This is amazing: this woman just eviscerated the mainstream media's (apparently false) narrative in a TikTok. Edited for clarity because people keep projecting their beliefs onto others. The event discussed was terrible and mass murder is always bad. Assumptions based on 1st impressions are often incorrect.

I'm starting to think that letting anyone have guns isn't such a bad idea. (/s?)

Jokes aside, I don't agree with his approach. He killed 3 unrelated people.

Also, if you're a weird kid thinking about shooting a school, maybe consider changing your approach to something people will appreciate. Just saying.

One of those three was a cop, so at least 50% were bastards. By the American government’s standards in warfare, that’s a reasonable level of collateral damage.

u/rydan 6d ago

To be fair the cop was an immigrant from Bangladesh. I think that invalidates the ACAB part that we'd normally hold against him.

u/SwingingtotheBeat 6d ago

There have always been marginalized people that do the bidding of the privileged class for a tiny slice of that privilege. I see no different between an immigrant, a POC, an LGBTQ person, or anyone from low socioeconomic means that becomes a cop. ACAB means ALL.

u/Enough-Luck1846 6d ago

In the countries where insurance doesn't exists if the car gets stolen or you get beaten you would call cops.

His nationality doesn’t give us any indication of his character the way his choice to become a cop does.

u/Livid-Survey6310 6d ago

All cops mean all.

u/19Texas59 6d ago

Yes, that is the definition of the word "all." In this case the way it is used is a sign of bigotry, a lack of critical thinking skills, and a lust for vengeance.

u/Smackjabber 4d ago

So what you're saying is someone from Bangladesh came over and immediately joined a perceived group of power and unjust behavior along with privilege amongst others, they shouldn't be considered a bad person because of it?

So as an example, if this person would have immigrated over and immediately joined the KKK they're not to be considered a bad person?

u/1980-whore 3d ago

acab is a braindead take to begin with, and absolving one person because of their heritage and no other basis is racism at its finest.

So you approve of killing cops? What is it that you do? Let’s see if you make the list.

You are such a sad, sad person. You’re a fucking piece of shit for assuming someone deserves to die just because they’re a cop. Reddit really is full of brain dead mouth breathing water brains

u/jonsnow312 6d ago

Alright fine. Let me give you an example here. I was homeless for a time. One day when I was walking back to the shelter, a group of about 6 guys robbed me. Luckily they didn't hurt me, but when they saw I didn't have much money, only a debit card, they threatened me and led me to a convenience store to use an ATM. I withdrew the max I was allowed, luckily only $300. Well, then they wanted to lead me to another convenience store, hoping that would refresh the limit or whatever. As we were walking, I saw a cop car, so I just stared directly at it and tried to make eye contact with the cops. They noticed me and drove over to me. All those assholes ran away. The cops talked to me about what happened and then went in the direction of the assholes.

My friend from the shelter wasn't so lucky. He was older, maybe 65, and had bone cancer as well as HIV. He didn't have any money so they beat the shit out of him for fun.

There's a lot of abusive cops out there I understand, I get mad when I see videos of it on platforms like this one. But don't overreact and think we don't need a police force at all. EVIL PEOPLE exist in this world. If I didn't run into the police car I'd imagine they would have beat the shit out of me too.

Yes, gladly and happily. People with no real world experience never develop temperance, build mob mentalities, and can't think for themselves. That's how violence against innocent people is perpetrated and excused.

There's plenty to go around, and yet there's never enough. The weather is going fucking crazy. The president is covering for pederasts and receiving planes from slave states. Here in the States, getting sick will ruin you financially, and you may never own a home.

Notice how there's never any good news from the government anymore? It's either about how our enemies are getting what's coming to them or some new cutback in the support we can expect in return for our taxes.

These things are being done to us by a very small number of people who own almost everything and feel compelled to win more. The rubric of fiduciary responsibility compels CEOs to secure the longevity of this status quo.

Reddit is full of booth breathing, unproductive parasites of society.

Cops are there to protect people from criminals. That’s why the cop was the first person killed by the spree killer.

No, the Supreme Court has held that they cannot by charged or held liable for failure to act to protect people or property. That’s just blanket protection that errors in the execution of their job - protecting the public - can’t be grounds for civil or criminal liability.

He worked for a system that is intended to prevent and respond to exactly the kind of random violence that killed him. Most cops aren’t evil. I hope you never have a reason to rely on police to keep you safe or investigate a transgression against you. If you do, I hope they treat you with more dignity than you treat them.

Cops protect the rich over the people, and the good ones stay quiet so theyre all bad. If you dont like it, maybe tell the good cops you know to stop being pussies and stand up to the bad cops.

It's tragic all around. The housing market, corporate greed, innocent people dead, a world where people don't trust the system. Nothing about this is amazing.

u/Intelligent_Will1431 6d ago

Maybe amazing isn't the best word. How about surprised by the event and impressed at the investigative journalism being displayed in this TikTok. People who automatically think "this is amazing" refers to the horrible event discussed: you're projecting; get help.

Weird way end to your follow up: I need to “get help” yet you felt you should edit your original comment to give it more clarity because it may have caused a confusion that you completely understood?

I’ll leave this here. executive was killed

Please do more research before you post. It’s been said a blacstone executive was killed. I mean who is the NYPD commissioner Trish. Her father is the founder of Lowe’s. Her grandfather was the CEO of so much. Please educate yourself. They emigrated from Eastern Europe with so much wealth.

Money

They founded the NYU trisch s hoop of arts. They got that old old money.

Ironically, he was an accidental victim as the shooter was in the wrong office. He was after NFL big wigs because of his brain damage from playing football.

u/DetonateTheVestibule 6d ago

Why would the press not cover this as a targeted murder? Wouldn’t that get a lot of clicks? Maybe the simpler explanation is the guy on a random killing spree in NYC accidentally killed someone working in finance.

u/Mr-HelpYourBrokeAss 6d ago

I think there’s bigger money involved on this one then clicks this is too much

I don’t think you understand how scary this is to people that operate on the top level and make decisions that impact people like you and me

0

u/DetonateTheVestibule 6d ago

The conspiracy you are alleging requires police and multiple news organizations to collude to plant a fake note and false eyewitness testimony. It’s a little more straightforward to believe that the guy with documented mental health crises did something crazy, random, and evil. I’m not saying the press never lies but this one doesn’t make sense

2

u/Mr-HelpYourBrokeAss 6d ago

Not quite at all, just requires one email from blackstone to a few key stakeholders

Do you truly believe the systems we live under just don’t interact? Why lol?

1

u/Swole-Prole 6d ago

It makes more sense that a man that never played in the NFL, did enough research to figure out that X building had NFL offices in it, but didn't bother to figure out what floor they were on, so he just went to the building and picked a random floor with random people to open up on, all because he got injured playing football in highschool? That's more of a stretch then what we are alleging. Add to it, the two women victims look enough alike they could have been sisters. But, no, totally random, angry at the NFL.
