#cops are not our friends

Posting this again for reasons... giving cops more money is NOT the answer

since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:

its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????

at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?

in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran

the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline

#like ok. i dont exactly support izzys actions but i honestly dont see it as that big of a deal??? to our characters i mean #idk i just. its a dick move!! but i struggle to see it as any more than that #its the actions of a desperate man who made a stupid decision to get his.... ed. out of what he saw as a bad situation #whether it is or not i cant say! but you cant deny ed drastically changed in the time he was on the revenge #in a way that could be concerning from the outside #(i saw a good post kinda comparing it to your friend ending up in a cult and. yeah. excellent description from an outside perspective) #idk theres a lot of. undertones in the way people say 'calling the police' and also they always say ed too and its like. no! izzy tried to #get ed out of there! he set the navy on everyone BUT ed. and its not like the navy really cared about the crew. only stede #i am not the person to talk about why 'calling the cops' is a bad take but the posts are out there. ive seen them. #izzy did what hundreds of pirates did to save their own hide- including hornigold himself (but honestly that was worse because he actively #turned hunter. not just a guy with a tip) #also side historic note that uhh. the navy was casually in Nassau. what exactly was the situation there??? was shit occurring. w #we know it did in history #idk #nyxtalks #ofmd #izzy hands #israel hands #spanish jackie 🤝 izzy: girlbosses for selling stede out to the British/Spanish for their own gain #idk i think thats the one thing he did 'wrong' but ita still very sympathetic to me #its not like izzy dibbed in a guy nobody cared about #'hey hey ill sell you information about this pirate please let me sell you information' ' i mean i guess we are supposed to be doing that' #badminton had an active vendetta against stede and kinda seemed like. he would stop at nothing to get him??? #given. the whole 'id rather let blackbeard go and kill Stede than take a huge pirate into custody' thing

sorry i just remembered my stupid fuckig forensics class I took in high school. the teacher was a bootlicker but like one time he had us fill out a questionnaire on “sonething we might be addicted to” and got mad when all of us chose shit like coffee or video games or our phone. like did he actually expect us to admit to taking drugs.

#only fun part of that class was making our own crime scene and slideshow dissecting it everything w #everything else was fucking lame and shitty #he was also a jackass about schizophrenia saying ‘they’re prone to violence’ #words from the monarch #i took that class thinking it would be more about Dissevting Crime Scenes like this only cool project I mentioned but it was mostly ‘the po #‘the police are your friends :) you shouldn’t be scared of cops unless you did something wrong :)’ type shit

In reflecting upon my 29 years upon this earth, I have realized that I have done relatively harmless actions that others would most definitely not approve of. I am curious if I am alone in these or if they are as common as I think they are.

(sorry if some of these are more anatomy specific)

#polls #im not a cop i swear #im just avoiding my job #to clarify the bar story - my friends and I played 'Allstar' 8 times on repeat in a small town bar #our bartender did NOT like us

Just remembered when my 11th grade sociology & psychology teacher told us that she always kept her front door & her car unlocked bc if someone stole something from her then it means they're desperate enough to need it

While I do think that's awesome thinking, I always keep my doors locked because cops are the most likely people to break into your house & I've only ever been robbed by them😬

#happened to my friend in 2016 when the cops found out she had weed in the house (before it was legal) #they busted in and took all her weed & smoking pieces w guns out #she had like. 7g of weed. #and that's how we found out a ''friend'' of ours was a narc who was working for the cops #and THAT'S how we found out that the reason she worked for the cops is bc she went to jail for.... #taking a video of her fucking her dog. #that she always brought over. #.bdo

family lore is the best drama in the world. soap opera level stories and your parents, aunties, uncles and grandparents are just so blunt about it cause they thought you knew

#just off the top of my head: my great grandfather left his family to run to london with my great grandma's best friend #my grandma and great aunt once had a fight so bad they didn't talk for 5yrs even though they lived across the street from each other #my mom was in a student riot #apparently cousins on my grandmas side got caugt smuggling weed to the us and did time for trafficking in the 70s #my grandfather spent 2 years working in germany during which he started a workers riot and 'accidentally' went to a gay club several times #when castro came to the island cops raided and searched every house on our street bc it overlooked a hospital he was visiting #and they were concerned about assassination attempts #trash posts

one of my flatmates whom i thought i was chill w is now saying racist shit about me to my other flatmate AND being a giant fucking dick to us both about a contract renewal...when she literally doesn't have a visa or the right to rent in the UK.

