I understand plenty about how seriously language can affect perception, and you’re in the wrong place if you think I give any fucks about your insults to my intelligence. “This is all sooooooo emotionally charged, please fetch my fainting couch! I simply CAHNT GO ON, it’s TOO MUCH EMOTION and I cahnt even think straight!” 😪

~Words have meanings

~”Child” has a simple meaning

~The technical and typical usage means “not an adult” and/or “under 18”

Good night

Thinking about all those NH no-knock warrants…

I don’t think Manchester SWAT with a tank is a “no-knock”. I mean good that they should be banned, but is this a NH problem? It may be, I just hadn’t heard of it.

SCOTUS.. More like SCROTUM

Ledyard is great (and they reimburse for all ATM fees). They just opened a new branch in Concord.

Other than that, DCU is good too!

>Headlines are not facts. We don’t know that he even had the knife when he was shot, only that it was mentioned in the 911 call.

Again, for the reading impaired:

"Police in New Hampshire shot and killed a person armed with a knife after responding to a 911 call, authorities said on Monday."

The way it's phrased describes the police shooting someone that's armed with a knife, not this alternate scenario that you've come up with.

​

>I’d be sus if someone random shot an intruder and I’d want exactly the same info looked into to ensure it wasn’t actually just reckless unnecessary homicide.

Ok. Not sure what a "necessary homicide" is, but that's something. Are you trying to avoid the word "justified" because it's a term used for police involved shootings?

​

>I think they’re ALL bastards because even the good ones are not actually good if they’re working with and backing up the shitty ones who should be behind bars.

That's irrational. Do you have any reason to believe that there's anything nefarious going on with the department involved with this incident? It sounds like you don't, yet you're vilifying them anyway based purely on their profession.

​

>A good cop is one who quits as soon as they realize they’re working for an armed fraternity that regularly harms the public and tries to cover it up.

Are you wanting every cop on the planet to quit?

​

>women get called hysterical, emotional, and MORE so often you really shouldn’t waste your time with it anymore.

Holy hell. I had no idea what your gender was nor do I care. I'm calling you irrational because your opinions here are irrational.

​

>t’s not a flaw to have emotions and share them, it’s not a sign of mental illness to have strong emotions and/or feel very passionately about something.

Attributing the acts of a very small number of cops that have no connection to anyplace near here to the police involved in this incident based on almost no information is clearly not backed by any sort of logical thinking.

It’s not even fun anymore when it’s legal.

I get it and I agree. I guess I was wondering what has changed. They also have that large fenced in area next to the shelter. Can’t they set up more permanent tents for them on the shelter property?

I expect clueless old people with an average age of 92 to pass laws no one wants or understand, like making it illegal to use a thimble not made in NH.

Just looking for deposits and not loans? Ally is very good. But it’s not local. They give you allpoint ATMs for free and reimburse you $10 a month but that’s like two withdrawals - luckily no one uses cash much anymore.

The big drawback is if you deal in cash — you cannot deposit cash with ally - direct deposit and checks only. They have a 3.30 savings rate with no cap.

Their loan rates are meh.

If you are looking for personal hand holding service a credit union is your best bet. Northeast is decent but their ads about nourishing are weird. Service is supposed to be opening a branch in the new Concord plaza at some point.

DCU is great if you don’t have to talk to them. If you do, visit a branch because phone wait times or online times are horrid.

Maybe 10 years ago but not today. Today cops are under a fine microscope. Some would say people like yourself have an unrealistic expectation of their fellow humans. No cop goes to work wanting to end another humans life. I can't imagine the pressure of going to work a thankless job where a mistake in the most adrenaline fueled situation could land me in prison for 20 years. Imagine being 1 year from retirement. Following all your department training and still getting thrown in jail for something someone who wasn't even their thinks you did wrong. All I'm saying is let the facts come out before you condemn those who put it on the line every day.

