This is my thing...COPS REALLY DONT NEED DEFENDING....they don’t need you protecting them by saying “their are some good cops” 😩

They are fine! They got their guns, they have their weapons, they have the justice system on their side, they have government protection and billions of dollars in funding.

They really don’t need you defending them, like at all.

We the people, are the helpless ones, we have none of those things.

I just wish people could see how fucking stupid they look sticking up for police. Baby they don’t need your help. At all. They’re good.

They don’t need to be defended they need to be defunded.

One of the most warmly human things I’ve ever seen was an old parchment from the Irish middle ages, the scribe’s cat had walked across the page and left inky pawprints on the page.

FOUND IT!!!

Oh, here’s another:

It would appear that Asian scribes were also plagued by feline predations:

Fun, someone said the words “prior authorizations” around me and now I’m pissed off at 730am on my day off. I go off on this rant all the time. ALL THE TIME.

Oof. This man gets it.

Every time I have to send a fax to a doctor saying "hey this med needs a PA" I get violently angry.

Hint: if your PA gets denied call your insurance and ask for the credentials of the person who made that call. Usually they will approve it instead of admitting they hired some 18-year-old with no relevant training or experience to scan for buzz-words and just deny everything

[laexploradoraaa]

If you get denied, appeal. It's within your rights and if the appeal is overturned, you will be approved. It happens enough that it's worth the effort. Sometimes it's just a phone call.

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[nmri]

the only reason cops are at pride now is to intimidate gay people into not making it a riot again and i will stand by that fact until the day i die

[vaguelyconcernedtriangle]

If the occasion should arise and I attend a pride festival, I would also like it to not become a riot.

arent they there? to stop any attacks from the anti lgbt groups?? yknow the ones that ALWAYS gather there???

[nmri]

contrary to what this newer generation of lgbt people think, cops are a new addition to prides. only within the past 10/20 years have they actually started “protecting” pride. aka standing around and intimidating the general public. historically, lgbt people have protected ourselves and eachother during pride events. from police in a lot of cases actually. ive been to pride events where the anti lgbt protesters were the ones being “protected” from the pride crowd… the cops arent there for us. theyre there to boost the image of the police force and make us think they care. the only people who feel safe around cops are the classes that they are meant to protect and people who are uneducated about police. (theres a heavy overlap as well.)  you may feel safe around cops but many people do not. theyre literally dogs to the upper class.

2018 Baltimore pride was crashed by terfs who marched with the cops. pigs protected them.

In hamilton ontario the cops let neo nazis attack people and said they didnt help because people didnt want them there

I was at NYC Pride a couple of years ago and a massive section of the main route was completely dedicated to cops. The sight of a prison bus driving by with rainbow flags on it made me sick. That was the year that Toronto Pride asked the police not to bring guns to pride. And so the NYPD invited them to our parade, marching through and proudly brandishing their guns. Back at the Stonewall Inn, people who were protesting the commercialization of Pride were beaten by police. I used to buy some of what the commenters above are saying about protection, but after seeing all of that Pride needs to be anti cop.

my town in CT has an annual, family-friendly Pride In The Park event where theres stuff like drag queen story time, stalls for lgbtq artists to sell their art, face painting, etc. and it’s all very chill and friendly. literally the most tame, relaxed event ever. two years ago the banner at the front of the event was vandalized with homophobic slurs the night before the event, and the organizers decided to independently check the security cam footage before calling the cops…and guess who vandalized the banner! take a wild goddamn guess who sprayed the f slur directly over the words “kids welcome” on this community-funded sign at this community event. it was an off-duty cop from the same unit that was scheduled to show up the next day “for the event’s protection”.