#and has an illegal sublet going on!! #kill the cop in ur head etc but i am not letting a white european woman weaponize the law against me <3 #i will weaponize it right back!! #thankfully flatmate no. 2 is being super understanding of the situation even though she's got a bad bargain too #like mate we're all trying to cut our losses here!! #two of us are being transparent and communicating w everyone who needs to be involved!! #but one of u mayonnaise dumbasses is being rude and making unfair demands of two people who CAN prove legal right to stay in the UK <3 #acc to the lease #if she continues living here WHILE illegal #i and the other flatmate are liable for legal action to be taken against us which is nawt something i wanna be embroiled in ofc #like respectfully ma'am you have done NOTHING to earn my goodwill and we are not friends #i was still willing to be accommodating and considerate of u!! #but ur being rude and racist and inconsiderate!! so gn and fuck off

There’s a time and a place to criticize or make fun of someone’s religion and culture, just like anything else. A family/a community still being highly psychologically distressed from shock, trauma, and grief is a good starting point with when to remind yourself to stfu with that.

#… #coming from an area with a lot of shootings and gun suicides (that’s rlly our highest stat although ppl never bring that up) #Texans know the stats and reality because we live here. if we wanted guns gone we would vote for it. but we don’t because it’s a literal #important cultural hobby here and sport and chill-out downtime and way to talk to family and friends etc. #if the minority numbers want to speak out against Texan guy laws after more trauma in a community that affects them that’s diff #but I’m exhausted with asshole liberals and lefties being more offensive and condescending to Texans than anything when a shoot is reported. #and they aren’t even Texan or living here and understanding how the cultures here are like #**gun laws #and tbfh even a lot of the cop shootings here? suicide-by-cop. there were 2 in my area that I know of last year that were big/shooter alert. #🎭👸🏻

also i think exorcism/possession horror is just christian propaganda

#speakerphone! #theres something wrong withthis person and the cops cant help. the doctors cant help. family and friends cant help. #but you know who can? you know who has the answers to everything? our lord and savior jesus christ. #which is sad bc exorcisms are genuinely a horrific practice and you could talk abt how people who were exorcised were victims of abuse. #and that would genuinely be an interesting pov for a horror movie. #but no. i have to sit through 2 hours of a movie telling me if i dont have faith in christian god the devil will take me.

id like to say. six hours after reblogging a post. (i was at work). that me being grounded by my mom that 1 time for a whole month was specifically for getting caught by police NOT for the graffiti itself. my mom had 1 strong policy in the house which was you can do whatever you want forever but do not make me have to deal with some bullshit

#it wasn't serious bc at 13 they couldn't charge us for it she just had to deal with my friends' moms' phone calls and come pick me up early #not even a fine or anything they just took our names to scare us off. loser cop made me lose a month of my young life over nothing #personal

[isthisjackie]

What also sucks is that I don’t have another therapy session scheduled until 3 weeks from now for a variety of reasons, and now I’m gonna have to actually do the boundaries thing when I didn’t think I’d have to so soonnnn

#personal #I am losing my mind rn #like I feel like no matter what I do I’m gonna feel like shit #like my friend told me I’m the only one she told some of this heavy stuff to #and now she feels better bc she has someone to tell when she feels overwhelmed #and like I do not want to be that person #and I feel shitty that she was vulnerable with me #and I know she’s gonna take it super personally #like I wanna do a cop out and blame it on school #or say I’m doing it with everyone #and those are maybe like half truths #and it’s like my stress gets passed on to my bf #bc he gets very frustrated with her expectations of me #and like how our friendship dynamic works #which adds more stress to me bc I know he’s probs right #my therapist also agreed with him and said if someone like him is telling me the same stuff #I should probs take it into consideration #it feels very complicated and exhausting and like none of my other friendships are like this

[syvvieon]

I feel like theatre kids have a really strong natural instinct for how much of a pause you should keep before you say something because like.

okay. when i'm messing around with Mom theatre friends and we say something at the same time it's always off like. one of us is slightly behind or whatnot.

but my theatre friends? PERFECT. like someone says something, slight dramatic pause, and then PERFECT unison when we jinx eachother. without trying. no messy "speaking at different speeds." it's almost culty

#theatre kid #theatre #high school theatre #high school theater #theater kid #theater #one of our friends got a cop in the one act #so i yelled “pig!” #and then me and my other friend yelled “acab” in perfect unison #we were like. shocked for a second #before bursting out laughing. of course

[splodey-goat]

I don't begrudge anyone for ever being like "yeah I don't know if I really wanna be your friend" and especially not just, like, drifting away y'know?

