If they don't get the toys out, then they don't get to keep the toys: bureaucratic incentive amplifies risk.

A couple of years back I was at a wedding and ended up talking to a cop, they were telling us as if it was a good thing how they send out helicopters to catch people underage drinking in parks. Completely absurd and far more of a nuisance than people having a drink.

They also bragged about how their dog handler sicced a dog on a suspect and just let them get mauled, then everyone pretended they didn't see anything happen. Straight-up gloating about police brutality. The job just does not attract well-adjusted people.

Yeah, I realized my mistake, but didn’t refresh quickly enough.

you don't even call the police is your house is burgled. You call insurance.

lmfao, no? What are they going to do? Surround it and start yelling for the fire to come out of the house with its hands behind its back?

They're aiming for the dog.

That's why every civilized country educates officers for years, not just 3-4 weeks.

At least in the world outside of USA.

That's your problem right there: not their job description in the US, which is to do everything wrong & get qualified immunity. In the US, the police are the wrong people to call.

Ambulances are a thing

Yes...she can yell and scream at them and tell the doctors that she's sane and you're lying to control her, that you're abusive, that you time-traveled back from a post-apocolyptic future to prevent the machines from starting a nuclear war, etc.

But that just proves that she's clearly unhinged and in need of serious therapy like a lobotomy or heavy medication.

This is part of what made America "great", in the conservative viewpoint. Dissenters could be easily managed.

And it's starting to seem that we are headed back into that direction. Women get autonomy over reproductive health taken back. For the people of color, we'll bring back Jim Crow. LGBTQ rights are fairly new, those should be able to get clawed back easily.

The rest are all brainwashed into agreement, imprisoned over weed possession or debt, or trapped in a metaphorical prison where they are the only sane people surrounded by idiots.

Then just throw what's left of the voting rights act into the bin and redistrict to ensure perpetual conservative victory. We'll get back there eventually, at this rate.

That's where the word "Hysterectomy" came from.

Even though the word comes from the old Greek root "hyster" for womb, we don't call the organ itself by that name, we use "uterus" (from Latin). The name origins from being the primary treatment for hysteria.

Hysteria, itself, was an official diagnosis until 1980, and while there are medically valid reasons for a hysterectomy, the term itself is rooted in misogyny, and some people want to rename the procedure as a result.
