Saw a guy in italy almost ram a cop car atan intersection. I think the driver was running a red light, but could have been the cop running a red. Anyhow, the driver breaks just before the cop car, and the cop on the passanger side just gesticulates his discontent but they just keep rolling on anyway. They could not be bothered.

in Italy

Just gesticulates his discontent

Wait, I think I know how that looked like.

Are you saying you want more active enforcement?

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Italian drivers are fucking insane, it was probably just Tuesday for the cop

Sounds hard to believe. Or maybe the cops in my city have less empathy.

If you were conscious but stabbed, a police officer would absolutely spend a few minutes writing a report while waiting for paramedics.

Driving while intoxicated, they might still fine you for that.

If you were brown and drunk, they'd probably arrest you.

If you were brown, drunk, and the knife was within arms reach, you'd be tased and arrested for assaulting the officer.

The point I'm trying to make: being stabbed does not stop a police officer from doing their favorite job in the world


beating innocent people.

Depends, cops also HATE fucking working if they got some where to be.

I've seen city cops in fact, let off some pretty bad drunk driving just because they don't want to deal with it.

Image from the funniest part of a movie that I won’t spoil because I was surprised and wish I could watch it again for the first time.

Pretty sure he is talking about Burn After Reading, the green text image is from that movie.

I accidentally spoiled that part for my wife. I had already seen it several times before and was watching it again with her. She had her head on my chest and apparently my heart started beating faster at the ramp up to that part, so she knew what was about to happen and called it right before it happened.