But the point it immediately switches from "aw, sad, that friendship got away from us huh" to "hey fuck you actually it kinda sucks I even miss you at this point" is when you just, like, leave mt discord server, or block me on some social media. Like how hard is it to go "hey I'ma leave the server for a while" before you go and just not come back.

Like if you're gonna make a clean break like that you definitely at least have enough of a valid reason to be like "what you've been posting has been kinda upsetting so I just don't want it on my timeline rn" like that's fine. Me noticing a week later you're not there doesn't just tell me you have some problem with me it tells me you think so little of me that the shock and hurt of seeing you just ditching was preferable to whatever you imagined I'd say.

#for context I was looking for an old chat in my discord server and it's like #literally impossible to search anything in there without seeing someone I considered a real good friend for a long time showing up #and like I'll even freely admit I was probably the more negative and antagonistic one toward the end but still like #So I think about this pretty often cause I have a lot of ideas or media in our chat logs I go back to #Happened with another friend in the same server but that friend actually DM'ed me like a month later #and explained he left unannounced cause he didn't like how we were all bashing the cops in Spiderman for PS4 #so that cut actually got a lot less painful after hearing that lol

[suculentt]

me: it's okay to open up your heart again! you are allowed to love and be loved! the love you may feel for another will not replace the love you had for her, but she's gone now and she would want you to move on!!

my bird: (⊚ ө ⊚) ?

#tw pet loss #my blue bird passed away she our gray bird misses her dearly #we got a new green bird to be his new friend but hes afraid and hes cold toward the new bird #its like in a cop/detective show where his previous partner passed away during a case and now he wont let himself befriend his new partner #hes always been so social and snuggly and loving so its hard to see him give the new bird the cold shoulder and being rude to him #mumbles #lineolated parakeet #linnies

I'm always annoyed when people talk about France in regard of protest/insurrection because on one hand there's an issue of French people being portrayed as ferocious revolutionary who will fight anything, which is an exaggeration...

But then there's always someone going "oh but they don't have violent cops that kill" them, and like... yes we do, that's also a problem here.

#i was terrified once because my best friend was in a city where someone was killed by being thrown in a river by cops #And I was scared that she might have been beaten up and hurt. #So like no our cops are as much fascist and as dangerous as anywhere else

[lord-squiggletits]

The most unrealistic part about exRID is that people actually got mad about Jazz killing a cop.

#squiggposting #this is a shitpost but also that whole plot point genuinely pissed me off because it was so fucking stupid lmao #i would get it if it was framed as like 'he killed a human being!' but like #every single time the incident was brought up it was like 'jazz killed a cop he killed a cop he killed a cop he killed a cop' #to the point that journalists in fucking MEXICO were pissed off about a cop in THE USA getting killed #while he was firing on a group of injured and surrendering autobots no less #and like that ties into the whole 'autobots bad' plot which was stupid in itself #ah yes one single autobot killed one single cop in defense of his friends who were injured and surrendering #that's totally the same as the decepticons killing LITERALLY A BILLION HUMANS IN A PLANET WIDE RAID #anyways let's help the decepticons build their totally peaceful space commune in jupiter's orbit #that's totally peaceful and they definitely won't use it to attack us #because we apparently don't trust the decepticons but we do trust them enough to.... #help them BUILD A FUCKING BASE IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM???? #AFTER THEY ALREADY KILLED 1 BIL HUMAN BEINGS??? AND ONE OF THE DECEPTICONS ASKING US TO HELP BUILD THEIR COMMUNE #IS ONE OF THE FUCKING GUYS WHO WAS ON THE GROUND HELPING THE INVASION AND KILLING PEOPLE???
