I occasionally represent people who are seeking civil restraining orders. In most of those cases police could’ve done something to help my client but chose not to.

Oh god, that is an incredibly accurate comparison.

Florida has pretty stringent tort "reform" which would nullify any jury award that might be adjudicated to a poor person. Funny how it's never used to reduce corporate civil awards...

I can't help but think that her bond is twice what the reward money was for the guy who actually committed murder.

The NYPD actively makes non-violent protests impossible which makes violent protests inevitable.

Police is not an organisation for protecting people or maintaining safety. It's for protecting capital and maintaining the status quo.

They arent there to protect us, the police and the govt only exist to protect the capital of the ruling class.

I experinced severe bullying in high school, and it was pretty much was a sampler of what's to come. Keep your head low and don't let out a single word. Faculty, much like the police once graduate, will never help, only hinder you as their services are sold to the highest bidder.

I know someone mercilessly stalked for years and the pigs are like *shrug* "what can ya do" The takeaway is that cops don't do shit unless you're a corp or upper class

SCOTUS determined that it was ok for them to do that, they had no obligation to protect the woman and her children due to executive privilege on what laws get enforced. They can't be legally required to do it either.

When I worked at a call center, threats of murder felt daily. We didn't even think to call the police because under no circumstance would they have ever done anything. Should she have threatened to kill a call center worker? No. But $100,000? I'd be rich if death threats were worth $100k each

Weird how "that's just how the system works" until the threats are directed at someone the cops actually give a shit about.

There were literally online threats to my stepkid’s school that were treated like it’s no big deal.

My sister's vet clinic has gotten death threats before and the police have done nothing. But I guess a man threatening to come to the clinic and shoot up the place is much less threatening than a vague threat on a phone call with a help desk.

Yep-two tiers of justice also means two tiers of protection...as an integral part of sustaining the capitalist (mostly white male)hierarchy,law enforcement will always prioritize the wealthiest and their interests( property) first,and this goes all the way back to its origins in slave patrols. Sick.

To be fair, the NYPD didn’t catch Luigi either

Thanks!

imagine if she gets the care in jail that her coverage denied

How crazy is it that they actually got in trouble for that... Really does go to show insurance companies know they are in the wrong and seem extremely scared. What insane times

I personally had a cop laugh in my face when I showed them threats that were said to me. The police have never once been there to protect, they have always been there to serve the rich and elite. Glad ppl are finally catching on to that fact

All it takes is a rich CEO for vague threats to be actionable, apparently 🙄

They're afraid and they're lashing out

The letter denying coverage was the only “terroristic threat.” They had both motive, intent, and the ability to carry it out.

The most gratifying thing to me has been watching people from other countries learn about the American Healthcare system for the 1st time. It’s like they walked in on America beating its wife. And the news is America’s drinking buddy, saying, “You don’t understand, she was being a bitch!”

Laws are not there to protect you and the police are a standing army. Laws are there to protect oligarch assets, which sometimes happen to be people.

The whole thing is a call to action for the terminally ill, I would if I was.

Not only that, but I'm like, dude, it's dark out! 🤣

The funny thing is that their fear response will just galvanize the people they fear the most into direct action by highlighting just how much they have stacked the system against us. I dont think things are going to play out the way they want this to.

They don't need to convict her. They threw her in jail and set a $100,000 bond. Even if she's acquitted eventually, that doesn't take back the jail time that she's being forced to serve.

Once I was harassed at my job and the man pulled his junk out and tried to touch me with it. There was video evidence. I hit him with a hanger to get him to stop. Cops said "you should have been nicer to him" and did nothing. My loss prevention kept him away from me after that. Broken system.
