the LAPD is having a town hall and getting fucking eviscerated
The automated YouTube captions are bad in places so here is a transcription of this incredible call.
[Video description: A Zoom call featuring a video grid of seven attendees, all of whom are members of the Los Angeles Police Commission. There is a timer in the upper left corner for callers keeping them to two minutes. The current caller is Jon Barr.]
LAPC President Eileen Decker, responding to the question “can you hear me?”: Yes, we can.
Barr: Great. Uh, first things first: Chief Moore, you’ve got to do a better job of pretending you care about this, man. I’ve been watching you roll your eyes and offer halfhearted smirks acting like a teenager who’s falling asleep in detention. Are you not aware of the war crimes your department’s doing, or are you just that impatient to go do more of them? I see a lot of you, particularly Soboroff, only react when folks use profanity in their remarks. If you think curse words are bad, wait until you hear about these 600-plus murders your department has committed over the last seven years! As long as Moore’s out here equating peaceful protestors with cops who murder black people, you all could pretend to be as angry about murder as the F-word, okay kids? I know you’re all having a rough day, what with everyone here telling you you’re bad at your jobs. Have you considered being good at your jobs? If not, you could find new jobs in retail or restaurants. I know how desperate Garcetti is to get Angelenos consuming again during a global pandemic. Where were the curfews then, by the way? Weird. Chief Moore is morally obligated to resign. Mikey, I know you said you didn’t mean protestors are as much to blame for George Floyd’s murder as his murderers – that’s a lie! It is what you meant! And we all know it. Mikey’s made it clear in his racist actions and empty platitudes that he doesn’t care about the well-being of his constituents. He loves to tear gas them, blind them, force them indoors with curfews that are announced only a half-hour before they take effect, and racially profile as he does so! Don’t think I didn’t hear about how yesterday you sent out an alert in English saying curfew started at 5PM, and sent out an alert right after in Spanish saying it started at 6! What’s up with that, bud? All your cute Zoom background photos of the city won’t trick us into thinking you care about anyone but yourselves and what’s in your pockets. To close with a James Cameron quote, “Cops think of all non-cops as less than they are: stupid, weak, and evil. They dehumanize the people they are sworn to protect, and desensitize themselves in order to do that job.” That’s you pigs to a T. Black lives matter, act like it. Happy Tuesday.
This one was amazing.
I’m also a big fan of this one- short and sweet
[Video description: Zoom call featuring a video grid of seven attendees, all of whom are members of the Los Angeles Police Commission. There is a timer in the upper left corner for callers set to 30 seconds. The current caller is Jeremy Frisch.]
Frisch: Hello can you hear me?
Woman: Hi, yes.
Frisch [getting progressively louder and angrier]: Black lives matter, defund the police. I find it disgusting that the LAPD is slaughtering peaceful protestors on the street. I had two friends go to the protest in Beverly Hills a couple days ago and the protest was peaceful until the police showed up with their excessive violent force, shooting rubber bullets and throwing tear gas.
[Frisch is now yelling]
Is this what you think is protecting and serving? Because I think it’s bullshit! Fuck you Michael Moore! I refuse to call you an officer or a chief because you don’t deserve those titles. You are a disgrace! Suck my dick and choke on it! I yield my time. FUCK YOU!
Holy mother of FUCK they went off
Thank you, thank you thank you for transcribing this because I was in a position with my “neutral” family where I couldn’t listen. Thank you
‘Suck my dick and choke on it! I yield my time. FUCK YOU!’
Succinct and beautiful. Give this man a medal
there are people you haven’t met yet who will love you

How close do their borders come to?
Hmmm…Seems like they touch.

…Wow….
i opened this ugly app to do something but I can’t remember what it was
maybe it was to find love
no actually it was so i could find this specific image
the longer I’m parenting-aged the more I realize how disciplinary oriented parenting styles are significantly more deranged than initially assumed
me as a teen watching a parent storm across a room to scream at a child for accidentally spilling paint: hm. This is not good.
me as an adult watching another adult storm across a room to scream at a vulnerable and still developing child for accidentally spilling paint: This is my villain origin story
No really: the child DOES NOT know why they did that. Fine neuro-muscular control still developing, impulse control “burped”, a pet tripped them and you didn’t notice. There are lots of reasons that a child is at the center of a mess that needs to be cleaned up but that is NEVER because they want to hurt you as a person.
I’m currently staring at my 20 month old toddler and she is plenty old enough to have the type of tantrum that involves taking whatever she is holding and throwing in on the floor. Sure it makes a mess. And maybe she stared me dead in eyes for an angry second before dropping a glass of milk on the floor but was not an attack on me or my property. She would have no idea why I was angry at her for something that may have already left her underdeveloped attention span.
Children need positive feedback on dealing with their negative emotions and impulse control; hell - lots of adults do too because they never learned from prior generations of hitting parents.
We children of the hitting generation learned Terror. Fear of your parents doesn’t teach you not to behave a certain way, it only teaches you not to get caught.
Fear of your parents doesn’t teach you not to behave a certain way, it only teaches you not to get caught.
As a person of parenting age, other people my age do NOT take having a child as seriously as they should. Like it’s one of the biggest life altering things you can do as human and people are just like yeah whatever let’s have a kid or two.

zuko, barging into sokka’s tent: hey, how did you— stop screaming, it’s me— how did your mom die?
