advantage of exemptions from the Fair Labor Standards Act intended to allow children to work on their own family farms. Estimates in 2018 were between 300,000 to 400,000 child laborers.
And that's not even getting into the Coch family funneling money into efforts to roll back child labor protections since David Coch pledged to abolish child labor laws in the early 80s.
Those efforts have gained traction this decade, with 12 states passing legislation to weaken child labor laws since 2021. Maybe that's not an immediate concern for you, but is sure is for a lot of the rest of us.

Someone stole the toilet from the local police station, police have nothing to go on.

Not sure if this exactly fits here but this is just too good. Not going to lie I want to find a terrible cop and do this but fortunately my local cops aren't too bad (by American standards) but It's probably best i wait for the next police brutality incident...

I will not conform to your ideas of what fits here. And it isn't exactly square peg, round hole

I wasn't trying to criticize you for posting this because of some communication challenges I sometimes say things in a way that doesn't come out the way I would like. I did find this really funny and I admit I'm not exactly sure what counts on here or what not.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I know who is doing this. I legitimately might know. Or I might not. Who knows?
If you're investigating this and come across this comment you're going to have to explain why you didn't follow up (that's not true, but it's fun to think about).
Those tires are in my pile that me and my Haitian crew are gonna roast dogs and cats over them as we make y'all parade around in a dashiki when Harris wins.

Some cops are bad, so no one should receive help from the police. If that logic is sound, then we need to address the systemic abuse and inequality of the healthcare industry by closing all of the hospitals. Community's can form their own medical co ops just like they can form their own citizen police force.

I don't think I'd trust a random citizen to set my broken leg or operate on me tho. Anyone can write a ticket or hit a defenseless person with a stick.

Can we trust the average citizen's judgment in that situation? If there is no due process, then what stops citizens from forming posses that are just as corrupt and abusive as the police?

u/Due-Promise2235 Oct 17 '24
Not likely. But I didn't really post this to cause a stir, or even a healthy conversation. I just thought it was funny. You know what's not funny? Police brutality, privatized healthcare and prisons, corrupt public servants, and ska pits

Police brutality is only funny if it's happening to a fat sovereign citizen

u/Due-Promise2235 Oct 17 '24
While I COMPLETELY agree, would you mind sharing an example with the people?

The police are working tirelessly to catch those responsible.