Headlines are not facts. We don’t know that he even had the knife when he was shot, only that it was mentioned in the 911 call. We also don’t know that he wasn’t shot in the back while trying to run out of the house, so settle tf down

That wasn’t a dodge, it was a stupid question. If you want an answer: I’d be sus if someone random shot an intruder and I’d want exactly the same info looked into to ensure it wasn’t actually just reckless unnecessary homicide. I see way too many people (especially locally) bragging about how they can’t wait to use their new gun if any POS tries to rob them to be naive enough to not have questions there. Guns make some people— including cops— feel invincible and powerful, and that’s a common issue that can lead to really bad situations

My cousin was not killed in New England, and I have no idea who works at the police department in question here. I’m doing fine and have a therapist (long before my cousin died because I actively care about my well-being, but my therapist is also ACAB) and if you go back and re-read you’ll notice I mentioned I was firmly ACAB before my cousin even died, but his death and the injustice involved in BOTH deaths that night cemented the opinions and feelings I already had about our failure to reform law enforcement. For context, I’ve had extensive convos/debates exactly like this one before he died; I just didn’t have a personal connection to the topic then. My “personal trauma” isn’t why I think cops are ALL bastards— I think they’re ALL bastards because even the good ones are not actually good if they’re working with and backing up the shitty ones who should be behind bars

A good cop is one who quits as soon as they realize they’re working for an armed fraternity that regularly harms the public and tries to cover it up

I’m exhausted and about ready to wrap this up but friendly tip: women get called hysterical, emotional, irrational, and MORE so often you really shouldn’t waste your time with it anymore. It just doesn’t have the effect you want it to, and it makes you look like you’re too stupid to converse with. It’s not a flaw to have emotions and share them, it’s not a sign of mental illness to have strong emotions and/or feel very passionately about something, you’re wasting your time when you play the clean version of the “get some help, you crazy bitch” card, and suggesting therapy to someone because they actively and loudly want cops to stop harming and killing civilians kind of makes you look like the crazy bitch here

Maybe you should seek therapy for whatever trauma has caused you to get so emotional and irrationally worked up when defending cops ❤️

ps- yes, I am a criminal and I’m SO EMBARRASSED that you outed me like this. I literally just left a mugging and was on my way to meet your dad for drinks and maybe trying to bust open an ATM later but now I’m going to have to sulk all night and try to find a new identity before the police see this post 😞

The homeless have to sleep somewhere.

Agreed

Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t SCOTUS say they were constitutional? Don’t get wrong, I think this is incorrect but isn’t that the ruling nonetheless?

Lol yea OP was arguing about some bullshit a while back and posted a project veritas video. I think it was proof that there are litter boxes in schools for kids who identify as cats or some other far right nonsense. I tagged them to make sure I never take any of their posts serious.

Both are huge factors but, especially due to the salt on the coast and less fog coverage, it’s been hot and dry there most of the year and when I was 10-15 summer usually included a windbreaker or sweater. Now all summer is 80-100 degrees, and very dry. We used to be snowed out of the house half the winter and now we are lucky to get one storm. It’s drastic with how close we are to the Canadian border there, you really notice how similar weather is these days to the southern east coast.

I think everyone is behind this…good indeed

The courts have gotten in the way of towns enforcing anti-panhandling and vagrancy type of offenses. The best thing we could do now is to convince the homeless to pitch their tents in front of the homes of judges.

Liability is the real issue. Do I care if the police have an armoured car and swat gear? Not really.

But whether they use that or a standard issue handgun...if they wrongfully kill a baby I want someone in jail.

No knock warrants are no fun. Especially when they show up to the wrong address. Nothing like being woken up to crashing doors and guns in your face for no reason.

I think everyone needs to hold judgment until we can see the body camera footage. Those cops most likely knew this family, as they are fairly well known in the area. Instead of people shitting on the cops or family they need to wait and get all the facts before judgment. For now I choose to be sad for the family who lost a son, brother and uncle. As well as the cops who could have lasting mental damage themselves from taking the life of a child. This is truly a tragedy, and my heart breaks because they are a very good hearted family. We do not have nearly enough mental health support in NH.

Wow you're really doubling down on that emotionally charged language, and reeeeeeally leaning into strawmans.

I understand it's difficult for some to understand how loaded language can be used to subconsciously imply bias or propaganda for various purposes.

Let's try this: These two statements are factually the same event but give two different views of an event:

>4 children slaughtered in streets after school by illegal assault rifles

>4 gang members dead following release from prison for rape and sex tracking, get into shootout over drug dealing territory one evening.

I know you "can't picture" things, but do these resonate differently with you?

That's a reasonable argument.

🤣🤣 he wasn’t holding a knife, he was holding a knife in relation to a domestic call. It presupposes violence and thus the use of force. Once again, another disingenuous post denying the obvious. Create a red herring and then use red herring for your argument. Asinine.

Why did one cop use a gun and the other a taser? Threat assessment.

Shelter has been there for years. Why all of a sudden are tents allowed on the sidewalk
